My Dog
My dog is good at eavesdropping. He's tilting his head as he listens in on a conversation. Suddenly he starts to dash toward where we're talking. He would have caught on words like meat, or go outside, or eat. He's good at peeking, too. When I'm in the bathroom or in the shower, he gets caught peeking through the slit in the slightly opened door.
In the afternoon, he's taking a nap. His coat looks fluffier and softer than ever. I creep on ahead toward him. But he knew and already starts to groan as if saying "keep your hands to yourself. Do not touch me." I just backtrack. At night, he makes the rounds of visiting different rooms. He goes to bed in my parents' room at first, and then moves to my brother's room, and then to my room, the final destination. When somebody had left home for days and came back, he goes to bed in that person's room and wakes up in the morning in the same room.

Your dog seems so cute; he's certainly a big part of your family!
Mainly, the changes below are about verb tenses. You should, first of all, keep your tenses consistent. You start the writing with "is" -- so keep the rest of your verb tenses consistent to this. Also, try to avoid the passive voice. Since you are describing behavior that your dog normally does on a daily basis, keeping the active present tense makes more sense.
