It's not the best quality, but here's Odin ready to go back to sleep in the morning.

well, obviously the caffeine wore off ! Stephanie, when i saw you had posted, i could not wait to see your caffeine addict at nap time.
on a more serious note, it always amazes me how these high energy dogs wake up as slowly as i do - always ready to go back to sleep for a while in the morning. [ and then, finally, the usual take-no-prisoners play between/among them is so slow-motion, gentle, and joyful in the early hours of waking. ]

He sleeps with his eyes open sometimes. I'll try to get a picture this week. He gets all twitchy and then you'll really start thinking he's an addict.

I always wonder what they dream about. Then again, I'm sure I don't want to know.

I was looking through some of my old pics, and came across this one of our first litter. The pups I think were around 6ish weeks, and we had been playing before they all just crashed in a circle lol. They are still deceivingly cute here.

OMG - LOL at the puppy sleeping circle and the last one standing, ''HEY!, what happened guys?''

Stephanie, my TexXander has recently been reminding me of Odin - just a bit less caffeinated. but he also mostly sleeps with his eyes open and often twitches.
Kevin, Tracedog was the most extreme dreamer I have had. he seemed to have many vivid dreams - and most of the time seemed to be having a great time. sometimes - sleeping on his side - his legs would be running [his whole body a couple times in full gallop !] and he would be barking. i was always surprised he did not wake himself up. a few times i woke him up when he seemed to be having a nightmare.

That picture is too stinking cute!!!

Megan Bays - the picture is ADORABLE. the caption that comes to mind is "hunger games winner"

Johnny, You are so right, for high energy super aware dogs, they take forever to wake up. Sadie always passes out and wakes up all groggy and it takes a while for her eyes to come back around. Thalie , though, rarley sleeps during the day, but when she does, legs are going, barking, tail wagging the works. Sadie dosnt dream much, or if she does, her body dosnt move very much.

Megan - That is the cutest picture !!!!

I'd imagine Megan's picture is what Sadie's litter looked like. Everyone is passed out from the Sadie farts with her just standing in the middle wondering what happened.
