awwww. That's some seriouso sleep ... running though. My dog jerks her legs a bit, and sometimes whimpers in her sleep - just like my husband. But I just pet both of them gently, and they soon settle down. :)
My cat has developed a habit of sleeping so soundly he turns to liquid fur and ..slides.. ever so slowly... further and further toward the edge of whatever thing he is perched on top of. A few times he's landed on the floor with a big thump! Poor thing!
Never seen anything like that before in dogs, that's crazy.
My neuroscientist friend explained once that they done EEGs or MRIs or something of dreaming cats and found that when the sleep twitches start, it's the hunting part of the brain that's stimulated. So they're dreaming about catching little mousies and stuff!
Oh, and that poor dog made me laugh out-loud-like.
I laughed so loudly all my co-workers had to see what it was. Then they all laughed, too, and more co-workers clustered to watch. But I feel sad for the poor doggie. Sore head and confusion!
I feel sorry for him. Those dreams seem troubling - he looks like he's fighting, and in the barking one he has his hackles raised. I wonder why his dreams are so tortorous. I hope his owner is sweet.
