I did go back when I got home from work last night at 5:30 with Buddy.
It was broad daylight out and it is not in a seclued area at all so I felt
pretty safe, really. Sure enough when we hit the same spot his tail went
under and he became frightened again. He pulled me back and would not
go further. I did look around the ground very closely, nothing, looked into
the woods for about 8ft in length by walking in the street and saw nothing.
You can see right into the woods beyone the low brush that surrounds
the grassy area. Just nothing there. It was a scent that was there that
scared the fur off of him would be my guess.
I went back like usuall for our second walk this am and sure enough as
soon as we hit the spot the tail went between his legs but he continued
to sniff around, not like yesterday. I would guess the scent was starting
to fade but he still smelled it. He walked slowly, tail tucked under until
we passed the area but was still frightened. Very strange. I would guess
it was some kind of wild animal that he never smelled before.
I'll just have to stay aware at night for our walk before bed.
Strange for sure. Boy did that incident come at the right time of year.
