Katie has a soft squeaky bone that she does the same thing with. She gets it in her mouth and wraps her paws around it and she will drift off to sleep with her little head bobbing off to the side and she will catch herself and do that about 3 or 4 times and then finally go to sleep. Come to think of it she hasn't done it since she had her pups but used to do it a lot. I think it is a comfort thing, but possibly has something to do with early weaning? Her mommy got mastitis and they had to wean them from her at 4 weeks. I never thought about that until you mentioned it. Anyway, I don't think it is anything to worrry about. I think they just like something to cuddle sometimes. |
