How does your dog sleep? 💤

The way that your dog sleeps can tell you how they are feeling in the moment, what sleeping positions do your dogs do?

[nnng]

all dogs to that, its more like what situation/mood they are in according to those positions

When I was 11 years old in 2007 my parents adopted a black lab from the animal shelter who was badly abused by his previous owners. We named him Jack, sadly we had to put Jack down in 2016 due to a tumor that was growing rapidly on his groin. Jack always slept in the donut position until 2009-2010 when we all had to move to a new house and my sisters and I had our own bedrooms. Between my parents' room and my room Jack was always in my room, but he would never get up on the bed. He would always lay down beside my bed facing the door in a Lion's position. The first time he did that I KNEW we had a deep connection cause he didn't do this when he was in my sisters' room. I was abused verbally, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. It got to the point where I was afraid to sleep at night cause I was afraid that one of my parents would murder me in my sleep and I think Jack sensed and understood how I was feeling. So he always stuck by my side at night, protecting me. He was MY guard dog and I miss him so much 😭😭😭 RIP Jack Jack I think of you every day

My dog Vader does all of the above! I liked hearing what you had to say about each position, very interesting. ❤😊

I've never known a dog to sleep in just one position, I think this is bullshit. Both my dogs sleep in different ways all the time

My dog: side sleeper
Also him: doesn’t want his own bed

[seang]

Whats the name of the position where the dog lays on top of you and insist on putting their frito feet directly in your face.😂

Aww my old dog that passed a couple years ago did the side sleeper position a lot <3

[TeddyHje]

My older dog changes positions all the time but my young dog usually sleep on her back

I got a puppy yesterday and the last one is what it’s doing right now

My Jack Russell is the “Lions Pose” all through the day and he’s already 13. Little guy has more energy than I do 😅🐶

This makes me happy knowing even in old age my baby boy was ready to protect me still like he was a puppy and when he died he died comfy and relaxed at least.

The side sleeper this is so true for my pup. He doesn’t like to share a bed.

[leonardobarrios]

my little fella goes trough all of them in a single nap XD

[Schleichness]

The side sleeper is my dog sunbathing but he does most of them haha

[Elizabethselby]

My lab is a cross between side sleeper, lion sleeper, and donut. She definitely wants and has her own bed...mine. She just lets me sleep in it too. She's usually at the bottom but will get under covers in winter at the bottom or sleep on her dads pillow in her side when he's gone. She loves a nap like that.

My dog is a side sleeper. He’s a clingy sleeper too though

[gotanygrapes]

My dog has been sleeping belly up forever
Edit: this is comforting

My dog I think just had a nightmare whilst in the last one and then moved to the second last one.
