How do they do it? Most of us know it's been soooo cold this winter. My Mylee has been going under the covers to sleep. I keep A LOT of blankets on my bed topped off with a heavy comforter. When she's awake, she is full of life, and so active. But when she sleeps she's like a ton of bricks, so much so that when I bump her in the middle of the night she doesn't move. I thought she went under there and suffocated last night when I couldn't move her. I jumped up, threw the covers back, and she just laid there. She had her nose all smooshed up in the tight corner. So I took my hand and gently shook her and she looked up at me like "what ya doing- I'm sleeping?" How do they sleep under there and be able to breath? Scares the begeebers outta me. |
I have no idea Callie doesn't do it but I grew up with a 20 pound beagle mix that did every night. He would get angry if I didn't hold up the blankets and let him go under and he would lay by my feet under the sheet, fleece blankets and heavy comforter. Many times I threw the covers off checking on him because you could bump him with your feet and nothing. He did this for years and years. |
We sleep with an electric blanket on and both Molly and Macy have to be under all the covers crunched up against my legs. I don't know how they do it. |
Lulu sleeps under our blankets at night too! She will actually paw at me until I lift the blankets so she can crawl under. She sleeps like a log too but she HAS to be touching me so if I move, she will move so that she is touching me. :D |
:D:D There can't be a whole lot of oxygen under there! |
My chihuahua sleeps under the blankets, against my back, and Bella sleeps on top of the blankets between my legs. Makes turning over during the night difficult. They both get quite insulted if I make them move. |
All our dogs sleep under the blankets! Tatiana will come out during the night and sleeps on my pillow for a while. But when she gets chilled, she will paw at my shoulder to get back under, then she curls up beside me. Teeka has to be under the quilt, but on top of the sheets! Then there is Bailey, (our cocker) she has to be under and at my feet, so I have to be curled up in a ball to sleep! |
I put pajamas on the yorkies but they still shove their bodies up against me and my husband. |
under the covers I have heard of dogs suffocating under the covers--I can't even begin to imagine how awful that would be! It seems to be more dangerous for the brachycephalic breeds. |
I have always wondered this too, LOL I hate it when Thalia tunnels too deep. Zeus lays right up against me but the blankets always come to his neck/shoulders, so his head is sticking out (like people, ha ha). Thalia, though, "digs" and "tunnels" down to our feet. She only stays there for a short while, and then typically will pop out and I'll put her on the comforter and then add a fleece blanket (or two, if it's cold) for her. I think she gets too hot down under too many blankets. I'm much happier with her having her own blankets to sleep under. |
When we're camping, Joel sleeps at the bottom of my sleeping bag. I don't know how he does it but he loves it:p |
Most nights Gracie starts out sleeping on top of the covers but usually sometime during the night she starts pawing at the top of the covers to let me know she wants to go under. I have a flannel sheet and a comfy blanket over me. She can sleep for hours under there and not come up for air. Don't know how they do it. I guess their breathing slows as they sleep which is also why they get colder when they sleep than when they are up running around. I have a granite kitchen floor that is pretty cold this time of year. She won't sit her little butt on it because it is too cold. I have a little dog bed for her to snuggle in while she is waiting for me to get done with my kitchen work. The cold really bothers her. |
LOL, Piper is the same way. I've had my heart in my throat on more than one occasion. A few nights ago she was sleeping so hard that I even lifted her head up and she was limp. I just about became hysterical and then she curled into a ball and let out this little moan. She's going to be the death of me! |

Mine don't go under the covers, but they scare me enough burying their noses into me and the covers. It is a mystery how they can be comfortable this way. |
