Every night I always leave a light on in my living room. To switch it up, sometimes I'll leave a kitchen light on instead. To really mix things, I'll keep both on. Last night, only the living room light was on.
About 5'am, I woke to my dog growling, very loud. He never growls. So I jump outta bed, grab my Glock 19 out of the holster, toss an extra mag in my pocket, and grab my EDC Nitecore light.
My wife stays in the bedroom, and I slowly open the bedroom door, step into the hallway, close the door. From where I'm standing, I see the living room light is off. I just stand there, listening. Not hearing anything, I walk to the end of the hall.
When I reach the end, keeping my gun down at the ready position, barrel pointing down. I raise my light up, keeping my elbow tucked in. I turn the corner, entering the living room, flashing my light around.
The only thing I see was Barney at the front door. I tell him to move, and I turn on the outside light. And open a blind, and use my light to search the front yard. Nothing.
I think Barney scared whatever it was away. Later, I find the living room light had burned out. I changed the bulb, petted Barney,'and went back to bed. Laid there awhile making sure it was alright.
I still think Barney scared it away. And I don't believe it was an animal. I know him enough to believe someone was out there. Like I said, he never growls. Barney fell asleep outside our bedroom door.
Thinking about what happened as I type this, I know I probably made a lot of mistakes.
Can anyone guess them?
Also thinking, I NEED to take that Low Light Class by ACT.
