omg that scared me!

[dab_20]

my new 9 week old puppy just came home with me on saturday. when he takes naps he always makes suckling noises, so i assume he is dreaming about his mom. well just like 5 minutes ago he was making those suckling noises but them he started whining and started, like, twitching. i started petting him cuz it was kinda scaring me and he jumped up and barked/yelped. boy, did that scare me!!!

has this ever happened to anyones dog? was he just having a nightmare?

[jackie]

He is just dreaming that he is chasing something. All dogs do it, I think its pretty cute!

[dab_20]

molli does that sometimes, but she doesnt make as much noise. lol, when he suckles, do you think he is dreaming about him mom? its cute when he does that. i love my baby boy (and of course my little girl!)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

That happens to Tango sometimes, when she does that she starts shaking though like shes terrified of something so I wake her up aswell...

[buttercup132]

my dog dose it all the time all i do is say wake up and she stops its kinda cute tho

[dogzr#1]

All my dogs dream like that. They whine and wimper and twitch. I guess they are dreaming that they see a big juicy steak but it keeps going farther away so they start to run but they can't catch it so they start to whine.

lol maybe

DOn't pet your dog though while she is doing that, She is in a deep sleep and if you do pet her and she does wake up she can have a heart attack. Its like waking a human up from sleep walking

[dab_20]

weirrd. i didnt know that. so a puppy can have a heart attack just from that? hmm, interesting.

Pardon me for butting in, but deep sleep is just Stage 3 & 4 of your sleep cycle. It does the body no harm (other than feeling a bit more tired) to be woken up during these two stages. Our REM cycles only go during Stage 3 & 4 (deep sleep) which cause us to dream, but we cycle throughout our sleep cycle 4-6 times a night. It does NO harm to be woken up during this time. Think about it - you're alarm wakes you up in the morning, correct? How does it know if you're in deep sleep or not? It doesn't. It just goes off and you wake up. Sometimes you feel more tired because you were in deep sleep, but that's it.

I've never heard of what you're talking about. Just because her dog was dreaming and she woke him up, that could cause him to have a heart attack? I don't believe that's true either simply because it's just dreaming. There's nothing *REAL* about it. If I was sleeping around someone and they saw me twitching and making noises, I'd hope they'd wake me up so I'd stop dreaming like that. Also, sleep walking is just "reenacting" what we are dreaming about.

I'll go research this a bit and talk a bit more with my Psychology teacher.

(sorry for the hijack)


I've never really seen Daisy do this because when she's out, buddy she's out! LOL I'm glad your puppy was all and well though, hehe.

I never heard of the heart attak thing either.

i do know if that if you startlel a dog when its sound asleep... that biteing is sometimes an automatic instint to protect itself.

just like when my parents or brother wake me up when im sound asleep.
they touch my arm or start talking to me... like "yo wake up" LOL and it scares the crap out of me.. and i JERK awake.

one time my mom almost got decked in the face because i was having a nightmare....

lol. oh and by the way, sammy got his fist check up, shots, and deworming today. totally healthy! and he doesnt get drowsy, and moody like molli does when she gets her shots. yay
