Do your dogs bark in their sleep?

[Critters2]

The beagle is doing that right now. So cute.

[Blue-Jay]

1. Only if she hears a doorbell on TV.

[Critters2]

3. Hmm...maybe she's dreaming about a doorbell.

Never thought of that.

2. Bailey eats in his sleep

[Critters2]

4. Is Bailey a beagle? nt

[XemaSab]

9. Springer/golden

He's jowly though, and howls a lot.

[Kali]

5. nah, they mostly bark

in my sleep at air, I think.

[hedgehog]

8. Same here!

Yesterday they were standing on the side porch barking away and growling at something, but I could see nothing. Do you suppose they were having me on?

[BrotherBuzz]

6. My girl mostly runs in her sleep

I'm not sure if she is rounding up stray sheep or herding cats, but she sure enjoys her dreams.

[Lil Missy]

7. Mine used to wake and give a yip, but then settle down . I swear he could hear a squirrel poop.

He's deaf now, so it doesn't happen anymore.

10. i have no problem with barking in their sleep...

or twitching their legs...

my little jack russell, sunshine, would open up his eyes and stare at me. like he wasn't even asleep. but he was.

THAT freaked me out...


*shivers*

[dysfunctional press]

11. runs, barks, whines...i suppose it depends on what's happening in their dreams.

having pets helps you realize that people aren't all that special, intellect-wise.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Not really. She does do a pseudo-barking, some whining,

and she also runs in her sleep.

Oh, and she snores. Once she snored so loudly she woke me up. I thought it was MrSG!

[Not_Giving_Up]

13. My cats meow in their sleep and chase things

It's adorable, their paws and nose get all twitchy.

[Orsino]

14. Yeah.

I'm guessing that dog dreams go faster than real time, as with people. I can see my dogs' paws twitch, presumably as they run in their dreams, and the little barks are barely vocalized, coming out as "Bloop"!

[SallyMander]

15. Simon wags his tail in his sleep!

I'd never seen a dog do that before we got him.

And yup, they both bark in their sleep... but it's not full-volume, it's sort of a muffled "woof."
