OK so Dooley has been with me a week now and everything's going great. He is adapting very well to his new home. But when it comes to nap/sleep time or whatever, he bounces around from spot to spot. From his bed to the tile floor in the kitchen, back to under my feet at the couch. Then to the rug by the door, and back to his bed. Up again and lays at the fireplace, over to the back door rug, back to his bed. So on and so on. I think y'all get the picture. He never stays in one spot longer than a couple seconds.
Anyone else have this situation going on? And when he finally decides on a spot, it's usually right where he started......... His bed. I told the little fella i bought him the whole bed, but guess he figures he only needs half.

Awww, he's adorable. He's probably just feeling the place out. Unless he seems in distress, I wouldn't worry too much. :)

He's probably used to sleeping on a pile of puppies! If he is acting ok, eating, going potty...all these things..then he's just restless! As far as using half the bed...:ROFL: THAT is totally Bully normal! :D

He is a cute. He should settle down soon and find his comfy spot. Sometimes they will start off in bed and move to the tile to cool off. We bought a Coolaroo and our like it. They can keep cool and still comfy and not on a hard floor.

Hey Paul, Rocky still does this at timesā€¦.. When he finds the coolest place in the house, after sampling them all, he will sit with his head hung over, making me think he's being disciplined, and when I'm wondering what has recently happened which makes him sit and hang his head, He just falls over, and I swear, he's snoring before his head hits the fetal positionā€¦.. LMAOā€¦.. I joke with you not, he first samples different places, then goes and sits in one with his head hung literally to where you think his belly button would be, Then just falls over, and he's out for the count !!!! ROFLMAOā€¦.. Every Bully is different, but I'll have to get a picture of his, JUST BEFORE I PASS OUT FACEā€¦ā€¦. Check em outā€¦. see if thats what its about, I swear if I put a block of ice in the house, Rocky would find it, and plop down on top of it for sleep !! :yes:

That would have me cracking up for sure. Dooley doesn't do this but his little quirks are coming out more and more everyday. He keeps me laughing.

Duchess did that when she was very young unless I opened her crate door. Then she would go right in and start snoring! Maybe he's looking for his "den"

Tj does this too, he is either going from one area to another OR hes just spot hopping in the same general area, if hes on the couch he will change positions at least ten times before settling down. If hes in his crate (next to my bed at night) I will watch him circle lay down get up circle lay down facing other way get up lay down on other corner, for at least 20 minutes, he doesn't whine but he just can't sit still lol

HRH often sleeps just like this. Makes us wonder why we were so concerned with getting a bed with a chin rest.

Our Ollie does this he falls asleep sitting up head drooped over snoring, he wobbles and catches himself after about five or six times he finally gives in and lays down!!! We have even given him a little nudge while he was wobbling, it really didn't take much and he was over, but he'll sit back up and do it a few more times till he's ready I guess!! But he is actually asleep sitting up snoring/wobbling. Its quite funny!!
