Charlie is sleeping very strangely!

jacob5 · 07-01-2009, 03:24 PM

Ever since we bought Charlie this very nice and new bed a month ago, (this is his 3rd and last bed that he is getting) he now sleeps like a little baby in it. First thing that he does when it's time to go to sleep is, hop into his comfy, big bed, then he rolls over entirely on his back, then he spreads his legs open, and sticks out his big freckled tummy :P . I ketch him sleeping like this every night ever since we got this brand new bed. He does not sleep like this in his other beds but only in this one. So a few nights ago I quickly got out of bed turned on the lights and grabbed the camera and took a couple pics. I was also wondering if any of your bassets do the same.

Here are a few pictures of him sleeping.

Here are some pictures of Charlie playing in the grass.

I just can't believe that Charlie is almost 5 months, and 36lbs. I can still remember when we were just bringing him home from the breeder, when he was only 12lbs and 8 weeks old.

That's funny.

I love his freckles.

He's a cutie pie!

My 2 usually curl up into a ball to sleep...unless they are in the bed then they sprawl WAY out! <_<

Way to go, Charlie !!
Miss Daisy does this sometimes when she sneeks into the chair. At night she sleeps in her pen curled up on several blankets.

Many Howls to you all,
Miss Daisy and her driver, Fritz

Our pup Howie (4 1/2 months old) does this as well, but no as often as charlie, Howie also tends to lay down flat on his stomach with his back legs stickin straight back, when he was home seeing our family they were quite amused by that position as they had never seen a dog lay like that before, there basset never did it, Does Charlie ever lay like that? (If you understand what I mean, don't got a picture, if I ever take one I will put it up!)

When Yogi was a baby he slept like that quite often. Now he only does it once in awhile.
I love Charlie's dog bed! He is a very handsome boy!

Freddy, our last basset sometimes slept like that, but not Charles. Howie looks enormous in that picture! He looks like an adult basset already! Looks like he is a few weeks younger that Charlie too. (Howie=4 1/2 months) (Charlie=5 months)
