Guard Dog on Duty

So, I'm drifting to sleep...and out of nowhere Crazy sounds start coming from outside the bedroom...I'm not sure if they are upstairs or what, but I grab the .40, clear it from its holster, and the dog has already woken up and is scoping with me...I turn on one light, two lights, the hall light, its coming from the closet... The salt was being used in the water softner... But the dog was ready! LOL.
