So the dogs are standing on the porch, staring out intently

[hedgehog]

and barking like crazy. It's bright and sunny and there's nothing there!

Are they barking at something I can't see, or just trying to fake me out?

1. Yes

[MrScorpio]

2. Predators, dude

They're everywhere!

[old mark]

3. They are traveling in time and barking at the things that will be creeping

toward your house tonight...


in the dark...


silently...


horrible, drooling things...

:wow:

Have a great day!:hi:

4. Be grateful

They're barking now so they won't have to get up at 2am -- very considerate I'd say.

Or they're just messing with you.

5. They have acute hearing. They heard Beck's voice.

6. ours do that sometimes before a big branch falls off of a tree

they will make a lot of racket then the next day some huge branch will be on the ground

7. Sometimes all of the dogs in our neighborhood go off in synch

I can never tell what they're all excited about, but it's like a veritable chorus or cacophony.

But the even more weird thing is that when it happens, my own dog does not react AT ALL. It's like she doesn't even hear them. I don't get it.

8. Earthquake. Don't be surprised if you hear on the news there was a small tremor.

10. I just figured it out. You're right about dogs predicting eathquakes.

My dogs are predicting the weather. The Great Lakes have reached record temperatures, meaning that they will be dumping a lot of moisture all winter, meaning that my dogs were actually barking to warn me of the big lake effect storm coming in mid January.

:scared: <-- not scared, cold.

9. I don't know, but a lot of Stephen King scenes start something like that...
