How can this be comfortable?

Post by Isis »

This is one of Panzer's favorite sleeping positions! He loves to sleep with his head hanging off the side of something...dog bed, crate, sofa, etc...
He's such a funny dog!Image

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Good think My coffee is down, thats a spit out my coffee pose! How Funny!!! My parents basset does the same thing, her head is always hanging off of their bed. I wonder if puppies are like babies, when the babies fall asleep, their brain shuts off.

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger.

Funny. Looks like he was worked until he had to collapse.
Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

Hahaha...I agree...they grow up so fast! Panzer is 4.5 months old now and has grown and changed before my eyes! I wish I had more photos of him when he was really little! Image

Here is another one of him from today in his favorite sleeping position.. :lol:
Image

Today he discovered that he can jump in my backyard fountains, which are just wine barrels cut in half with trickling water from a spout...he was having so much fun! I think I have a water dog! His sire has a Dock Diving title, maybe it runs in his blood? lol

I love the way he sleeps. If you look close enough, you can see that his eyes are open while he is sleeping. I call it "eyes wide shut" lol.

Yeah! The only other time he looks so calm and peaceful is when he is sitting in his spot (which is the corner closest to me) when I am preparing his food. He has the sweetest intent look on his face when he is waiting for his dinner....I love his beady brown eyes! :dslook:

Aaawww! Seven! I envy you! :D I am so enamoured with Dutch Shepherds now that I own one, I could see myself owning more than one some day! I don't have any good recent pics of him awake, he moves too fast, lol! But, I have a video of him and my GSD down at my local park...he isn't doing anything exciting, but it shows him awake at least! lol Oh, and he is familiar and friendly with the Golden Retriever "Gus" in the video, just so you know I don't let him run up on any strange dog down at the park!! God forbid!

I "own" 9 at this moment :D (7 are pups and will leave us in about a week) But the pups love sleeping with their heads danglin'down from something/someone :lol: Ofcourse they also need all the blood to go their to grow their brain as fast as they can...little buggers... :lol:
