The west end of the valley
Stays light when all goes dark
No houses anywhere close
The dogs begin to bark.
Hubby laughs and says,
"You watch too many alien shows!"
But he doesn't hear the mountains talk
Or watch the way the dogs go.
It's not their game bark
They do not "bay" a trail
The dogs face the southwest
Bark and tuck their tails.
If my farm pack could only talk
To tell me what they hear
I could smile at Hubby and say
"It ain't no blooming deer!"

:) one knows their dogs' barks.
ha. if it is aliens...beware the probes....just saying...ha.
def if they could talk it might get a bit interesting....
What Brian said. Stay inside.
keep them up there unless it is ET he is cute
Animals have a sense that humans don't ..you convinced me now work on Hubby... :)
There out there ~ yeserie Bob , go get em Rover !
and take them to your leader ;)
Lights out in the country. That is a concern. Stay behind those dogs! :)
I love this, can just see them tucking their tails. If you like shows about aliens you must see The Fourth Kind, a true story that occurred in Alaska and includes actual footage of some events......it is a movie, but also includes a few scenes of actual footage. The freakiest thing I have ever watched.
Another really good piece, Gail. :-)
Another great post!!!
I just love your attitude & your sense of humor. Excellent write!
Don't think I could live where even the dogs are displaying fear.
Best one ever . . .
This is so good. Reminds of those lights in the blue ridge mountains that nobody could explain. . .
"It's not their game bark" I like the attention to the details, homespun and alien.
The dogs always warn, whether friend, foe or the unknown. The unknown they see...long before we!
Watch out!!
I trust your instincts…
;)
