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!

They sleep in the weirdest positions...

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.

Funny. Looks like he was worked until he had to collapse.

lol cute picture

So cute! You'll be glad for every puppy picture you took...

I love how peaceful they look when they are sleeping.

So true! Puppyhood is so short, I cherish all my puppy photos!

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!

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


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.

HAHAHA cute!

its amazing how they change in appearance so much from puppyhood and it happens so fast!

He's getting the blood to his brain - to grow all those smart cell DS all have.

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!

hahaha, I have about 7 of those sleeping positions next to me right now... must be a DS thing
He looks nice, any awake pics of him?

Aaawww! Seven! I envy you! 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 (7 are pups and will leave us in about a week) But the pups love sleeping with their heads danglin'down from something/someone Ofcourse they also need all the blood to go their to grow their brain as fast as they can...little buggers...
