We seem to have lots of critters as well. And yeah, I think at first there really was something out there cause he was doing his deep, aggressive bark by the door, but I checked every time, nothing after the chickens. Then later I think he had to potty and barked for like half hour, hour straight till I finally let him out. He did have to go and held it but he was so annoying. It was like 2 or 3 hours. Every time I went back upstairs or back in bed he'd start. Finally just stayed up cause I couldn't sleep anyway, got pain/IBS from the stress lol
This was like 5 to 7 or 8. Took him out front on leash to pee at 5, didn't want him barking, out back at 7 to poop, again, thought he was just being needy plus didn't want to let him out too early.
He will sometimes just lay there on the floor or couch and bark at nothing though. So annoying.
Surprisingly my brother slept through all of this and rolled out of bed around 10:30 and was like "wow you're up early" LOL
I don't get it. Dog barking 2 hours straight (well off and in but basically straight), me going up and down stairs 5 million times, bathroom door opening and closing a bunch (closing so AC wouldn't go in), downstairs doors opening and closing, etc. But he did have 2 fans going lol one in the room, one in hall.
