Okay,last night I was up till about midnight on the computer,mostly working on my photo shop trying to perfect a picture.
So I was getting ready for bed.I turned off the TV and went up to my room,and I can hear the dogs(or somebody's dogs,it's hard to tell out in the country),going nuts.For some reason you can hear the dogs bark more clearly in certain room than in others.My room is one of them(which you can imagine gets annoying when I'm trying to sleep).I went back downstairs to yell at them out the door.When I opened the front door,I couldn't tell if it was our dogs or somebody else's,because they kind of sounded further away and there was a really...dangerous tone to the barks.It didn't sound like my dogs when they're just barking at other dogs or animals or something.But I didn't yell,because I didn't know what to yell at.So I closed the door,and as I was coming back upstairs,dad was coming down askng what the dogs were barking at.So he heard them too.And he knew it was our dogs.I went to bed and thought nothing of it.
This morning,just minutes ago,my mom told me the my grandma Reed called(my mom didn't even hear the dogs last night).She said my dogs were chasing a PROWLER out of our YARD down the road and into the bushes.She said it looked like this guy had a scooter there waiting.Good dogs...good dogs...
So we had some creep lurking around on our property!It could have been a burgler or a murderer!Well,now I've got all the dooys locked,I've got my dogs loose,sitting on the porch steps(right near the front doors,so they've got a good veiw of the whole front area where the guy was last night),I've got a heavy hammer and a butcher knife right next to me,and I'm going to carry it around everywhere until dad or mom gets home.
And I'd like to mention how when I was babysitting yesterday,I looked out the window around noon and saw one of the doors on the barn was open.Now,this door swings open a lot IF it's not latched.I went out there and the latch had been broken off.
And if someone had tried to enter the barn,they could've used any of the entrances,including the main door at the front,because none of them were really locked,just latched.But someone trying to get in might not have known that.And even then,why didn't they try a door on the side of the barn OPPISITE the road?Then anyone in the house(though they'd probably assume it was empty) would not noticed so much and no passing cars or neighbors could see.And another thing,if someone really did want into that barn,what were they planning to steal?An old disected lawn mower?What I've said in this paragraph are the reasons why it was unlikely someone was in the barn.But...
An intruder may assume there was something of value inside,so they went in just to check it out.And then again,above I said they might not of known that all the doors could be used.So this is a person who has not been around before.And how did the latch break off?Further more,when Courtney,the ten year-old I was watching,and I were outside on the hill with the dogs behind the house,she said she thought she saw someone get out of a car and stand next to the barn,then get in and drive away.But the way she said made me not believe her.The dogs wouldn't have known,they were laying down next to us looking out over the hills.
But when I saw that door was open when we were in the house,I told her I had to go to the barn to attend to something,but she insisted on coming with so I told her to stay behind me at all times.I went to the barn,examined the door and that's where I saw the latch was gone(later I went through the door way and accidently kicked up the latch).Courtney and I went in through the main entrance,along with the dogs,and I yelled out things like,"I sure hope there's no intruders in here." Courtney added things about us having a gun,lol.
Well,I had her stay in the main big room in the middle with the dogs,and I picked up my dad's crowbar laying on the floor and searched the little rooms.I searched just about everywhere,but there were two places I didn't.The old car that's been parked in the barn for years and years.The doors were unlocked,anyone could've layed down inside.They couldn't even hidden behind the car.And there was a little room near that that I didn't go in.There's kind of a big long wooden door that just swings open and closed.It doesn't latch or anything.The room it goes to is I believe part of the old chicken pen(which is the room right next to it),because there a very small door between them.But I didn't believe anyone was really in the barn then,so I didn't bother.
As I was leaving,I saw Courtney had gone back to behind the house with the dogs.So before I closed the door to the barn,I called out inside,"There better not be anyone in here,cause you mess with me when I'm babysitting,I will kick your ***!".
Well,I'm kind of freaking out right now.I don't really want to stay home alone(not that I have a choice),but I don't want o leave either,because if someone did try to break in to the house,I'd wanna be able to stop them from stealing anything.So!Hammer,check,knife,check...I might go out and get that crowbar.
So,pray that I live through today!Thanks!Bye bye now!
No rock,no fun.
