wind sucking pawing at ground crib biting walking in circles weaving
The past 3 mornings I have not been able to sleep, nor wake up to any of my alarms causing me to be late to work. When I arrived home around midnight tonight my dog was not acting like she normally does. She kept pawing at me to get my attention, kept going in her kennel, and staring and pawing at my alarm clock. I walked around the house with her many times to see if I could get her to point out something. This is extremely weird. Anyone know what any of this could mean?
