It's that time of year when our little hyperactive mixed-breed goes bonkers in the backyard whenever she hears or smells nearby deer in the woods.
We've been a little worried that she'll succeed in hopping over the fence. Then what? I can imagine one of those deer, if it felt threatened or cornered, could intentionally or accidentally injure her or worse.
Yet, despite all the bravado, I take this very same dog for a run through our neighborhood the other day and she gets frightened by an inflatable holiday decoration.
I was jogging by a house with one of those inflatable Christmas trees and I almost tripped over Anna as she jerked my leash and bolted toward the middle of the road after being startled by it.

if it makes you feel any better, my greyhound was once run off her favorite couch by a yellow balloon that was losing its helium and got scooted marginally toward her by the air conditioning kicking on.
