That has to be tough. Buddy is the same way overall. He hears a noise, he has to go and investigate. Storms, forget about it, he's upset like Goldie. Buddy will sometimes cry when he's hungry. I feed him wet food and the schedule is very different due to his GI issues. Sometimes a couple hours early he will start with the low growl to get my attention. If that doesn't work he will lay on top of me, lol. If that doesn't work he will start to lightly cry. I've been instructed by the vet to absolutely feed him when he's hungry because his GI could be hurting a bit when he's asking for food. It's not all the time, thankfully. Good thing I work from home 80% of the time. Between the storms, noises, cries for food, my insomnia and other sleep issues it can be fairly unpredictable and driving freeways regularly is probably not a good thing.
