If you haven’t heard of the movie, ” Good Boy ” about the dog who is trying to save his beloved human from a haunted house. I feel sorry for  you. Also, t his post might not make a lot of sense to you.

Last week something woke me up in the middle of the night- well, more like early in the morning. It was around 2:30 in the morning.

I looked around for my dog Hamish to see  if he was overly interested in anything or standing at attention. That’s how I know he’s picked up on something I should be concerned about.

He wasn’t in the room with me at all.

Not weird in itself, sometimes he gets up to get a drink or look out the living room window. But when I call him, he always comes to me.

ALWAYS.

I kept calling him and by the time I got to the living room I was sort of in a panic  because Hamish not answering me was a very un-Hamish like thing to do.

When I got into the living room, I saw him standing at the living room window and he was pointing at the window. Now, if you have ever seen a Labrador point, you know they don’t do a ‘pretty point ‘.

When he turned to face me, he looked down and then he looked at me.

” Hamish, forward “- I told him.

Then Hamish backed up ( which yeah, worried me ) and then he jumped.

He jumped as if he was leaping over something and when he took his forward spot  ( when I call him forward he’s supposed to come to me and then sit ) he didn’t wait to be released.

He grabbed a random toy and then he ran into our bedroom.

I thought that maybe Hamish had trouble with his vision, or maybe his age is starting to show on him- but the thing is, he hasn’t had a repeat of this incident and he’s not afraid to go to the window.

So I don’t know what Hamish picked up on- was it an animal? Possibly.

Was someone that he felt was a threat was on the ground floor below us?

Wouldn’t surprise me.

But when I go back and see him rear up and seemingly jump over something that I couldn’t see, but he could.

It’s a little weird.
