Y - Stray

Indy was a stray picked up by the Humane Society twelve years ago. They didn't know any more about her than the road where she was found. All I knew is, though I don't have a doorbell, she would run barking to the front door when she heard a doorbell on TV.  My guess is she was a family pet that lived inside a house for her first few years.  Lately she runs to the door and barks multiple times a day even though there is no one there.  Could be that w/ the cover of snow she is confused by hearing cars further off.  Maybe she's going a little cabin-crazy and just enjoys a good bark.  Probably she figured out that, since I reward her when she lets me know someone is visiting, jerking my chain a little might cause a kibble to fall out.

Stray is a shortened version of the Old French word estrayer.
