The dog growls, seemingly at nothing. But my senses become alert. There is no one here, nothing to fear, and yet a primitive chill runs up my spine. I decide to leave our quiet writing spot and head back to the cabin.

Ohh, I hate that feeling. Oh well, there’s nothing wrong with a change of venue when you’re writing. Give your dog an extra treat today 🙂

Probably was a little chipmunk in the rustling in the woods, but I decided to call it a day anyway. Good doggie.

A mistake not to trust our instincts – body/spirit knowledge: wordless but profound. Regards Thom.

I find that often when I tell myself I”m being “silly” and ignore a gut instinct, I later regret it. So at the risk of seeming a little too anxious, I decided to head home.

No harm in trusting the instinct and being careful. But looking at the beauty of the photo, I want to believe that the dog growled at a bunny. That gives me chance to go back there again another day.

Very likely. I headed back to the cabin and had lunch and then a nap. So all ended well. 🙂

Like Jodi said, trust the dog. Creepy…

It was sunny and beautiful where I was sitting. Those blue flowers were on my left side and there was a field of green behind me and crystal blue, beautiful water in front of me. It wasn’t creepy until the dog growled (which I’ve never heard her do as she is only a year old) and for some reason I felt completely unnerved. No idea why. Most likely a hawk or a raccoon in the woods, but I decided lunch at the cabin sounded good.

Dogs never growl for nothing, and even if there was no real danger, it is better to trust the dog’s instinct.
Love the chicory flowers in your photograph.
