I have Posted a few pics of Ray sleeping, simply because I find his sleeping positions interesting. I have to believe that they are comfortable positions otherwise he wouldn’t be asleep…. would he?
He started off the new year, in typical Ray style, by giving us a little challenge. Which leg comes from where?
If nothing else, it makes me realize how flexible I am not!
A New Direction Perhaps? 
I think I get the best pictures of Cino when she is sleeping. 🙂

Well at least if you can catch them (or Ray!) between grunts, twitches and other general dream triggered activities… then the subject should be quite still for a good picture! 🙂

I hate that twitching stuff. It always freaks me out when Cino does that.

I know that feeling. Ray will often go through a brief spell of frantic twitching… and then nothing. No movement.. no breathing… motionless, and then he’ll take a deep breath and all is well again. It’s scary!

The most photogenic dog, in any position! Love that back paw across his face, too cute. Pleasant doggie dreams for sure! Thank-you, we always love seeing Ray. Smeary kiss on Ray’s nose from Benjamin.

I love it when their legs looks like this! Too adorable (not to mention incredibly flexible).

I am almost (stress almost) tempted to shout out “GREENIE!”, because he would probably get tangled up in his own legs and fall off the chair! 🙂

That is a flexible dog! I’m always amazed when I see dogs sleeping peacefully in what looks like a very uncomfortable position. But I guess it’s not uncomfortable for them.

Logically, they must like positions like that otherwise … why? Perhaps he has a wonderful sense of peace and security, for him to get into that position. When he is not so relaxed, he always has his back paws under him, presumably for an instant leaping up if necessary.

Too funny!! That reminds me of my mom’s cat. It used to have the funniest position while sleeping.

It’s amazing how these big guys can get all curled up and twisted around in their effort to get as comfy cozy as possible. On the other hand I have seen Kali contort herself in the oddest and seemingly uncomfortable ways just to be near me if the space was only meant for one. The best thing about this is that they have no ego; no consideration or care of how it looks. Can you imagine falling asleep on a train or subway without care of ho you looked. Me for one am not comfortable getting comfortable for fear of drooling and a picture of an old fart taken by a stranger going viral on social media. 😬

Our dog laid in the most unnatural ways also. It almost defies the possible. Ray is a handsome fellow

Being such a good looking dog was a major problem initially. Imagine 75lbs of German Shepherd/Rotti who really did not like to be touched, and was generally afraid of people, being approached by strangers – “Oh……. what a gorgeous dog!” We had a lot of challenges! 🙂

HI Dorinda, and as an afterthought… his front paws are not crossed. Rather his front left paw is crossed over his back left paw!

There have been a few thoughts about the comfort level… but it was his choice, so presumably it is comfortable (and he did go to sleep!).

I shall tell him, but he brightens many days as we take him on his walks. We always notice the smiles on faces when they see him, and our comment to each other is “Look… he made yet another person smile!” 🙂
