As I'd suspected he was standing alert at the glass door. He kept barking and growling for a few moments too long and I finally got out of bed (I sleep in the basement) and walked upstairs to check it out. Needless to say, that's not what happened. I let him bark for a few seconds, telling myself it was just someone walking past our glass door in the adjacent alleyway, and he would quiet down once they passed. ![]() Despite my comfort with staying home alone, I am still terrified of the premise of a break-in or some other uninvited human interaction at midnight. At the same time, however, he is the type of dog to bark at any noise or person walking past the door or windows, so I'm used to hearing him bark or growl at night.Įven so, this past Friday the sound of his barks at nearly 12 am were disconcerting, to say the least. I was especially comforted by the fact that my sister's dog was also in the house with me that night, and most noises could be attributed to him, and if anything were to happen he would act as a guard dog of sorts and alert me to anything odd. I'm not usually jumpy or afraid while home alone anymore used to the odd creeks and settling noises of our old house. I'm used to staying home alone as this exact scenario is very common in the summertime, especially while I'm working and can't travel from the cabin and back. So last Friday night, I (17m) was home alone while my family (besides my sister who was at work) stayed in their cabin a few kilometers away. Hi, me, my sister, and my mum have been trying to make sense of this for the past couple of hours and the facts get less comforting the more we compare our experiences of that night. ![]()
