When the night falls silent, my dog starts barking.

Explaining Nighttime Barking in Dogs
Barking at Night Can Be Confusing. Your dog may be calm, friendly with everyone, and seemingly well-adjusted all day. Then night falls, the house falls silent, and suddenly the barking starts. Every night. Sometimes briefly. Sometimes endlessly.

The Rift Behind the Palace Smile
Behind the polished smiles, glittering gowns, and carefully choreographed royal appearances, a quieter and more complicated story was unfolding. To the world, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle represented modern royalty: intelligent, elegant, and destined to reshape the future of the British monarchy together. But behind palace walls, the reality was far less harmonious. It began not with shouting matches or public scandals, but with small moments—glances, silences, and subtle discomforts that slowly grew into something impossible to ignore. One of the earliest cracks appeared during the Royal Foundation Forum in 2018. The event was meant to showcase unity between Prince William, Kate, Prince Harry, and Meghan. Cameras captured smiles and friendly conversation. But backstage, tension filled the air. As Meghan prepared for the stage, she casually asked Kate if she could borrow her lip gloss. It was an ordinary request, the kind women make without thinking. Yet Kate hesitated. According to Prince Harry’s later account, Kate looked uncomfortable—almost startled—before reluctantly handing it over. It was a tiny moment, but it spoke volumes. To Meghan, the hesitation felt cold. To Kate, the request felt intrusive. Two women, standing only feet apart, were already operating by completely different emotional rules. Kate had spent nearly a decade learning how to survive inside the royal system. She understood restraint. She believed in caution. Every gesture, every word, every expression was carefully controlled. Meghan came from a world where openness was power. Hollywood had taught her to speak freely, to connect emotionally, and to command attention. She was confident, expressive, and unafraid of being seen. Neither approach was wrong. But together, they collided. At the forum, the contrast became obvious. Meghan spoke passionately, effortlessly engaging the audience. She appeared polished, confident, and natural on stage. Kate, pregnant and exhausted, spoke more quietly and cautiously, following the traditional royal style. Headlines soon praised Meghan’s performance. Some even suggested she had “stolen the show.” For Kate, who had spent years patiently earning her place, it felt unsettling. Behind the scenes, another comment worsened the situation. Meghan reportedly joked about Kate having “baby brain” during her pregnancy. Meghan may have intended it lightly, but Kate was suffering from severe pregnancy sickness and was physically struggling every day. The remark cut deep. Soon, the four royals sat down for a tense private meeting. Emotions were high. No one yelled. No one exploded. But nothing was truly resolved either. They left knowing one truth: coexistence was necessary, but closeness might never be possible. Then came the wedding. In the days before Meghan and Harry’s ceremony, a disagreement broke out over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress. Rumors spread quickly that Meghan had made Kate cry. Meghan was labeled difficult, demanding, and cruel. Years later, Harry revealed the opposite: Meghan had been the one in tears. According to Harry, Kate insisted the dress needed to be remade entirely. Meghan, overwhelmed by wedding stress and family chaos, felt pushed too far. The argument ended with Meghan crying alone. Kate later arrived with flowers and apologized. The truth, as always, likely exists somewhere in the middle. But the damage was done. When Meghan publicly addressed the issue during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, she stated clearly: “The reverse happened.” With those three words, a silent war became public. Kate remained quiet, bound by royal tradition. Meghan spoke openly, determined to reclaim her narrative. William stood firmly by his wife. Harry stood firmly by his. Two brothers who once shared everything now stood on opposite sides of a widening divide. What makes this story tragic is not who was right or wrong. It is what was lost. Two women who could have been allies became symbols of rivalry. Two brothers who once walked side by side became strangers. A family built on tradition proved unable to adapt to change without breaking. The lip gloss, the dress, the comments—none of them truly mattered. What mattered was the clash of two worlds: Silence versus expression. Tradition versus transformation. Endurance versus reinvention. And once those forces collided, there was no turning back. The palace remained standing. But the fairy tale did not.

Badger did "Big Hup" Today!
Badger has had a year off since losing his eye to adjust to being a dog again. Since that time, he's lounged around the house or the kennel, taking brief walks on a leash, adjusting to walking in a straight line. Walking in a straight line has actually taken a lot of effort on his part, as his instinct was to drift in the direction that he could see or away from things by which he felt threatened. Heeling was a thing of the past. He either lagged behind me so that he could see me or ended up nearly to the end of his leash, several feet from my left leg because he brushed against me unexpectedly.
