Yes, Lucky does this. I think it is normal. Lucky will sleep 7 to 8 hours a night then sleep from 8 to 12:30 then from 1:20 to 5:40. All other times, he is bouncing off the walls with energy. I try to play tons of catch with him. I would take him on walks everyday but they seem to stress him out. He does not like kids (he is scared of them) so walking around the neighborhood is stressful for him since they all want to pet him!
Is this normal?
I am home on vacation this week, so for the first time I get to spend a big chunk of time with Marley during the day. Well, he sleeps sooooooo much. I am sticking to the schedule of when he is home alone, except that he is crated no where near as much, and we get to play more. I am up at the same time, he eats at the same time, and to bed at the same time.
When he gets up, he is still yawning, but is energetic and plays. Then within about a half hour of eating, he is napping. Then he's back up and I take him out, play, half hour later, he is yawning to signal that he needs another nap. He's still sleeping 7 hours at night, so I would guesstimate he is sleeping about 18-20 hours a day.
Here's my question...do they really sleep this much at 4 months old? How much do these pups normally sleep?
