| Sleepy or sick? I'm a first time dog owner and Yorkie mom. My 3 month old puppy sleeps quite frequently throughout the day. She's active and playful as well and sleeps through the night. Is it normal for her to nap so often during the day? She tends to take several hour long naps. I usually chalk it up to her being tuckered out from playing, but I'm a little worried.. am I just being an overly cautious mom? |

| I'd have to say it's normal. My pup is just about 6 months old now and still takes a bunch of naps. As long as your girl has bouts of play and activity and nothing else seems "wrong" I'd say you're just a little overly cautious. Not that that's a bad thing. =) Welcome to YT and congrats on your new pup!

| Welcome, and congrats on your Baby! Sounds normal to me- Puppies are like babies, all they do is sleep, and eat and play. Some puppies sleep more than others, some play more than others- If it is something you are really worried about, take her in to get a check up that way you can get the Ok from the Vet and you wont have to worry.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I agree if you are that worried take her to the vet. Puppies sleep a lot

| Thanks! She's been checked out by the vet twice since I got her so I know it's nothing serious. |
