I just heard Buck making really weird whinney sounds. He didn't sound very happy. It was a high pitch whine grunt then whine then grunt and then he went slient. Then I heard him making rustling sounds and then a big grunt and a short woof which ended with a whine...Is he dreaming???
When he was younger he used to "run" in his sleep ( you know move his legs as he lay on his side) but never made sounds. He would stick his tongue out and he looked like he was smiling.
Lately he's been making sounds mostly the whiney kinds. Should I wake him up when he is making whiney sounds in his sleep? I didn't wake him up today. Just let him be.
Poor guy...I wish he'd have the kinds of dreams (if he is dreaming that is) he used to have where he'd "run" with a smile on his face....
Mine yelp, whimper, run, twitch, cry and bark and blow dry bubbles - pa, pa, pa, kinda like that. They also snore.................... nothing lasts for long though.
Talking of which Fanny is doing it right now. Her face is all a twitch, it was itchy today, and her legs are going.
It's kinda funny to listen to it all! Well except the wimpers and whines makes me sad...and wonder what kind of sad dreams he may be having.
Buck definitely snores in sleep and he grunts a lot.
Last night we were driving back from CT (2.5 hour drive). He sat in the back with me sprawled out in the back head on my lap and slept. Whole drive he grunted and snored and drooled and woofed. Too funny!
Sadie makes tons of sounds. I usually ignore most of them, but when she is doing the whine, fast grunting, and body twitching I will try and wake her up. She snores really loud, and she also "nurses" in her sleep. You can actually see her tounge curled up ans semi sticking out of her mouth like she is nursing...it is too cute.
When we brought Floss home we took video of her sucking in her sleep, it was really sad. It was a little heartbreaking when she found my daughter's soother and sucked on it off and on. She's 12 weeks now and I hear the occasional snore and weird dream. She still likes the soother. :-\
Emma does...she makes lots of them. Sometimes I will wake her. If she sounds distressed I will pat her until she stops. And Aidan makes little sucking noises. Dreaming of Libby, I'm sure.
aww poor little Floss and Aiden.
I remember Buck sucking on a little blankie he had when he was 8-10 weeks old. After that i had to take it away because he decided he'd try to rip it
Clarence makes all sorts of noises while sleeping too. I'll only wake him up if he's twitching a lot or making really loud whining noises. He looks at me like, "Why'd you wake me up? I was just about to catch the squirrel!" It's so cute when he nurses in his sleep, with just the tip of his pink tongue sticking out.
No I wouldn't wake him up though... I have heard dogs snapping at owners when they are awoken from a dead sleep because they aren't awake and it's instinct from being disturbed mid-dream. "let sleeping dogs lie"
Emma dreams at least once a day! Sometimes she's running, sometimes she thump her tail and make sucking noises... But most of the time she make some weired barking noises, growl and her whole body moves! ;D That's so cute and I will try to tape it sometime!
All the time. This morning Oona started wagging her tail really hard, I thought for sure it would wake her up but it didn't. The best or worst is when she starts this low gutteral howl. That will raise the hair on the back of your neck at 2 in the morning.
Olie
Duke does this too, I will usually say "good boy dukie" to him softly until he stops whinning. And then his tail starts thumping and he's awake. He always goes right back to sleep. ;D
I think what you are describing is called REM...Rapid Eye Movement. In plain English that means a deep sleep. Most dogs do this. Mine do and it always makes me laugh...sometimes they howl like a wolf. This is one of the reasons they don't sleep on the bed!
Rascal makes noises too while sleeping. He will twitch in his sleep also. The first time he was doing the "nursing" in his sleep I thought he was having a seizure or something because his tongue came out a bit. FREAKED me out!! I woke him up and later asked a friend of mine who has dogs, she said hers does the same thing. Makes me sad though when he starts to "cry" in his sleep. I just wanna go over and cuddle with him to let him know his ma'ma is there and everything is alright.
