ejano Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm sitting here in the study grading papers, the puppies are in their crates and Ladybug is at my feet. Suddenly, a gentle snore breaks the quiet, and gets gradually louder and louder...Its Robin, flat out on his side, snoring away....should I be concerned? I've never had a dog that snored until it got old and fat, which he's neither. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Fergie has always snored. She sleeps on the rug on my side of the bed; DH sleeps on the other side - in the bed, of course. The both snore - and they snore alike. When a sudden snort, followed by that awful rumble, wakes me. I have to be careful which one to poke. And these two can overpower the best ear plugs. The vet just laughs. So it must be OK. At least for the dog, if not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Crazies Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Bree, who now lives with my ex-DH, used to snore like a freight train. She was neither old or fat - actually very thin, fit, and only about 3 when she went with him. She insisted on sleeping under the bed most nights where the sound would reverberate up through the frame of the bed and make quite the racket as I could hear it through my pillow. Linc, my youngster, snores softly on occasion too, but that is nothing like Bree snoring in the echoing chamber of the under the bed abyss.

Oz Girls Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It is good to hear of other dogs snoring. When Zoe, our thin and fit 3 year old started doing it this year I was surprised as I had never come across it before in dogs. Luckily for us it was quiet and gentle - unlike her regular other sleep noises which can range from subued barking, growling and groaning to even howling. Those noises are enough to wake us and the other dog up. Carson Crazies that description of Bree is hysterical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martySQ Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 my 16 year old diabetic old man cat "Bitsy" crawls under the bed to present his snorefest every night ...sigh... maybe that is why I have sleep disorders! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
