Is your dog a light sleeper?

My Homer usually wakes up very easily. If I accidentally move his jingling toys at night, he runs to me almost immediately, ready to play. But I remember that when he was a puppy, he was a heavy sleeper. He scared my sister once, because he didn't wake up when she picked him up. She thought that he was unconscious
How about your dogs? Are they light sleepers?
Look at this picture, isn't it the most adorable?:

 

That photo was so cute.
Our recent dog is mostly a light sleeper. There are just times that he is a heavy sleeper and no matter how much movements I would do, he cannot sense me.

 

Our Dodge is a good sleeper, maybe since he's always having adventure. We walk him at least an hour each in the early morning and late afternoon, then having small naps after and long sleep at night.

 

Zararina - Homer used to be like that when he was a puppy. Now, he wakes up at the smallest noise.
Dodgesnose - Homer loves taking small naps after walking too. He is very angry if I accidentally wake him up

Aww, look at this little cutie:

 

Our chow use to be a light sleeper when she was a puppy. Now that she's 2 years old she sleeps like a log. When she's had a particularly active day she even snores. She's also gained a bit of weight in the past month so I'm thinking of bringing her to the Vet. I'm not sure sleeping so soundly and snoring are normal for a dog.

 

My friend's dog snores too It's kind of cute! He is a rather small dog, but he can be really noisy at night. I know he is healthy, so yes, snoring is normal at least for some dogs
But if I were you, I'd take her to the vet anyway, just to make sure everything is okay.

 

My little puglet is a very heavy slipper, but my standard schnauzer is actually a very light slipper She seems to be always alert and ready to catch rats and mice It's her instinct, since she was bred for that. She reacts to the slightest sound, but my little puggie could sleep tru a house robbery, lol.

 

As far as I know, Yorkies were bred for catching rats too But it's funny, my Homer last night didn't notice that I moved his blanket. Usually, he bites me when I do this. This time, he was sleeping like a child

 

Yeah, most terriers have a very strong hunting instinct Terriers love chasing small things, some do it more than others. That's why isn't good idea to keep small pets with a terrier at home. Glad your homer is sleeping better, maybe is because his age.

 

Homer chases everything that runs away from him. He always tries to catch other dogs, squirrels, birds, and, of course, insects. Do your dogs love playing with insects too?
Fortunately, we don't keep any small animals at home. My sister owns two turtles, but they're really slow, so Homer ignores them completely.

 

My surviving schnauzer likes to play with bugs only if they jump If they don't jump and just walk painfully slowly she is not interested. I guess she sees that extra high jumping as a challenge Because as soon as she sees that she tried to catch the poor bug!

 

Homer sometimes attacks even very slow bugs.
The only little creatures he says away from are spiders. I think he's scared of them. I've never seen him playing with a spider

 

My girls get up at the slightest noise. Sometimes I want to tip toe around the house so I won't get them up but it seldom works. Sometimes I want to drug them so they would get a good sleep when I am at home and doing thins that will invariably keep them up.

On the odd occasion if there are super exhausted they will be knocked out of a bit.

 

I don't blame him, spiders are scary! My mom had a dog that even attacked bees :O I'm sure he'd have tried to attack spiders if he had had the chance, that dog didn't seem to think much.

 

Trellum -Homer attacks bees too! I worry they may sting him
Winterybella - Homer gets up at the slightest noise too, especially if I'm in the kitchen. I can't eat anything without him staring at me
