scared to death

5:30 am Piper has to go potty.  I get her in her harness, get the poop bag and out we go into the pitch black darkness of the campground.  She finds her spot. This is the one.  Begins her stance only to have someone remote start a GIANT silver pickup with searing headlights illuminate her little body in the dark.  The sudden blast of the massive diesel engine noise stopped her heart still in it's place.  She was frozen with fear.  I scooped her up and took her back to the RV.  We went out a little later after the sun was peeking out.  Poor little pup! She was petrified in place!
