It could be that they are just lonely. Also possible that there is a sound at a pitch that only they can hear and it is giving them pain or discomfort.

Quote:-

"Fish gotta swim. Birds gotta fly. Dogs gotta bark. In fact, they like to bark. David Appleby, a pet behavior counselor in Worcestershire, England, states that dogs can communicate by using ten different types of sound, ranging from whimpering to growling and that by varying the tone of those sounds, they can convey no less than 39 different meanings. They bark to say "hello", they bark when they want something, when they are having fun, when they are scared, frustrated or defensive and sometimes when they are just plain bored. But excessive barking makes life difficult for the dog's human family and any neighbors within "woofing" distance."

It is because of the high frequency sound produced by the earth as it rotates past the furthest point from the sun when it has to decelerate and accelerate to start moving towards the sun.

The opposite occur with humans at midday, not able to howl they get extremely hungry.

Now you know why we eat lunch at lunchtime.

I'll tell you the reason why –

God one day said to all animals that they can give a petition on any disability/disadvantage they feel He needs to remove so, all the animals got together and decided to nominate one from within their ranks to take the message to God.

Each animal wrote as:

The Giraffe – long neck a problem and neck pain.

The Baboon – Red arse heats up sitting on hot stone boulders.

The Elephant – long trunk-nose gets in way…and so on….

The dog-committee too decided that they too, should send a message as:

Tail not straight-aches being curled up.

Now God was on the other side of a river.

The Giraffe took their message in its mouth with head sticking up the water crossed over.

The Elephant took their message in its trunk sticking up the water crossed over.

The dogs had a problem – If it takes anything in its mouth and cross the river their mouth would open as a habit of their tongue constantly hanging out and- they will lose the message.

So the committee decided to put it in a small pipe and shove it up the arse which is tight (that it stays shut even when the have sex and gets locked)plus water-proof since no water can get in.

Excellent idea and thus it was adopted and one dog happily went across.

Now days converted to years and…hundred and thousand of years yet they are still AWAITING FOR A REPLY. This is why they sniff the arse of each dog . Sniff is what we think! Actually they are looking in the arse to see and ask"ASK THE MESSAGE ARRIVED" and when they don't find all day till midnight they get together and

HOWL THEIR ARSES OFF ALL NIGHT " RATS TOMORROW AGAIN".

Now you know why they howl and got your answer . Please go back to sleep.

Actually, the dogs bark at midnight because there is an event at midnight. Perhaps a neighbor returns home from work at midnight each night, and this alerts the dogs.

If a door opens by itself, don't look for a ghost, look for an open window.

Never, as there are no such things as ghosts. Actually, there are no such things as gremlins, therefore, you are a figment of your own imagination!
