Dogs Dreaming?....
 

We have a Cocker Spaniel whos 8 years old. Its weird but she keeps on having dreams :rolleyes:. She will lie down and fall asleep and then all of a sudden she will start barking or growling etc in her sleep. And today she was asleep laid down and then woke up and started howling laid down . Is this normal for a dog to do this? Does your dog do this?

I find it all amusing though haha! :D:D

It is perfectly normal for a life form with a brain to dream.
Why did you think it strange?
My cat talks (miaows) in his sleep - and even snores sometimes :D

We have always had King Charles Spaniels and they always had dreams, very funny to watch..........

All dogs dream just keep out of their way if its a nightmare though:D nightmares have been known to bite:rolleyes:

They all dream and most of them do the "actions". The funniest is when they dream they're chasing something and their paws twitch like crazy, usually accompanied by muffled "woofs". :D

My 10 month old cocker does muffle type yelps when she is dreaming as well as the flickering of the paws.

Our Clio, who is a two year-old Cocker Spaniel often woofs in her sleep. When her feet start twitching we reckon that she's chasing rabbits......not that she's ever seen one!

It's a doggy thing as our Jack Russell used to do it too. Bless him.
