Ok so, Didi and I were playing fetch on the driveway. I threw the ball and it went behind my car so that Didi had to go on the other side where I couldn't see her. Just as she went around the side, a motor cycle passed. She burst back into view barking and with her fur all sticking up.
I thought that the motorcycle sound bounced off the garage and sounded like it was coming from inside and startled her. I made her come to me and sit-stay while I went to go get the ball. As I was walking to get the ball, backwards to make sure she stayed, she was looking at me like I was going to my DEATH.
I turn around and look around, not seeing anything out of the ordinary, just a big leaf. I reach down to get the ball, which is next to the leaf. That's when the leaf MOVES and I stumble back with a yelp. That's when Didi breaks out barking again and starts wiggling in place.
It was a baby DOVE, sitting very very still and not making a sound. I hardly noticed it against the cement because of the soft color. I shooed it with my foot and got my ball.
So. My dog is horrified by doves.
Don't tell the dogs at the dogpark. :(

Sid is fascinated by birds. I'd swear he thinks he can fly. He's always trying to get them, and they drive him nuts! He's scared of the big black ones (ravens?) though. They're bigger than he is!

So she got her hackles up over a baby dove? Welcome to the world of corgi quirkiness! Charlie is terrified of the water hose, plastic bags, and the vacuum cleaner. (thats the short list) Corgis are too much fun! (sorry Didi, your gonna be OK)
