i have a 7 year old doberman, sweet doggie :)
he stays outside most of the time where he can run and chase small critters and have a jolly time
had to let him in just a little bit ago, he's acting strangely
pacing the yard, whining, and generally acting nervous
now he's not a big fan of thunderstorms (comes in when it's stormy) and there IS some lightening off in the distance but i wouldn't think it's anything close enough to get him all bothered
when he comes in he gets on the couch and lays down and usually sleeps but tonight he keeps sitting up and whining and looking around all nervous
usually he's really mellow
just seemed kinda odd, so i thought i'd share
