Recently I was home alone at night. My husband had taken the kids out shopping and I was home alone enjoying the ice cream silence. I can’t even remember the last time this happened. I was probably single and had a perm.
I walked upstairs to get something when I heard a light scratching noise coming from my son’s bedroom. “That’s strange, ” I thought.
I non-stupidly whipped out my phone and took several pictures of my son’s room. I thought the flash would illuminate whatever was in there. I don’t know why I didn’t flip on the light switch, but I was effectively creeping myself out and not thinking straight.
With the first shot, I saw this.
If you can make it out, it’s my chihuahua.
I was amused at how our old dog had freaked me out, but then I noticed she was still just standing there, staring at me.
She just stood there, staring at me. For five pictures.
I had an Amityville moment and thought about obeying that imaginary voice in my head that said “get out”!
Instead I just slowly closed the door and backed down the stairs.
I heard the dog click her way back into her little doggy bed. Can chihuahuas giggle?
Hilarious~ Thank you for the laugh!
I loves it!
LOL!
Haha…if your dog can really giggle you might have found a way to get rich on America's Funniest Videos.

Fern, are you okay?
translated…"yes! it sounds, more or less, like this: heeheeheeheeheehee!"
come on…think Chihuahua, ¡caray!

Too funny, Fern!
Funny!
I especially love how you were careful to put your web address on those fabulous photos! No telling who might want to swipe those and sell them on the internets.
Lol, it's just a habit I've gotten into when I edit.
I think the only worse picture I've seen was my high school senior portrait, and that guy didn't have the excuse of using a camera phone it the dark!
I seriously hope that chihuahuas can giggle, because that would seal the deal on their awesomeness.
I remember one day when I was a kid I knew someone was upstairs. I froze and kept watching their shadow. The shadow froze. We sat that way for about ten minutes, my heart was pounding. Finally I screamed out, "Hello?" and my brother answered. We had both been sitting their terrified. Awesome.
Amanda, good thing neither one of you were packing heat.
Great post. I appreciate the laugh and the photos, although I couldn't make out the dog. Is it black?

Amanda, I can empathize. My sister and I had a few of those moments. I'm not entirely sure she didn't do it on purpose though. I was rotten. I probably deserved it!
