Lovely.
Was woken up by BARKING. A lot of it. Loud, frequent, LOUD barking. Shaken, I checked and made sure that my dog was ok and in the house. I got out of bed, looked outside, and there were two police cars in front of my house, sitting in the dark.
I opened my front door, and eventually I figured out that the barking was from within one of the police cars, which also had someone inside it, sitting in the dark. Eventually the cop shut the dog up. Thanks for being so considerate at 1:10 in the morning!
There it goes again. Barkbarkbarkbark. Barkbarkbarkbark. What is going on? Why is this happening? Why do they sit in the dark, letting their damn dog bark? It’s residential, it’s late, and it’s LOUD.
I also have no clue where these cops are. It’s not uncommon for the police to pull up to one person’s house and go elsewhere, another practice I find unnerving. Since I’m from out of town I always think, well, they’re there to tell me bad news. Silly, I know.
I’d say I would check the police blotter column in the morning, but it doesn’t always print everything. So I may never know what this is about. Two cars though, which is extra distressing. Usually I see just one, especially in this small town.
Well, good luck to me falling back asleep. And I HOPE everything is all right.
