Tired

I'm so tired this morning. And I imagine Sean is too. He didn't know he was going to be kept up when he turned in at around 11:30 last night. 

Radar wouldn't be quiet, he was begging from his spot in the kitchen and the noise was just enough to keep Sean awake. After trying what he knows to make the dog quit he comes to me. I was asleep for a short while by that time so I don't really know what to think and figure the dog just wants to relieve himself outside - so I put him out and wait. He just stands there for what seemed like forever. I urged him to go and he usually does what I say but he just stood there and then layed down! Whatha?! It's freezing out there, "come!" Nope, he wasn't gonna do that either, I had to put the leash on him and tug it to make him get back in the house. 

This is so wierd for him not to obey, I know he's sick and that could be resulting in wierd behaviors but usually he obeys if he can. And he could have because once the leash was on him he got right up and walked into the house. I told him to "down" on his pillow, "stay". I went back to bed but within the next half hour Sean was back to tell me he was at it again.

My only idea was to toss his pillow out on the deck and let him be out there all night. Of course I kept one ear on the back yard, I kept waking up wondering if he was making any noise out there. He's never slept all night outdoors, and it seems like it wouldn't be comfortable at all - it's in the *30's out there!

I checked on him when I got up at 5:30 he was awake, he looked at me but wasn't interested in coming in. WIERD!! What do I do? He's sick, his heart is not beating right according to the vet, what would he say if I told him the dog wants to sleep outside? I feel stupid to call about this but I don't want another night like last night.
