You people critters do not seem to grasp the complicated nature of the dog sleep equation. Sleeping is a science and art form for us dogs; as are the associated activities. There is the task of finding the perfect place for a snooze. There is the decision on whether I should actually sleep or luxuriate in simply lying down for peaceful reflection and contemplation. Myriad other variables influence the dog sleep calculus. Do I want to feel the comforting warmth of sun shining through a window? Do I want the soothing coolness of a hard surfaced floor? Sometimes the softness of the sleep location is critical. Do I want the softness of my regular bed? Do I want the chamois smoothness of the mat lining the bottom of my crate? Do I want to covertly rest on Mister Tom\u2019s bed while lying my head on his pillows? Or, I may want to feel the unique coolness followed by warmth and softness of the leather sofa in the family room. It is exasperating that some of the variables are mutually exclusive. Not all combinations are possible. A cool soothing surface may not be appropriately soft. What if I want coolness underneath and warmth on my back?<\/p>\n
Moreover, once my rest is finished, stretching and yawning have to be executed precisely to wring out the last bit of delight from the total sleep experience.<\/p>\n
