Frisky The Flying Dog

My sister & her family had a little Terrier type dog named Frisky. Now we all called this dog "THE Frisky" when he wasn't around. He pretty much hated everyone and everything that wasn't part of his immediate family. He had one of those "well ok I'll not chew your leg off today, my master seems to like you, but watch out tomorrow" type attitudes. I knew the dog for over ten years & he still barked at me as I came in the door! Anyway in my sister's room was a full size bed, a crib for Todel, a dresser, a chest, a night table, and a rocker. Not a whole lot of free space there. She always kept the door to the closet locked and the one opening to the hall closed, when they were down for the night. Sometimes the Frisky slept in the room, somtimes not. (after this incident the Frisky never stepped a paw in the room!)
So they are all down for the night, she wakes up to hear the Frisky growling, soon he is running around in a circle in the middle of the room, always facing in with his snoot down on the floor snarling & growling & barking to beat the band. Just as if someone is standing there not moving. (Just like the little bugger had done to me on more than one occasion) By now her husband wakes up, both of them are trying to keep Frisky quite so's not to wake up Todel. Frisky pays them no attention. Now this is strange because most times when 'ol Frisky had somthing treed, if they called him off, he came 'a running all happy & stuff like "hey 'dya see that? I got 'em for 'ya!".
The dog just got louder and crazier barking like they had never heard. He woke up other people in the house. All of a sudden the dog is rising fast stright up from the floor, to within inches of the ceiling! He hangs there in mid air for about 5 seconds, and drops back down! (Count to 5 it's a long time!) Splat on the floor! Well the Frisky shuts up now, and jumps up on the bed up against the wall! Throughout this whole deal, about 5 minutes, the child Todal never wakes up!
Old Frisky was ok, except for his pride. He yelped when he hit the floor, but nothing was broke.
