Rolex
very often sleeps on his back, as well, exposing the "family jewels" for all to
see <VBG>! If you rub his chest, he just loves it. Actually, very few of
my other guys do sleep on their back.
How
many of you have dogs that bowl carriers - several of mine, including my German
Shepherd puppy (and I know Gina's Haus) love to carry stainless steel dishes
around.
Rolex's uncle, JR, used to carry a 5 quart stainless
steel bucket, often full of water!, around. He and his kennel mate were always
out of water :)
Sleeping habits of the Sidecar crew:
Boomer,
who is a Rolex son and as decidedly handsome as his dad in my not so humble
agreement with Judy, has just begun, at 7 months, to sleep on his back spread
to the world. (what a run-on sentence THAT was, lol)
He is normally
more often (98% of the time) found in a complete 'frog dog' position with back
legs flat and straight behind him and front legs flat and straight before him
with his head resting on his front legs. In a very deep sleep he would rather
be on his side under my chair and resting on my coat which trails to the
floor.
Rosie sleeps on her side when loose and curled like a husky when
crated.
Sophie is much like Linda's Princess Iris... never on her back
unless she's being adored and whispered at. At one time, prior to her HD
diagnosis, she very much slept and rested in the 'frog dog'
position.
Boomer also refuses to curl up in his crate for longer than a
couple of hours. At that point he insists that you wake up, open the crate
door, and then he makes a huge procedure of stretching fully out with his head
hanging over the lip and stays there all night. Put him in a 500 crate
and he does the same thing.
Likely way more info than you wanted, lol.
I'm babbling this morning.

Reporting in on sleeping habits of the Chezor gang
:-)
Angel (out of Rush Hill pedigrees) does the spread-eagle, 'dead
to
the world' sleep. In fact, we can put her legs together, truss
them
with our hands, and carry her to her bed without her waking
up.
Saying she sleeps with total abandon is an
understatement.
Iris (Princess of Perfection) wouldn't be caught dead
in such an
immodest pose unless she's having her tummy rubbed and
cooed
into her ear by her favorite men (Perry and George)
<lol>

Ok, I am trying to find out if
this is a family trait or what, but Hunter sleeps on his back spread eagle
when he is in a deep sleep. It is quite funny and I would like to
know if any of your dogs do the same.
