The ghost dog lies in wait behind Badger |
Badger yelped in surprise but decided to be friendly to the ghost. He assumed a "play bow" position and wagged his tail. The ghost dog did the same. Badger leaped toward the ghost dog and... crashed into the sliding glass door. The ghost dog was
By this time, Badger had had quite enough. "Go away!" he barked at the ghost dog. The ghost dog barked back with equal ferocity. Badger looked to his humans for help, but they only scolded him and gave him a time-out in his crate. At least there he was safe from the rude ghost dog.
But there was no way to hide from the ghost dog. Every night, it would come out and taunt Badger, first asking him to play and then barking smack at him. According to legend, there is even a room in the apartment where the ghost dog can appear in bright daylight....
The bedroom: the most haunted room in our apartment |
Mushroom, on the other hand, has never seen a ghost.
Is your dog scared of their reflection?
Aahh yes. Just last night Trinity was barking ferociously at herself in the mirror. It's funny cause she'll see me or Zach in the mirror but then will bark at herself. Poor dog doesn't understand the concept of a reflection.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I hadn't considered what Badger thinks when he sees our reflections. He might not notice them at all, because they're not at his eye level.
DeleteTess refuses to look herself in the eye in the mirror lol I'll hold her up to it and she'll fight me and try to hide her face in my neck :) so funny!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I can see that happening in my head, where she's like "Noooo get it away!"
DeleteSo funny that he notices...I don't think our own dogs ever notice, though fosterdog SuperLevi used to see himself in store windows all the time. I think he was just checking out how handsome he was.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Badger's not scared, and he just has low self-esteem?
Deletemy first dog Kaya used to bark at her reflection but Maisie never seems to see hers!
ReplyDeleteMushroom hasn't seemed to notice her reflection either, or at least she doesn't react to it.
