My dog usually hears this stuff before I do, and anytime she wakes me up I grab my shotgun and go to condition 1, safety on. My bedpartner is ready with the phone, but usually we just wait a few minutes and go back to bed, sometimes she makes me "check all the doors again" and I take the gun with just in case, in the "alert" stance.
Sure, if I didn't instinctively grab the weapon and rack the slide, I wouldn't have to unload and reload it before bed... but the one time that I need it I'll be glad I did.
