I have a Question. I'm concerned about Kizzy. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kizzys Mom · 06-20-2006, 08:02 PM

Kizzy is happy, well rounded & friendly. One thing that concerns me. She will be running and playing here with her toys. She will run in a room and be shaking and growling with a toy in her mouth and its almost like she just falls down fast and will fall asleep within 5 seconds, sometimes still chewing on the toy. Hubby says hes never seen a dog fall asleep so quick and neither have I. Also, I got her at 6 weeks old. she has only woke me up 3 times during the night and that was when I first got her. In the mornings when hubby gets up to go to work at 5 or so, she never makes a sound. I mean he doesnt sneak around either. Its just as if we're all up. I am a sound sleeper, but I get up sometimes around 7:30 and walk right past her bed and go to the bathroom. come right back by her and crawl back in bed and go to sleep in about 5 seconds too but she still never lets on that anyone is up. She does not wake me up before 8:30 or so most times. Sometimes I hear her whine a little and just cant seem to get awake so she just shuts up and lays there. And apparently she goes back to sleep and when I get up maybe 30 minutes later she seems to be still asleep until she hears me call her name and start to unzip her soft crate to get her up. I tell everyone she was born just for me because I am a sound sleeper and I stay up late and sleep late and she lets me sleep till I get up. I've never seen a puppy (especially at 6 weeks old) that dont whimper or whine when ANYONE in the house gets up in the mornings be it 5 am or 7 am or any other time. But I just got concerned lately since she is almost 5 months old and goes to sleep so fast. Its like a car just suddenly runs out of gas and stops. She just finished up all her baby shots and was seeing the vet about every 3 weeks and he cks her over. He's never found anything wrong with her. Anyone ever had a puppy go to sleep this fast right in the middle of playing? I can understand it when she was 6,7,8 or so weeks old but at 5 months? Then again I have never understood why I sleep so sound and never hear things during the night. Been this way all my life and had a sister the same way. But I always heard my kids during the night if they woke up. But dogs are usually so alert. it seems weird to me even tho I appreciate her letting me sleep as long as I want.

I wonder if furbabies get narcolepsy?

Tiger's Mom · 06-20-2006, 08:13 PM

I wish I could help . . .all I can do is hope and pray nothing is wrong with Kizzy

LuvtheCooper · 06-20-2006, 08:22 PM

Well, I have one too...

Cooper sleeps with us and he sleeps as late as I do, until around 9ish or so. Husband gets up at 5:00, he has to physically wake Cooper up and take him out..., he does his business and is right back in bed with me and asleep. I wake Cooper up when I get up around 9 or so, no telling how long he would sleep if I didn't. I got him at 10 weeks, and he got me up the first week around 2, but then right back to sleep. After that first week, he sleeps until we get him up. He also will be playing and then it's like enough and he is out like a light. Today was a busy day for him and he has slept most of the evening...but I know he will be ready to sleep as soon as we go to bed and he will sleep all night, just like his usual!!! Also, during the day, if I ever want to take a nap, he will lay down with me and sleep as long as I do. Guess we both got lucky!! Oh yeah, he can play all out too...he is not always sleeping, just when he does sleep, he does!!

yes, it does seem like we're lucky that they dont whine, bark and carry on and wake us up. Hubby doesnt even bother with getting Kizzy up on weekends anymore. He just lets us both sleep till we get up. And yep, Kizzy sleep a good bit during the day. seems to take her energy in spurts. Then she runs wild and jumps and chases toys we throw for her and just acts normal. At night she will lay right here beside me on the rug while i'm on here and sleep. But once its night night time I put her in her nighttime bed, I dont hear a peep out of her until the next morning and sometimes I get up before her and I have to wake her up. Say 8:30 or 9. Only once n a while does she whine before I get up. So maybe its just luck that we got the ones that likes to sleep late too.

LuvtheCooper · 06-20-2006, 08:30 PM

Oh yeah, Cooper is 6 1/2 months old.

yorky4ME · 06-20-2006, 08:48 PM

I don't know about the sleeping right in the middle of the act of playing but I know my MaeMae is a sleepyhead. She sleeps with me and my hubby is up at 7am and she won't even look up..... I sleep in and she just sleeps. Even when I get up late sometimes..... like 11am

she will still be in bed. I will go get ready in my bathroom and call for head and she won't even lift her head. When I get closer..... she'll roll on her back to show her belly. Like she doesn't want to get out of bed. She's the only one that does this and she is over 3 years old. I, personally, love this part about her. She will be aggressive and very active when we go down but she is a very calm dog when it's just her and me. When I take her out...... she'll stay in her bag for hours and not want to come out. I take her to movies and dinners and nobody even knows she is there. She is my angel. Your baby sounds more serious though.... I would just keep an eye on her.

sometimes I think she just plays to hard she just pushes her self to the limit before she realizes it or something. But i've never seen a puppy fall asleep this fast and yes she is very active when she is active and she and I didnt get up today until almost 11 am. even tho I was up 2 or 3 times and went back to bed she didnt wake up till I woke her up. But everything about her other than this is perfectly normal or seems to be.

No problem -- my dogs (and birds) (and cats) are the same way. They have all adjusted to my schedule --- and I am a real night owl. Not one of them every wakes me up early in the morning. They all sleep away until I'm ready to get up -- around 9:30 or 10:00 or so......

Consider yourself lucky!!!!!! Remember that all these animals sleep 10 to 16 hours a day anyway - so, it is especially wonderful if they adjust to your schedule.

PS: I work nights and evenings !!!
