MAXIMUS does all kinds of noises and movements. He's four and a half. Most of the time it's just cute, even amusing. The only time I interfere with his dreaming, is when he has the really scared crying thing. I just
softly rub his head and back and say, "it's ok." I always try NOT to wake him. Like humans, they need their
REM sleep. I think it's cute too. He's even done the ugly bark with the mean fur also. I rub him gently then too.
It seems to sooth him. I imagine they also have nightmares as we do.
