My Princess does that with her back legs. Sometimes I swear I got kicked by a bull! (she is part pit....)
That is her wake up call to me I guess, telling me I am taking up too much room on her queen size bed! I am seriously thinking about moving into her donut bed on the floor that she has never slept one night in!
Our 2 Goldens due the same. Dylan, the younger of the two, will bark and really get into the "chase". Sometimes I do wake them up....it's comparable to DH's snoring
I wonder if in their dreams they are chasing and playing with each other, or thinking of different dogs they have seen (or sniffed) along the way.
Check out YouTube for hundreds of great vids on dogs sleeping...hilarious!
My Lab/mix is a sweetheart in everyway. First dog I ever let sleep on the bed. She goes to sleep at the foot of the bed and when I wake up in the morning she is at the head of the bed staring at me with those big brown eyes. I hear her whimper and feel her legs moving at times during the night.
I always ask her if she caught the rabbit, or the stick, or had a good time running around the yard.
She just wags her tail and licks my face.
I wont interrupt her dreams.
If you have no prob waking them when they go into unconscious kungfu mode ( is what I call it when my g.shep starts kicking) then it's most likely nothing to worry about. Just pay attention to any potential obstacles that your furry children may accidentally Kick and injure themselves on and be sure to move them out of the way so that they may breakdance in peace. Cheers y'all!
It is in the SWS stage that a dog breathes heavily while he is sleeping. Animal experts theorize that dogs dream during the REM stage and act on their dreams by twitching or moving all four paws as if they were chasing a rabbit.
It is completely okay.
