Noises In the Night

I think we have all woken up in the middle of the night because we heard a strange noise. We have all grabbed the baseball bat or the gun and almost shot our dogs because it walked into the kitchen chair while trying to get a drink of water. Poor dog! Some people I know have even called the cops because they swore someone was robbing their house. If you have a story that involves you or your spouse, their pajamas and a baseball bat...please share.
