The Heavy Breathing In The Middle Of The Night

[Wolfiesmom]

Hubby has just been promoted to Lieutenant. The bad part of the promotion is that he is low man on the totem pole, which he hasn't been for a long time, so he gets the midnight shift for a while. Last night, I wake up with a start at 3 am. I am hearing very heavy breathing that sounds like it is coming from the master bath area. It's very scary sounding. I am panicking because I can't figure how this person got by Wolfie, who sleeps in the hallway, without waking me or my son in the other room up. I put the light on. Obviously, no one is in the room, and the breathing suddenly stops. I shut the light off, after walking around the room, the bathroom and the closet. Figuring it was a dream, I settle back in bed, and 5 minutes later, the breathing starts again. It isn't the rhythmical breathing of sleep and not snoring, either. It's like a lecherous heavy breather on the phone, and it's loud. This time, I walk around in the dark, and finally pinpoint the cause. Wolfie has his nose wedged under the corner of the bedroom door, and he's sniffing, just one sniff and then a pause, then another sniff. The way his nose was positioned, it was making the sound magnify in the room. I had to text Hubby at work, and tell him and we had a good laugh over it. Silly dog!

LOL! My lab does that to me all the time. When I worked at a dog daycare and would leave him out in the group, he would literally move from door to door as I walked the facility, following my scent and sniiffing loudly. Everyone would joke about my creepy stalker.
