A BT Sleeps Tonight
In the past year, BT has started sleeping really soundly. We asked the vet about it at her annual in the spring, and his response was “That’s what happens when they hit double digits.” He said it was nothing to worry about, and that lots of pet owners with elderly dogs ask the same question.
We got used to this silently sleeping BT problem, and even found it to our advantage sometime. Now we could enter the bathroom, tip toe around her and get something without waking her up. Win!

When I went through the photos on Tim’s phone after he died, I noticed he had taken several photos of her sleeping in cute positions. Despite all her senility, she’s still a sweet old girl. The photos I found made me smile, and I decided to try and snap a picture of her whenever I caught her sleeping soundly.
I don’t usually do a “Wordless Wednesday” and I’ve already killed that idea with the 160 words I just wrote, but I wanted to share the photos with y’all anyway.
After all these photos… I think I am ready for a nap!

Cutest. Post. Ever.
I have many photos of Pia sleeping like that too. Something about a squishy face sleeping soundly like that just warms the heart… And makes me want a nap.
ADORABLE!!! Made me want to run home and snap photos of my little chi’s sleeping. 🙂 I can never get good photos of them when they are awake. . . . .
A cute BT!
You know I do the same thing, but I have to ask… How many beds does BT have?!?!??!
She has two of her own (one died and was replaced) and there are 2 other “community” dog beds she will occasionally nap in. All in all I have 5 dog beds in the house for all of them! Not counting my bed which is first choice 🙂
Aww, I love her in her teeny beds!
O.M.G. She is SO cute all cuddled up in her tiny little BT sized dog bed. Love this post!!
BT looks so peaceful and happy sleeping. I love pictures of sleeping dogs… they’re always so cute!
So cute.
So many beds… so much cute!
I am constantly taking photos of my cat sleeping in adorable positions. So these appeal to me very much 🙂
So many nice places to choose to sleep in! Look at that sweet little old lady.
So cute! What a sweet old girl. My guy was the same way. I loved when I could sneak by him to do something quick without disturbing him.
awww i just want to curl up around her and snuggle down myself.
I think you have more dog beds than I do. And I thought I had a lot. She’s a cute old girl.
Too cute. I love sleeping dogs. Especially when they dream.
Awwww sleepy dog.
Sleepy BT makes me sleepy! I just want to snuggle her!
She is adorable!! So curled up and happy 🙂
Snoozles!!
She’s the cutest! Love her all snuggled in her tiny beds 🙂
We have a three year old lab who has been a hard core sleeper since he was a baby. That dog sleeps at least 20 hours a day, maybe more. He often sleeps beside my side of the bed on the floor. When I get up in the middle of the night to pee, I usually step on some part of him, but he never even rolls over. The dude is always OUT! He’s the same one who got Parvo the day after we got him, so we’ve asked our vet if he’s just weak from a puppyhood illness. Nope, says the vet. He’s just the laziest lab ever. :0)
I LOVE smush faced dog sleeping. It is the best!!!
Those are some great napping photos. Watching sleeping dogs is good for the soul, isn’t it? No matter where or how. And BT sure does have a LOT of different places to nap! 🙂 I have to ask, why the name BT? Does it stand for something? It is an acronym I associate with my youth, lol. My Hazel’s napping photos are usually with her on the couch and her legs in the air. It seems to be a Plott Hound thing. She is 9 this year, so I guess I should expect the true napping years any time now. A bit sad, but beautiful, too.
Awwww! I love me a cute BT snoozing. My BT sleeps hard too and he is only 7. He’s always been a big sleeper.
Aww cute pooch!
