Sheltie sleeping upside down

How DO they sleep like that, Marjorie?

  1. I believe this is what we would call a serious case of bed-head, LOL! That is too funny! Actually, my Bambi always slept this way too, behind the front door, propped up by the wall (and I have the marks to show where she would sometimes dream and “run” in place). Dessa looks to be a very small baby and just too cute.

  2. Now that’s a SHELTIE!!! Snug as a bug on a rug! Dessa is too precious and who cares about messy hair when the dreams are this good!!!

    I needed this first thing monday morning!! :)

  3. What is it about Shelties, my Roxie loves to sleep that way too. Then when they wake up, they’re like turtles on their backs for a second until they right themselves. But they always manage to get back on their paws, ready for action. Dessa is a real cutie byw.

  4. This just made me have a good belly laugh

  5. LOL! And the amazing thing is how comfortable she looks!

  6. Dessa is just a little doll! I love how she sleeps. Thanks for sharing your wonderful sheltie with us today.

  7. hahaha Snug upon the wall..Too cute! Thank you for another AWWW morn for me..Dess is very cute too!

  8. Too funny. Dessa’s hair looks like it is flowing in the breeze of a good dream of maybe running? She is a cutie!

  9. I agree it must be a Sheltie thing. My Daisy sometimes does it, too. I think maybe bracing their feet against a wall gives them a feeling of security.

  10. So cute. My first Sheltie Skye often slept upside down and so does Ally currently. Skye’s breeder said her bedroom walls were often lined by 10 Shelties sleeping upside down against the walls!!! Wouldn’t that be a funny sight?

  11. Love the way Dessa’s hair looks like its blowing in the wind. Thanks for sharing!!

  12. My Danny Boy sleeps the same way sometimes.

  13. Lucy sleeps this way too. On her back, with her side up against the wall, back of a chair, my leg (in bed) etc. And LOL at the ‘looks like a turtle on its back’ I’ve often called Lucy ‘my little turtle’ when she’s struggling to right herself.

    Dessa is too cute!

  14. Dessa is precious – she reminds me of my Amanda when she’s in a very deep sleep. Sullivan refers to her “bed-head” – my husband calls it “bed-body”;).

  15. I love shelties and the crazy ways they find to sleep! Super cute! made my day :)
