ZoE is now 6 months old and within the past week or so, has started barking when she sees her reflection.

I have an oval mirror on a stand in my bedroom and when it's tipped just slightly, she can see herself in it and will bark like crazy. She also barks at her reflection in the window at night, so I have to make sure the drapes/blinds all get closed at dusk. Today, she's discovered she can see her reflection in the glass cover to the electric fireplace in my living room and won't stop barking at it...and she's got a horribly sharp ear-offending bark...not a cute little yap.

Anyone else's dog do this? If so, was there a way you got them to stop, other than covering up the reflecting item, or is that my only option?
