I don’t quite know what happened last night but I was spooked by something and got scared. Very scared.

It is all a bit embarrassing really but something scared me – maybe I heard a strange noise outside or sensed an earthquake or something? But, about 6.30 pm as Tim was cooking tea I was one scaredy dog! I was whining and pestering my humans for attention and reassurance, and eventually Hilary took me upstairs as they thought perhaps a “bell” noise on the radio Tim was listening to was the reason. (But I knew that was just a bell, and bells aren’t scarey- they just mean someone is at the door- although as our door bell hasn’t worked for over a year now the only bells I usually hear are on TV and I still jump up to alert my humans someone is at the door – and they usually laugh at me)

Anyway Hilary took me up to her study and noticed I was still shaking all over. She stroked me and spoke in a nice calm voice, but I was still scared so went and hid under her desk. I have never been there before- it was quite cosy and as I moved I could pull on various wires that moved her keyboard and mouse !

When tea was ready we went downstairs – Hilary had to drag me by the collar as I wanted to stay in my hideyhole, and I didn’t relax properly till later on.

I’m a but embarrassed about being so scared yesterday so i had better be a big strong brave dog today!
