| Does your dog sleep like a dead chicken?
I think this is pretty normal for a lot of dog owners but this was literally the first time I've ever seen Nia fall asleep like this.
I think this pic was from like 2 months ago but I just remembered to post it!
And it happened again yesterday! She slept belly up!  |

Nia is so cute! Ruby has never fallen asleep like that, she is either stretched out on her stomach or curled into a tiny little ball. | |

LoL! Nia is so cute sleeping like a dead chicken 
My dogs pretty much curl up when settling in for the nite, but will roll over on their backs to sleep belly up when napping some times during the day.
That's a very vulnerable position, so you know they gotta feel pretty comfy in their surroundings to sleep like that. | |

Thanks everyone!
For some reasons she slept like that...on the guest bed!  Thank goodness it's only my grandparents using it otherwise I can't explain all the dog hair to my guests hehe.
When she stretches with her front feet all the way towards her back legs, she looks like a chicken roast LOL | |

In the greyhound world we would call that a "roach" It is like a dead roach laying on it's back! | |

I don't think mine has ever slept like that. She usually sleeps curled into a ball or on her side. Probably because she sleeps in the bed with me though.
Nia is very cute . | |

Hee, hee...I've only caught Brenna sleeping like that a couple of times...I think she usually only does it at night in her crate. But shortly after we brought her home, I got this pick of her in the office. This was when I knew she was really starting to settle in and relax!  | |

My Lupa does that, only usually she's got half of her body on top of me while she's doing it...She likes to sleep close in the morning, lol. | |
