what are you barking at pooch?

so i have to take a second to apologize to my pooch, gizmo.  for a couple weeks i would be woken up by giz randomly barking in the middle of the night.  i would stumble around the house half asleep checking for intruders.  this happened night  after night for several weeks and each night i could find nothing inside the house or out.  finally giz would bark and i would yell "there's nothing there stupid pooch go back to sleep!" but still night after night bark bark bark.  then on one lucky night giz barked and i heard something to.  i recognized the sound of the trash can lid outside the back door.  i walked through the dark house to the back door and flipped on the flood lights to be greeted by gizmos nemesis.

i'm sorry for doubting you little pooch.
