We have had many scares with Penny thinking she has stopped breathing, and have had to lift he up and get her going again. She gets into such a deep sleep that nothing verbal will wake her only physically picking her up and poking at her.

LOL!! Why doesn't that surprise me?

Our 12 yo Scottie sleeps like that, except he snores. The rest are younger and I have noticed it with them. Murph has always slept like that, though, at least since he came home when he was three.

Max, Muffin and Kirby are the "dead" sleepers at our house. You can pick them up with no reaction on their part.

On the other hand, Molly and Carly can go from sound asleep to barking hysterically in a matter of seconds. Molly barks at everything and nothing so we try to ignore her (yeah, right - ignore a barking yorkie) - but if Carly is awakened barking, you'd better get up quick because there is something out there.

Of course, how Molly could sleep through her own snoring is beyond me. Man that little girl can make a lot of noise!!

I had the same concern about my dog, because she falls asleep next to me on the couch and when I tried to get up the other day she litterally slid off the couch head first, very slowly, and didn't even wake up until I picked her up and put her back on the couch and then she fell asleep again. If she hears my husband come in though, she will wake up immediately no matter how sound she is sleeping.
