Haha! Same! I took a chair and put it by my window, now every time something brown passes by, I look up like a cat seeing something move by fast.
I live on a Cul-De-Sac, and sitting in the chair facing the front window. I have the dog firmly planted at the window on watch duty. The dog barks if anything comes in the Cul-De-Sac, annoying the other 364 days of the year, but not today.
