One of my dogs is acting really strange lately. I've been working from home a lot lately, 2-3 days per week, and I've noticed some weird behavior out of my male, Harley, and this all came to kind of a pinnacle on Friday, and has continued over the weekend and today.
I've noticed this doesn't happen when my wife is at home, so either whatever is going on is only active in the mornings and early afternoons, or it has something to do with her being absent. Normally, Harley is very laid back, and a very chill dog. Normally he just wants to be around and hang out. Very low energy dog. So, the latest stuff he's doing is very out of character for him.
We have noticed that he likes to be under our bed during the day. He's always been a burrowing type of dog. He's been napping under our bed during the day ever since we moved in to this house 2 years ago, so that isn't out of the ordinary. But, lately, he's been going into these really bad barking/growling/whining fits while under the bed. It honestly sounds like he's fighting and when i'm here and this is going on, I'll go in to check on him and he's fine, just noticeably freaked out about something... Friday, for example, I thought maybe he was stuck under the bed, he sounded so panicked I thought there was legitimately something wrong. So, I went up there, and coaxed him up to on top of the bed, and he just curled up against me under the blanket and whined and shivered... So, I brought him and his bed and a blanket into my office, and put him under my desk, and he was fine the rest of the day.
Saturday, the wife was out gardening, and I was doing some work (I work in IT and weekend work is common), and Harley was under the bed again, started freaking out again. Same thing, I got him out from under the bed, and he just whined and shivered until I took him outside with the wife.
Sunday, similar thing, except he wouldn't come out from under the bed at all. No treats, offers for walks or play time or toys or anything would get him out from under there until the wife came back from whatever she was doing.
Now, today, this is what's going on... Same thing with the under-bed freakout. Except when I CAN get him out from under the bed, he takes a single glance at the ceiling, tucks his ears and his tail like someone is shouting at him, and he hauls ass back under the bed. I've been able to get him outside, and he's fine when he's outside (that's where he is right now). But, if I open the door for him to come in, he will get about halfway into the door, glances at the ceiling and tucks ears and tail and runs back out into the yard.... He WON'T come inside anymore.
Now, I'm pretty skeptic with this paranormal stuff. But this has all started around the same time I've noticed some other weird stuff going on around here... For example, my tools are constantly being moved around... I have my tool box in the garage very neatly organized, and I will go in there to find something and it will be in the wrong drawer entirely... I've just attributed that to the wife using the tools and not putting them back in their spots... Or, I'll go downstairs into my man cave, and all the lights will be on. Again, I attribute this to me being forgetful about it. Or, another thing, I have a server rack in my basement that has my media server, my networking equipment for the house, and my home theater equipment for my man cave in it... On top of it, I have a monitor connected to the media server when I need physical access to it. This monitor says powered off 99% of the time, and the past few weeks, every time I go down there, the monitor is on. Same thing with it, I assume maybe I've forgotten to turn it off, or some process is powering it on or something... I dunno.
I've also been woken up in the night 100% sure I'm hearing footsteps and voices in the house... There have even been times where the wife has heard it too, and I've gone through the house with my gun while she called the police. Nothing found. No signs of a break-in or anything.
I've found cabinet and pantry doors open in the kitchen.
And finally at least twice, the water in the master bathroom faucet has turned on, on it's own. And I don't mean water leaked from the faucet, the handles were turned and water was flowing.
This all has occurred within the last 2-3 months or so... I can easily dismiss a lot of this stuff, but with my dog now doing what he's doing, I'm getting a tad worried... I'm starting to run out of excuses for this shit. Who do I call for this stuff?
PS. Harley has a vet appointment tomorrow.
Edit: one thing I forgot to add, we got a robotic vacuum like 2 weeks ago and it's in the master bedroom right now. But, he doesn't hang around while it's running, he's usually downstairs until it's done. And his freakouts only seem to occur when it's on it's charger... I'm going to move it into another room in case it's making some noise I can't hear but he can.
