snoring!!!

Just thought id post a quick topic to compare sleeping habits! Butkis is currently on the sofa next to me, legs in the air, head hanging upside down over the edge, snoring louder than the tv!!! Anyone else got weird sleeping habits?

Sleeping habits, better write about Rocky's, usually on our bed upside down with his head on my pillow and legs in the air, bless him. Can usually find my husband doing something similar

Logan's sleeping habits are very similar to Butkus, althought lately he's chosen to go upstairs to bed without me. I still find him totally upside down with his legs in the air though haha!

Yep, Mannys the same, lies in between us, on his back, all four legs sticking up, snoring, with his fangs sticking out!! Very funny dog indeed!!!

Alfie sleeps quite normal really, he curls up into the tightest ball yet still manages to hog the bed!

The upside down sleeping thing must be a breed thing haha! Butkus fell off the sofa earlier while he was upside down, was hilarious to see his face when he got up! Im trying to train him to sleep in his bed at the moment, but hes like a toddler, crawling into bed in the middle of the night!

Sounds very normal. Suki has some strange sleep noises, she will even growl sometimes

Daisy snores so loud, I couldn't let her sleep with me everynight I'd need ear plugs!!
She is another one that sleeps upside down too and dreams a lot, twitching, legs running and even making cute little woofs sometimes!!

Moo currently has her head buried under my legs, but we still have a final wee walk to go and she always try to pretend she is asleep lol!

Butkus does all of these apart from curling uplol, I dont understand how he can be comfortable in some of these positions!

Rocky is asleep on the sofa right now, he was just having a bad dream and was about to start growling at something, he even started to turn his top lip up which I have never seen him do while sleeping before.

ah bless, one time daisy woke up from a dream all disorientated and seemed quite upset so I think that was a bad dream

Dogs do dream don't they, many is the time I have heard wuffling, snuffling - and the whimpering has made me stroke them gently to try to reassure them in their sleep. Dear little things.

The upside-down sleeping position certainly seems to be a Staffy thing; maybe that's why they dream so vividly - I always have nightmares if I sleep on my back.

I think the weird sleep habits are a Staff trait, because Zac (my old Boxer) never had any, and neither does Loki, so I'm thinking he hasn't inherited that trait from his Staff side. He curls up in a ball and sleeps like that. He sleeps stretched out on his side too, but that's only for naps, not proper sleep. He dreams sometimes too, little growls, barks, whines, licking the air, biting and moving his paws

It certainly seems to be a staffie trait, Katy is always upside down with legs akimbo not very ladylike

So glad it's not just me...

I feel quite sorry for my OH, me and Milton snoring away next to her, I'm amazed she can get to sleep at all

Vinny can snore the roof off. Roxy's favourite positions are either lying over my legs or on my tummy, or wrapped around her daddy's neck like a scarf. Vinny prefers to be belly up on the tiles.

Tyke can make some really weird noises sometimes, but his fav sleep position is on his back legs akimbo!

tyke snores, crys (which we hate) growls, runs, wimpers the lot

Knox sleeps anywhere and in any possible position - he aint fussy.

Although when in a deep sleep he's flat out growling and whining and then the tiniest little woofs - too cute

They're awesome, aren't they? Milton's taken to waking me up in the morning by patting me on the head with his paw, no chance of me sleeping through that

haha butkus is still learning that human bed is for humans, so we get woken up about 4 times a night by him nuzzling inbetween us! if only i had a paw to wake up, betterthan an alarm clock!

You may as well give in now, he'll take over your bed sooner or later

...or maybe I'm just a soft touch

I tried that once.... Alfie now owns my bed

haha yesterday i tried to sneak him in, he loves getting under the covers and sleeping between my legs, he got caught though.. lol

Alfie does too... hell literally bury himself underneath them, then about 15 mins later ill feel a little head rest on me I love it though

Milton's much more open about it, he'll just jump on the bed, give us both a lick and then flop down with his head on a pillow and start snoring

i love it too, the mrs is trying to discourage it though! but i think seeing as we outnumber her 2-1 we should win! butkus tried the whole flopping himself down, but he got in trouble, so thats why i think hes doing the sneaky undercover thing!

Otis snores quite loudly and chases stuff in his sleep his wee legs go like he is running on air and he makes weird whimpery noises too.

He is another puppy who sleeps on his back with legs in the air and at night he sleeps like a little person in middle of me and husband with his head on pillow and body under duvet or sometimes he likes to sleep wrapped around my head on the pillow and snuggles right in.

I wouldn't have it any other way I love my fur baby nighttime snuggles

Every morning I wake up to to my alarm and straight away Knox is at my side so I open the duvet, shimmy back a bit and he curls into my stomach and we sleep for another half hour. Quite often to me waking to find him flat on his back, legs in the air with his teeth poking out (he has a slight overbite) lol

The mrs is always waking me up for snoring
when it's actually skye that's doing it

Haha yes your bed is no longer urse, tyke will choose between ours and our sons haha

Betty likes to sleep like me(she thinks shes human), head on the pillow body under the blanket, snores like nothing iv heard, then she will have a 4 leg strech.....and keep her legs there.........beg hog
