Ghost Dog! (more like nosy dog)

I am reading my next door neighbor's Real Estate Listing for his home for sale (talk about nosy) and notice a strange, otherworldly presence in the home next door (ours) in the main photo. Since it is a townhome, a portion of the next door townhomes shows up in the picture. Now, if I had been some casual observer of the listing, and not a nosy neighbor, I would not have noticed that one of our pooches had insterted herself into the MLS.

Our Dogs like to observe. They observe everything while gazing out the window: chipmunks, neighbors walking by, rabbits, cars, workmen, and in this instance, a Real Estate Agent taking photos of the home next door. Darla tends to a affix a stare to humans that says "I notice you, I am not really fascinated by you, yet I will continue to observe. You amuse me, but not dramatically..Carry on."


Animals are Different. Below is Chippy, one of our dogs' chief antagonists. The other is Robby Rabbit.










Here's how the progession of my discovery presented itself. First we see a general listing of our neighbor's home along with a photo:








Fairly mundane, right? Well, I clicked on the option that shows a larger version of the same photo:






A closer look at the larger version yeilds a ghostly vision of who else but Darla. But am I sure? Only way to find out is to brighten the photo:








Yes yes..that is in fact Darla. I can tell that unenthusiastic gaze anywhere. So there you have it: Mystery Solved. If you ever do happen by our home, you'll see what I mean.

To demonstrate that the above story did not involve ghosts, below is a picture of BOTH of our young ladies.




Okay, one more of Darla (more on Ginny later)..
