This one belongs in the ever-expanding "odd and awkward sleeping positions" file. That's Dexter, who has recently been sleeping more often like this with his head turned completely backwards. We can't figure out how that could possibly be comfortable, or how he doesn't wake up with his neck stiff as a board, but sleep like this he does. As we say around here when seeing these sorts of inexplicable things, "If it works for them, it works for them." So far we haven't seen anyone else duplicate this particular position. Under the blanket next to Dexter is Wilbur the Chihuahua, who prefers more conventional sleeping positions.

That is odd indeed and looks very uncomfortable. And it’s good to see Wilbur again, if only a glimpse of his tiny butt and tail. Cozy, happy dogs always make for a good photo.

Funny..you should see some of the positions Timmy sleeps in!! I am amazed he can sleep like that. I know I would wake up stiff and sore sleeping like that!

Hmmm, kinda hard to tell what position Wilbur is in…other than “under”. Cute.

My doxies sleep in the weirdest positions. I look at them and think “that CANNOT be comfortable”… and I move them. And then they move back. Who can figure? I’m still trying to figure out why, even when the house is really hot, the doxies have to be completely covered in their blankies. I’m panting just looking at them!

Dexter could sleep around the corner of a wall in that position. 🙂

Bless our little Dexter! 🙂 I too am surprised he’s not under the covers. One of mine crawls between the pillow case and the pillow for her naps.

As soon as I saw how Dexter was sleeping, I busted out laughing. One of my dogs (who is much larger) sleeps in even stranger positions than that. I’ve always called her my contortionist dog. Some of the positions she sleeps in look painful to me, but she’s happy as a clam sleeping that way! Guess Dexter is the same way 🙂

What a cute tail Wilbur has! And yes, that’s an odd position, Dexter. It’s hard to explain these things sometimes. My dog kicks away any soft bedding we provide and stretches out on the hard floor.

It certainly doesn’t look comfortable, but it is a very sweet picture. Sweet dreams Dexter and Wilbur……
