Camera Critters #86,Pet Pride, Sleeping Puppy

Dogs with good hip joints are able to sleep with their hind legs stretched behind them. Many of our dogs have been able to do this but we've never before seen any of them cross their paws at the same time! Sleeping with the tip of the tongue poking out is very common. Dreaming of earlier times at the milk bar, maybe?
Gus is 12 weeks old today and has had all his vaccinations. In another week we will be introducing him to some of our favourite walks. What fun!

Thanks are due to Misty Dawn for Camera Critters and Bozo and his human for Pet Pride.

  8. Ohmygosh, those darling toes (bet they smell like Fritos) and that sweet, pink tongue. How in the world can you let that pup sleep☺ I'd be mauling it all the time.

  18. There's nothing cuter than a sleeping puppy!

    As I type this, there's a little, diddy one snoozing on my husband's warm belly! More of that later.

  19. That is so cute! Love his expression. One of our grandkitties does that with his back legs but never seen them crossed like that!

  20. Gus is adorable! it doesn't get much cuter than when animals stick their little tongues out when the sleep! does he snore too?

    ReplyDelete
  21. johnny - yes he does! It can get very noisy in our bedroom with four dogs, two cats and a husband snoring. Naturally, I don't snore ;-)
    Jeanne, Gennasus, Wren - thank you! He is very sweet but showing already that he will need a firm but kind hand!
    Sue - I have been thinking about you and Pansy such a lot. I may just uncross my fingers a little now!
