911 call....lucy barking... loud...deep...growling bark...waking me from a sound sleep... she wouldn't stop... i sat up...turned on the light... asking her....what is it....she stands in an almost guard type stance...tale still...she hears something... she's got this look on her face....she looks away...then looks back at me.....continues her grrrrowl.....slow and methodical bark....as if she was speaking to the intruder.... i got up...searched the house....trembling from head to toe... called my friend johnM... someone is outside...my house... lucy is barking....he said call 911...right now.... so i did... holy shit i can't stop shaking... the 911 operator asked if i wanted contact with the officer....i don't know.... i'm here alone....there is someone outside....no....i don't need contact with the officer...unless they need me....a drive by will do... shit...i'm scared..... hanging up....crawling back into bed...almost hyperventilating .... oh fuck... someone is just outside my bedroom window... i see a flashlight....... johnM on speed dial... calling him again... he knows lucy....and knows it's very rare for her to bark...maybe little single hello barks...but not the repeated alarm... deep... loud...growling barks.... john said it was probably the police with the flashlight...call 911 and ask...so i did...and it was an officer on the scene.... within a few minutes... oklahoma cities finest was outside my house searching for prowlers...
oh oh...i see the police car drive by.... called john for what...the 4th time in like 5 minutes...told him i was safe...he laughed at me... kelley...i'm across town...i can't do anything... i know...but i just had to call someone....he replied...comfort call... yes... and if something happened...at least you would know......i'm not one to cry wolf.... and this is the first time i've ever called the police without proof positive... prowlers.... i know... someone was there... i could feel it...and lucy...was sounding off like a tripped alarm... perhaps she scared them away....who knows... actually this is the first time lucy has ever done this....in the middle of the night...and i'm not easily spooked...
a few days ago....she was laying on the floor next to me in the living room.... when she suddenly stood up and began...a short...growl like bark.... i looked out the window and saw a work truck... and then a man... okay..this dog is the shit.... if i hadn't witnessed this myself... i would never have thought there was an intruder...i would not have called the police....
i'm wide awake now....still shaking... feeling a little less scared...damn that was weird... okay relax...breathe...in....through the nose....breathe out.... lucy's calm.... she acts like nothing has happened...
i guess i'll be alright... i guess...whatever...who ever was out there has moved on...
