So, I'm dead tired last night. Went to bed before midnight. Some time around 12:30 I was woken by this strange noise. At first I thought it was Dan weezing/snoring. But, as I gradually became more conscious, I realized it wasn't Dan. First thought was that a critter was in the pool. I could hear two distinct sounds now. I jump out of bed and run down the hall to the living room window that overlooks the pool. Nothing in the pool. I still hear the noise. It is not in the backyard. I stand still and listen. Its coming from out front--probably right near my bedroom window. I open the front door. The sound stops. I am thinking its an animal. But what sort? Is it safe to go outside? What if its a rabid fox? I stand at the front door for a bit, but the sound doesn't return. I go back to bed and listen until I fall asleep.

So, if you laughed at me and my rabid fox theory, I just have one thing to say. . .it was at least a fox. I looked up fox sounds today and this is what I heard last night:

I'm proud of myself for even investigating! :)
