| Are snoring and grunting normal? Sasha has been snoring like a HUMAN for the past few months. At first it was kind of funny. But now she is reaching volumes that I thought were impossible for a little dog. So much that she has started to wake me up at night (she sleeps next to me). I have to nudge her or compleytely move her to get her to stop. Is is normal for them to snore? She also grunts. When she feels pleasure like from a belly rub, she grunts. When she's playing with her toys, she grunts. Loudly too. It's almost like she's trying to talk. Again, at first we thought it was cute, but she's doing it more and more so that I'm getting concerned. I don't want to make a trip to the vet if it's harmless though. Thoughts? |

| That's perfectly normal for yorkies. I swear sometimes Piper sounds like he's purring when he's getting a belly rub, and he snores like there's no tomorrow.

| Daisy Mae snores a little, thank goodness she's quite (now) Haven't heard the grunting yet, but hey they think they are human, so I am sure she will be jumping up to the dinner table soon and asking you to pass the chicken!! ~Kathy

| Skippy is three years old. If he even thinks I'm going to pet or snuggle him he snorts. LOL When he dozes off he snores, too. It's so cute. Anita |

| That's how Sasha is too! As soon as my hand comes near her she immediately rolls over on her back in preparation for a rub and starts grunting...lol. |
