I used to sleep with my dog, Sophie (she's gone, now), and miss her cuddling with me. I loved watching her chase squirrels while she was sleeping! Another great video! I'm hooked!

Such a interesting video. I've always wondered this.

my furbaby slept so deeply, she was a snorer :)

My furbaby sleeps next to me and he does snore.

Our cats sleep with us. I wonder about their dream experience.
