| my 8 year old yorkie sleeps so much Winston is eight years old and 3lbs, he is constantly sleeping and doesnt play with any of his toys or me. He always wants to cuddle or sleep. Every time I come home, when he lays on my lap, or when we are in bed he does'nt stop licking me!! He will just keep licking for like 5 mins if i dont stop him, and I feel bad pushing him away or putting him down! I don't under stand????!??!? I can remember him always being like this since I have had him ( when he was 3 ) but in the last couple months this has all gotten worse could anyone give me any advice, or ever had a simular problem?!?! I am concered. THANK YOU!!!!! |

| I don't really have any suggestions... maybe try harder to get him to play? It might also be worth a visit to your vet to have some bloodwork done, just to be safe. Is he eating enough?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have 3, ages almost 4, 3 years old and 1 1/2 years old and they sleep all the time, they get up and play for a bit and then it's back to sleep. I would have bloodwork done to rule out any medical reason. It may be he is bored or just likes to sleep. My 4 year old licks everything, us, the rug, blanket the other dogs and we have no idea why. She does have allergies so I don't know if that is why or if it is just a behavoural thing. Keep us posted

| My husband and I were just talking this morning, as Maddie lay snoring between us,lol, how much she sleeps. However, she will play some but soon curls up to snooze. I certainly think it is worth making a trip to the vet for bloodwork/checkup. You know your Winston better than anyone so you are able to notice when there are behavior changes. Good Luck and let us know... _________________________ I MADDIE |

| Thanks a bunch everyone! I called and made an appointment for a trip to the vet for next week, just to make sure. I'll keep you all posted with the results etc. Thanks so much for the advice. The licking situation is just weird haha and funny too!! It's relieving to know hes not the only one with these issues lol. |
