“Mom, Rocky’s doing it again!”
You know when everyone is quiet, hanging out, lounging with the TV or reading or typing, and the dog is there too, content to sprawl on the floor and sleep one more hour?
And you know when all of a sudden they begin to do the little flinchy thing in their sleep, and then comes the whimper-cry-shake, and then an actual sleep bark? Their eyes are in REM and their little noses are sniffing and their body rises and falls in deep breaths.
What do you think happens when dogs dream? Are theirs like ours? Are they the main character in some vivid doggie movie going on in their brain? Are they working out some doggie stress in their sleep?
Do dogs have flying dreams too? Or maybe just Milk Bone dreams?

I’m pretty sure my chocolate lab dreamed about bunnies and wild romps through giant fields.
My black lab dreams about tattoo parlors, cheating at poker, cigarettes, and having a finger she could use in obscene gestures. *sigh*
Ha!!
