My dog is normal.

He does regular dog things like chase after cats and likes to play with stuffed animals.

He does one thing that weirds me out though.

Every single night, around 9pm, like clockwork, he gets up from doing whatever he's doing,

even if he's sleeping, and stands at the entrance to the hallway.

Sits down and stares out toward the end of the hall.

I've recorded him several times, and normally nothing else had happened, besides the staring.

But lately things have been getting out of hand.

He likes to do this thing where he flips onto his back and wiggles around barking, while

he's playing with us.

And he started doing something similar, about a month ago.

But where the hallway starts.

Except it's with angry growling.

Not his usual playful barking.

As soon as he sees me grab my keys to go to my car, he begins barking at me.

I tried to leave him home last week while everyone else was out of the house, but the

barking became too much, and I figured something was wrong, so I let him out into the backyard

where he finally quieted down.

He was by the back door when I came back home.

I watched a YouTube video once, where a dog refuses to go to his food bowl, because you

apparently see something in the kitchen area that he's afraid of.

My dog doesn't seem afraid now, though.
