I would help you if I could but remember that the dogs are protecting you. You have the dogs. Maybe you have a flashlight laying around somewhere? So you can light up the area outside and see that there's nothing there.

I will brainwash Cujo into protecting you from muggers and bad people. Now that is an idea for a horror movie we both can get behind.

PTSD makes the simple tasks so difficult, nobody gets that either. It's like we wear scars, emotional scars. Maybe have a plan, l have lots of flashlights everywhere, because l worry about power going out.

Flashlights are handy to have and now they sell those powerful led flashlights. I have a flashlight that lights up 400 yards. And if you point it at someone it's blinding. So if I hear something outside late at night I just light it up with that. It's usually just deer.
