~JoLu~ Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 So Jonty just got up off his beanbag to follow OH into the kitchen. As he did so, he kinda stumbled, the limped out the room holding one of his front paws up. He then put it back down and walked on it awkwardly at first and then fine as if nothing happened.... which brings me to my question. Can a dogs leg "fall asleep" from sleeping on it like our hands, legs, feet, arms etc can when we lay on them for too long??? I wonder if he feels "pins and needles" like we do?? Or is it just one of the great mysteries of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloss344 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bob has done this on the odd occasion. Once he's moving it's all fine. I put it down to his leg falling asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yep, just ask our Greyhound who got out of bed, put his weight on his front legs and fell over. One of his legs had gone to sleep. I can laugh now as he wasn't hurt but he came crashing down at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryamartimmy Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Haha. That would have been funny (after examining the poppet for bumps and bruises of course!) I've lost count of how many times I've woken up with an alien object across my face, panicked and smacked out at it, only to discover it was attached to my other arm!!! Just imagine a dog's puzzlement at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miccar96 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was just wondering this myself the other week when Henry got up after a longer nap on the floor. He walked a bit funny for about a minute, then normal as if nothing had happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
