Another full moon

Lots of drama this week. Clear nights and a big hunter's moon. To maintain peace at night, I've resumed hanging a sheet in the front bay window. The neighbors probably think I'm hiding a meth lab in my kitchen.
The sheet wasn't enough on Monday, because the moon shone through the window in the front door. So I ended up taping a pillow case over that.
He is less wild than he used to be when the moon was up, and when he's outside, he doesn't bark at it at all (although he definitely takes note of it and wants to run fast). And indoors, he'll stop and lie down when I tell him "enough." Trouble is, when he gets up, the moon is STILL THERE. Redirecting works pretty well when the source of excitement is temporary--such as a dog walking by or someone at the door. None of the books I've read offer suggestions on how to redirect a dog from something that doesn't go away.
There is, however, an interesting discussion on a border collie message board I follow about spinning. A couple of BCs rescued from a puppy mill in Tennessee--where dogs were confined in small, filthy cages--engage in mad, OCD, spinning behavior. Apparently, this is not unusual behavior for dogs that have been kept in close quarters: the poor dog is bored and has nowhere to go so he spins. Since we believe Zorro was also confined for long periods, maybe barking at the moon is his version of spinning.
In other drama, on Tuesday, Zorro terrorized a golden retriever on the path. Denny put him in a sit but he still barked ferociously, lunged and made a little girl cry. So we still have a lot of work to do on the socialization front.
On a more positive note, we took him with us Tuesday to meet some friends at a bar in Falls Church. Left Zorro in the truck and he was perfectly fine with that; sometimes I think he'd be happy spending the rest of his life there. We brought some of our friends out to meet him and they were impressed with his affectionate and good behavior. I guess we are fortunate that he has no issues with people.
