Got home last night to discover Sadie (the dog) all wound up about something and barking and squeaking and rushing about. I let her outside and she started barking even louder, and when I put her in her crate (she sleeps there- it's much less cruel than it sounds) she still wouldn't calm down. In the end, me and Laura took her into the sitting room, switched the fire on (I've never noticed what a weird phrase that is before) and tried to get her to settle down. We let her out again, and she went off on another mad barking spree. After a search in the dark, we eventually found what she was so wound up about-
A hedgehog had invaded out garden and was curled up in a terrified little ball next to the fence, being barked and scratched at by Sadie. We assume she must have sniffed it and pricked her nose, which was why she was so angry (and understandably so).
I have to admit I was disappointed it wasn't something a little more exciting...
here are some pictures of hedgehogs, just to give you an idea.
