Sounds of Movement

In the shade of the giant Tree of Life, the picnic table is an excellent place to take a nap. The key, of course, is to keep an ear trained for any sounds of movement from inside the house.

Laying on picnic table

At the slightest sound from the house, you have to move your radar ears into position.

Head shift

If the noise is so low that you can’t be sure, then you have to go to higher level listening positions.

standing

And, then, bolt into action if the noise is confirmed.

Running

And all of this occurs so fast that you greet the Hu-dad just as he steps out of the house to the deck.

    Isn’t it amazing the way our dogs are always focused on what we are up to and respond sometimes before we even know ourselves!
