A few weeks ago Damon and I were binging on watching one of the Dexter DVDs. It was almost midnight. Suddenly we heard a very loud thud and the house shook, rattling the windows. We immediately jumped into “What the heck?” mode, sending the dogs outside to check for invisible predators. We saw our tree was still intact and not on the roof. I was dispatched to the attic to see if something fell (nothing amiss there). And D went into Fuller’s room to check the electrical panel. Fuller was barely awake, wandering in his room, and muttering, but quickly he was soothed back to sleep. We figured he woke up due to the sound or the dogs imitating ferocious attack dogs.

We just couldn’t figure it out.

A few nights passed and one morning Damon told me, “I know what made that loud bang the other night.”

Instantly curious I asked, “What?”

“Fuller.”

Wha?

Damon explained the noise had happened again the night before, which at first I was surprised me since I slept through it. He went and checked Fuller’s room and there was Fuller asleep on the floor. I guess he is a heavy sleeper.

No I didn’t go into hysterics about Fuller falling out of bed because is bed is just over 15 inches off the ground. And Fuller doesn’t do it often. I think the last time he fell out of bed he was… well, I can’t remember!

Mystery solved, and no one got hurt. Well, except my throat which was a little sore after dislodging my heart from it.
