Doggie Disorders

IMG_5196.JPG
As most of you know, Wilson is our 5 year old lab/baby/child and we love him dearly. He has always been a special dog though with "special needs." For instance, he will not walk through the entry way to go outside without touching the carpet in the dining room with his right front paw....oh, and if the mat is not straight, you can forget it. He won't even go outside. We finally kicked him out of the bed though because I was not getting any sleep. He now sleeps in the house and we close our door. We had had no real problems, but I feel like we are terrorizing him. The past couple of days, when we open the door to go let him out, he is laying in the dining room floor instead of by our door or in his house. David put the camera up in there last night for us to see what he was doing (yes, we have camera's connected to our TV so we can watch our dog, keep your comments to yourself) and he sat and watched the front door for awhile, and then he layed down in the dining room. I know this doesn't seem weird to most people, but the dog has certain rooms in the house that he has no part of. One, use to be the dining room...it was just the quick portal to the outside...so who knows what is going on with him. I almost wonder if he would be better off if we just left him outside at night to sleep. I looked out this morning and as soon as we let him out, he was curled up asleep on his bed outside. He didn't even wake up to bark at the recycling man....I am torn...and don't know what to do. Are we terrorizing him by making him stay inside? What dog would not want to sleep inside where it is nice and comfortable? I give up....
