Crazy dog?

The last few days my dog Pepper has been acting odd.  She has been staring at the wall like there is something on it.  She will even jump on the wall like she is trying to get something.  She has done it in three different locations of the house.  Of course it always happens in the middle of the night.  She can't pull this crap during the day.  I have never found anything, but it makes me wonder what she sees or hears to be acting so nuts.  Last week I found a scorpion on the wall in my kitchen.  I have been freaked out since.  One night there was a huge rat on my patio.  After those two incidents, I am petrified about what could be lurking in my house driving Pepper crazy.  Rowdy doesn't seem to be too concerned about whatever it could be so I am hoping Pepper is just nutty.  I have to think that otherwise I would lie awake at night wondering what is crawling in the walls of my house.  Let's just say I am not all that thrilled with the insects and rodents of South Texas.

  1. Oh, yuck! The same thing's happening here, too. Well, maybe it's not quite so dramatic here, but now that it's warming up outside all the creepy-crawlies are coming back. It freaks me out!

  3. YIKES! No thank you to both pests! Maybe your dog is shooing off any creepy crawlies while you're trying to sleep??
    Shortly after we moved we discovered a brown widow had made its home on the underside of our grill. Recently I've had a few tiny little lizards make their way into my kitchen. The lizard I can (sort of) handle. The brown widow, not so much.

  4. Yikes, scorpions are not fun to deal with at all! Are there river rocks outside anywhere? They say that scorpions like the moisture under those and they will get inside your house.

  5. Ha! How old is Pepper? Maybe her hearing is slipping and it's scaring her! But yuck... I would FREAK if I saw a scorpion!

    1. Pepper is 4 so still pretty young.

      I am still freaked out about the scorpion. I check every shoe before wearing it, and every bed before someone climbs in it.

  6. Eek! My cat will just stare at the wall sometimes. Freaks me out. I assume it's a ghost.
