my boy, loki, a 7 year old siberian husky has taken on a new quirk over the past year.
he barks at clouds. not just any cloud. he gets going when he sees a single, small cloud-either by itself in the sky or far enough away from the main group to stand out.
on cloudy or partly cloudy days he keeps his gazes upward to watch out for those small straglers.
when he sees one he doesn’t like he barks and howls up at it several times. then he usually runs in the house or runs behind me. sometimes it goes on for a while until either the cloud disperses, or i tell him to stop barking and get him engaged otherwise. might associate it with bottlerockets-he hates the sound when these go off, then may see the accompanying small smoke cloud; or might associate it with large airborn predators, or whatever-is he seeing dragons?
strange but funny when it happens. no one really knows what dogs are thinking.
anyone else witnessed this in their dogs?
