| How much sleep do puppies need? I am just curious as to how much sleep an older puppy needs during the day. Penny seems to play hard and then sleep a lot. Is this normal? There are some days when she will sleep for most of the day? Does this mean she is growing? For the most part she has a TON of energy and darts all around the house for things to play with and then crashes. She's 8 months old. |

| That is my favorite part about puppies- they play hard and crash hard Sounds normal to me! Layla will still have days- for example on Monday- was a COMPLETE nut- hardly napped, just wanted to play play play- today- played once outside- had to drag her on a walk- but was "making up" for yesterday and slept most of the day today. Like Patti said, as long as she is alert and engaging when she is awake- sounds like a normal puppy Enjoy her! |
