Odd night
 

Last night was really strange. You know how you hear those stories on dogs sensing something before it happens? Well last night I was stressing out because I thought Peanut was sensing something!!

We went to bed, we always take Pnut with us, for a couple mins of snuggles before we put him in his crate for the night. It was our nightly routine. We snuggled and he licked and got up to be put it in his crate. DH got up and placed him in his crate.

Well about 5 mins later I heard him crying. I told DH he might have to pee. DH lets him out and he said he went a little bit. He came back and put him in his crate. Maybe 10 mins later I heard Pnut crying again. It wasn’t his normal cry. It sounded like his little puppy cry, like he needed something or something was wrong. I let him out and he ran over to the bed- This is not like him. Peanut loves his crate and never wants to sleep with us. I let him in bed with us.. He went under the blankets and started licking then he laid down.

10 mins later he got out and went over to DH he kind of sniffed DH’s face, and made a little peep- I then started thinking OMG is Peanut sensing something… Is DH going to have a heart attack or something… I was kind of stressed. Pnut then laid half way on DH and half on me. He didn’t lay down completely he left his head up and his ears up. It seemed like he was protecting us.

It was really strange, this is not really like Peanut. I was petting his back and I fell asleep, Then DH got up and was coughing really bad and woke us up, Dh got up to get some water- Peanut got up and wanted off the bed. I let him down and he went in his crate.

It was so strange, I don’t know what was up with Pnut last night. Thankfully nothing happened. It was just odd!!

You may not see or hear anything for several days, then all of a sudden, you will realize, THAT was what he was trying to communicate to us!"

It is odd when they act out of the ordinary. I know dogs can sense things one night jewels was acting very nervous and panting during a thunderstorm and it was extreme. I had the tv on and they said a funnel cloud that could produce a tornado was headed our direction. It turned and didnt come our direction however I know Jewels knew it was not an ordinary storm

aaw, it does seem like he was sensing something.

Ya it was too strange for him- That is not how he acts. Something was up!! It is beyond crazy how smart these little beings are! I am sure there is a purpose for his strange behavior!

What a good girl she is!! She was sending a message to you that something isn't right! They are so smart!

Obviously he sensed something not right or not the same and he was worried. They have a sense we know nothing about sometimes!

I wish they could talk LOL- Maybe not all the time, but only when needed!!

LOL Could you imagine if they could talk all the time?!! HAHA

That is odd... I wonder what was up with Pnut?

Dogs do use their 6th sense, maybe even more, but they also have better hearing than we do. He could have heard something outside, maybe a coyote in the distance. Either way, we should always pay close attention like you did to our dogs behavior.

I made the mistake of watching some ghost hunter show on one of the channels that I never watch. It showed how these dogs would act really freaky before some strange thing would happen in the home.Thankfully I have never had that experience. Animals do have senses that humans lost long ago. They can tell when body chemistry changes as well as atmospheric changes. Too bad we can't understand some of the things they try to communicate to us.

That is a good point- We do live backed on a hill side and I know we have lots of critters in the back!

I would be making an appt for DH to see his Dr & sooner rather then later. Is DH sick with a cold rite now ? if not & he's coughing this could be a sign of heart trouble. The coughing can be continuous or spuradic with the heart.

He was recently sick with a bad cold. His cough still has a hold of him, but thank you for bringing that to my attention!

I would still be going in for a check up. My Brother & Sister in law had a poodle about 6 yrs old & a baby boy 2 yrs old & the dog did not like the 2yr old & would do whatever it took to stay away from the baby, then suddenly the dog started scratching at the babies bdrm door nightly till my SIL finally let her in the babies room & the dog jumped on the bed & lay across Jake's chest so SIL removed the dog. This went on nightly for about 2 mo till one night Jake went to bed & cried telling mommy he couldn't breath & SIL thought he was just not wanting to go to bed. The next day he had a cough & runny nose so SIL thought his breathing trouble may be from his cold so she got him out of bed on night # 2 of this & off to the ER they went. Turns out that our precious Jake had not one of the rarest but THE rarest cancer known to man & only 12 people to this date have been diagnosed with this cancer & all have passed except 1 girl & they do not know why she survived. So YES if your pup is acting strange around you or DH, Please heed the warning.

I have to agree...keep an eye out...what is not normal has some meaning even if you never actually realize what it was.

