This is a bad camera phone pic, but this is how my roommate’s dog sleeps.
He’s Buddy, and he’s a good dog.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.
Motown is Joe-Town!
Ah, the different things are different argument.
Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.
Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!
The US Supreme Court is on the ballot in november.
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.
Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.
… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop
New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.
Republicans in disarray!
Come on, man.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.
Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.
Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

That is a dog who knows he is loved, completely safe and protected. A dog is a wonderful thing.

Around our house that position is known as the Full Roadkill.
We knew the five-year-old rescue we’d adopted was “acclimating” when he crawled into the bed between us, wriggled into a Full Roadkill, and fell asleep with a sigh of contentment.
When I depart this life and my many failings are weighed in the balance, at least I’ll be able to count on a word in my favor from Zevon and the other “surplus animals” I’ve been able to provide a home for over the years…

Anne: I love you just for that comment. :-)

Both of my cats sleep that way when they sense their latest crime against humanity requires an extra shot of aw-dorable.

That is a happy dog! Sometimes my cat Fido lies on his back with all his paws in the air. I can’t decide what that means. I choose to believe it means he is super comfortable.

He wont feel loved and protected when someone accidentally steps on his nads.
Remember folks, protect your junk at all times, even when sleeping.

Actually that’s the clearest camera phone picture I’ve ever seen.
Cute doggie )

We always called that the Dead Dog pose, but Full Roadkill is just such a better term that I’m appropriating it immediately, with no promise of remuneration.

I sleep that same way. I’d post a picture, but the site isn’t set up for that.

My Lab/Golden mix sleeps that way all the time too!
I’ve always thought it was his way of saying “I can’t believe you cut those off of me!”.
Dogs are such a joy. One I often think we don’t deserve.

This is Buddy’s way of saying, “Don’t even think of trying to pass by without rubbing my belly. You will rub the belly.

While my chow-mix Tam sleeps like that, I know my pointer is seriously happy when her head hangs off the couch (she never sleeps on the floor).
I found four little puppies that had been dumped today. Since I can’t put a pic in the comments here, feel free to stop by my humble blog to see them — also, name suggestions are very welcome although I haven’t had them long enough to get a sense of their personalities yet . . . well except that two were unafraid enough that I caught them quickly, the other two took more work and time to catch.

Heh. Dreyf used to sleep like that sometimes. Then he’d wake up and start waving his front and back paws in the air, while making growling and schnuffing noises (we called it, “Dreyf doing his aerobics.”)
Seeing a happy doggie always makes me happy. :)
Jake
incontrolados, that is so kind of you. One thing I don’t like about living in a college town is the fact I can’t knock the snot out of the college kids who think nothing of dumping their pets every summer.

Our rescued feral cat has just managed to pull the stunt for which I think he lives — he snuck into our bedroom, dodged a determined human, and took an eight foot leap through the air onto our bed. He seems to have decided that’s a safe spot, because he’s put his ears up and is surveying the room with a distinctly self-satisfied air.

We called that the “dying cockroach.”
Exactly how many tequila shooters did you give him, anyway?

Thanks, Jake, but uhm, it’s something I worry about. I have a couple of trusted friends who have agreed to do an intervention if should ever even come close to over-doing it. I don’t want to be the crazy lady on teevee with hundreds of pets. As it stands now, I have a new feral cat living in the backyard whom I’ve yet to trap because the local spay/neuter place is closed for the holidays. Before the little pups today, I was at 10, which is pushing the limit. (But I can never say no, so the intervention squad will apply the pressure soon.)

Perry, that is such a CUTE dog!!

My blue pit bull sleeps the same way…got a few photos like that (got a great one over the holidays of him like on a quilt with his head on a pillow).
jrg
My Lab/Spaniel(ish?) mix sleeps like this sometimes, too. I don’t think there’s anything particularly strange about it.
Buddy looks like a good dog. Give him a collar scratch from me :)

I have a yellow lab who sleeps the exact same way — but she’s usually on the couch when she does it.
Badtux
Kujo was a good dog too. Until, y’know.

MD…I think this SOP for Labs and Goldens and any mix thereof. I got a Golden for my daughter who’s now (the dog) five months old, and this is his favorite position. He loves to show off his balls, which makes me think of the proud parent’s line in Fellini’s Amarcord, “Such balls as to fuck all of Italy!”
