Does your dog dream?

Rosie has had dreams since she was a puppy. Back then her closed eyes would move and she'd whimper little baby puppy noises. Missing her mom and littermates, I figured. Awwwww She's ten years old now and over the years we've heard some pretty strange soundtracks to the various videos inside her head. One night last week topped them all. We were sound asleep while Rosie was obviously"watching" a horror flick. She started screaming and howling bloody murder. Darcy, on the other side of our bed, simultaneously decided that if something was that BAD she'd howl in terror, too! We woke up with a start and Bud went running down the hall to see if somebody had left the dog door open and a pack of coyotes had gotten into the house. Rosie just yawned like, "What's all the fuss about?" Darned drama queen. :E

  • Just the other day Abby was sleeping in the hall and started making whining noises. Then her tail started wagging like crazy! Agnes
  • My Brittany, who is 13, dreams all the time. Almost every night. His movements are quite strong, almost alarming, sometimes. He's done that all his life

    The 2-yo Shih Tzu hardly ever dreams. Only a couple of times that I remember. And yes, he barks/whines/whimpers sometimes when the other dog is "running" and twitching and woofing during a dream.
  • Yoop! ... all 4 of 'em dream now on a regular basis...even Carlos who always slept with 1 eye half open.

    The vet says when they start dreaming they've finally found their forever home.

    Sweet dreams...
