So I wake up a little more and listen and I hear our back sliding door open! At this point I grab the gun off the night stand and slowly open my door. I then take a few steps towards the den which is where the sliding door is. As I get to the den I see a flashlight click on and off twice, then completely off.
So at this point my hearts racing, the adrenaline is flowing, my body is on full alert. Since its pitch black I reach around the corner and flip on the den light to see what creature of the night I'm up against, and then my mom walks in...she had gone outside to see what the dog was barking at (before yall start jumping to conclusions and cracking jokes about living with my mom I just graduated college 3 weeks ago and Im still looking for a job so at this point my options are limited)
So after its all said and done turns out my dog had come across a family of 4 or 5 raccoons in a tree and that is what all the fuss was about
Its funny now, but for a minute there it was a pretty intense moment for me. Hope yall get a good laugh out of this
