How much (trouble) is that dog in the window?

Cedar gets a bit worked up by the brown lab puppy who appears in the window when it gets dark out. This can lead to all kinds of trouble. Last night I put a board over the glass part of the door where her doppelgänger (doggelganger?) trends to lurk. Of course, she knocked the board over onto her astroturf potty, so at some point she pooped (“eliminated” as the dog books like to say), next to that. Lord only knows where the pee went.

The simple fix, I think, will be to turn off all lights at bed time. As for the little brain that fears her own reflection, time will tell.
