Yes, this is normal. Dogs need a lot more sleep than people, and cats need more sleep than dogs. In fact, cats can sleep 20 hrs/day! Working dogs (i.e. seeing eye dogs) need more sleep than their people do, so a friend of mine with one takes his harness off at the office so he sleeps while she works. She doesn't need him at the office since she knows her way around. It is very hard work being a seeing eye dog, so they try to retire them kind of early.... |