I have seen many animals, cats and dogs, do some apparently weird 'protection' behavior. I had 3 kitties build a triangular invisible 'fence' around me one night...all facing away as if they were watching out for something. I'd step out of their 'fence' and they'd adjust and build a new 'fence' keping me dead in the middle. It was so odd, I called DH from the yard on my cell and he came out of the house and watched. Then, when he got to me, he stayed out of their 'fence' and they rebuilt it around both of us. We tested this behavior for about 30 minutes together and they continued rebuilding every time we breached their invisible fence. To this day, I have no idea what they were really all about that night.

Good boy, Pnut! :D

When your Yorkie acts different, it is a warning. I absolutely belive this.
I have told family and friends to get themselves checked when their dog acted weird. My friend had skin cancer where her dog kept licking. When my mother's blood sugar was high Ruby licked her legs and whined every time. When I was was feeling bad and thought I was catching a cold, I went to bed early. Both Gracie and Rubin were obsessed with licking my face. So I went to the doctor the next day and had a serious staph infection in my tear duct, not a cold at all. My brothers Husky warned him about an earth quake. My sister's poodle woke them up when the furnace wasn't lighting, Gracie heard my neighbor yelling when he fell and broke his arm (I didn't hear him) I found him on his kitchen on the floor. Etc.....

Without getting all mushy :rolleyes: I have always believed that the better you know your animal (of any species) the better they communicate with you. A lot of people brush it off as nothing, good for you for recognizing it.

Wow that is so crazy!! It is probably driving you crazy to not know what those little angels were doing!! It is kinda driving me crazy Haha. I’m going to keep an eye out for sure, See how he treats DH in the next couple of days!!

Animals are such a blessing- I never understood how people can think different!

:eek: OMG Those animals in your story are little angels! We are so very lucky to have them on this earth

I agree!! I know he is very protective over me... and DH. The other night DH was out with his friends, DH is hardly EVER out late. Peanut is use to use both being home.. DH didn't get home until 2 in the morning! I am not use to it either so I didn't really sleep. Peanut and I were in the living room watching tv till about 11- The whole time Peanut was uncomfortable- he kept looking at the door, walking back and forth, sniffing at the door- He knew DH is usually home. I told him its ok Daddy will be back... But he didnt really relax.

We went to bed about 11. I put Pnut on the bed with him he just sat up and watched... waiting for Daddy! I feel asleep and woke up about 1:30 and Pnut was laying next to me... Finally DH came home and Peanut was so excited and went to sleep LOL

On top of that sixth sense, Yorkie's use their five senses so very well. Tibbe is the most excellent watch dog and I feel so safe that if any strange smell comes on the property or he hears a strange sound, he will alert me. I know when the mail comes from Tibbe's single little yip, even though I cannot hear the mail being put in the box myself - it's just too far away. But he hears it and smells the postman and let's me know. If he starts to growl or bark while lying on the couch in the den at the back of the house, if I am fast enough to go look, I usually see a person walking down the sidewalk either still on the property or just off it - or a group of school-age kids across the street, a man getting out of a car next door, a stray dog walking down the alley - something like that. Add that sixth sense we don't know much about, it really is a smart thing to have a Yorkie - that breed takes very little that is strange or different for granted.

I just love the Yorkie breed. This is my first dog- I am so glad to have picked a Yorkie! Peanut is the same way as Tibbie- He will hear something and bark, he will even get up and bark at the door, I will open it to show him… When I do that he will stop barking- It is always someone walking down the street or a cat walking across our lawn, something like that. We are blessed to have these little Angles watching over us. They are a perfect little combo!

I can always tell if there is a cat in the front yard - besides the loud and frenzied barking coming from the living room, I can hear his little paws digging at the glass of the floor-length window, trying to get through it!

It was interesting for sure...but I am sort of used to things like that from animals, and I know other people who have seen stuff like what others have written as well...a lady whose little doggies kept pawing at her chest until she went to the doctor and found out she had breast cancer, etc.

In Peanut's case, he may have even heard a change in the breathing sounds your DH was making...they can hear outside the range we can hear. It may have been nothing but a teensy congestion that your DH cleared by coughing, but at least now you know that Peanut is 'on the job' :D

There's no such thing as a dumb animal.

I love hearing stories like that, I really do. It is so amazing! Knowing how special animals are, I am shocked to see these people beat them and treat them so horrible! I wish people would just give them a chance! The love of an animal of any breed is so special!!

That is true, it could have been something that small. It does seem after DH coughed and got up Peanut wanted to go back in his crate LOL. Who knows, I am thankful enough to know “ Peanut is on the job”!!
