Restless doggie...

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
