Sleeping positions... Level: Expert

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

Dogs are experts at sleeping in a variety of different positions... Luna has matured out of puppyhood and has mastered the ability to sleep in almost any position!

I decided it would be fun to name some of the most common sleeping positions (Instead of doing household chores I told myself I'd do this morning!)  

Anyone have more pictures or suggestions for other positions? :)

The Lookout

Sleeping on a raised surface (couch or bed) with the head hanging off the end for maximum visibility.

The Tripping Hazard

In the middle of the stairs (for similar reasons to the Lookout) with paws draped all over, making going up or down the stairs a dangerous proposition.

The Foxball

For maximum comfort, paws are tucked up so they can be used as pillows while the tail warms the nose

The Forced Cuddle

After a human is comfortably situated, dog inserts itself in an awkward place and immediately looks extremely comfortable while the human's comfort is compromised.

The Sleeping Buddy

A toy or other favorite object (or sibling) is tucked under the paw or chin to alleviate loneliness.

The Wedge

Head wedged under, inside or on top of something that looks really awkward.

The Giant Pancake

Flat as a pancake, stretched out to take up as much room as possible.

and of course....

The Doodle Pose

All four paws in the air, head either hanging off something or completely upside down.

J, these are perfect examples of the doodle sleeping positions. Luna looks like she can make herself comfortable anywhere.

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

These are great. Soon you will have a few more to add:

Doodle taking care of human sibling

And doodle keeping watch outside nursery:

Peri is never far from her Charlotte :)

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

Peri is an expert baby wrangler by now I bet :)  Cute!

[Marnie, Stanlee's Mom]

How SWEET!!!

[Renu & Theo]

Theo's favorite sleep positions Frogee and all paws up

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

Aw, I miss the frog pose.  Luna can't do it anymore, but she used to like that one too!

[Carol and Banjo]

OMD......this is so darned cute!    Luna, you've a master of them all!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

These are accurate and very cute. Luna is such a cutie!

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Darling photos - each and every one.  Thanks

This is so my Jessie! Hilarious! She is a Wedge and Doodle pose sleeper to no end. She also has a crazy yoga position sleeps in that I call "Sleeping Like The Dead - Dog". She looks like she is totally disjointed or something. I have attached a few of her pictures. Love my crazy girl!

[Marnie, Stanlee's Mom]

How does she twist herself that way?

[Lori Rietze]

I have no idea. She gets herself into some crazy positions. I think she practicing her contortionist skills...
