Fast asleep, I couldn’t help wondering whether “Sam was a hedgehog or a dog?” I’ve never seen him tuck his nose under his leg like that before. What do you think?
Live, love, bark! <3

He’s very comfy
Adorable! Isn’t it interesting how small they look when they are all curled up? Wilhelmina weighs close to sixty pounds but when she curls up she looks so small just like Sam! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Luke does that too, so I guess they’re just being dogs!
So strange since he’s never done that move before, only the tucked curl.
Ducky sleeps like that at times, too. And seconds later, she’ll be fully stretched-out with both ends “hanging” off the sides of her dog bed.
As for Sam? I’d have to say dog cuz I’ve never actually seen a live hedgehog close up.
I wish I could curl up like that on cold nights, but I’d need paramedics to straighten me out again…
LOL Getting older is a cruel mistress, that’s for sure.
Mom calls me Bagel Dog when I sleep like that. #donut
Love and licks,

Your mom is waaaay too clever, Cupcake!
Was it cold in the house? That’s when Harley does his curl up.
Not that night.
He’s pretty adorable regardless! Lots of cats sleep like that … but I’ve never seen a dog do it. Maybe it was too bright for him to take a nap?
He normally curls up tight as a ball like a cat but has never tucked his head under his tail. Maybe he was checking to see if his favorite man part was still in tact? 🤣
Either way he is darn adorable 🙂
I always giggle when our dogs sleep like this…What’s that smell lol?!
Hee, hee.
I think Elsa left a stinky!
Not pawsible…she wasn’t in the room!
Sam looks nice and cozy, we wish we could join in! It looks like someone has perfected the ‘tuck and roll’!
BOL – good one!
We sleep like that when we are chilly!!
Smileys!

That was what was so weird, he did that on a warm day!
I’m a bird dog. The Everly Brothers sang about me.
That is such a cute way to sleep. I got with hedge-dog, as others have said. I don’t think Tippy has ever slept that way. She will tuck her head and nose between my leg and the back of the couch sometimes. I usually think it is to shield her eyes from the light. Who knows. Maybe Sam just had a particularly cold nose today.
With that knucklehead, you never can tell. 🤣
We do that when we’re cold.
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
of course he is a darling woofie!! Dakota does that all of the time!
Sam always curls up but has never tucked his nose in. So cute though if I say so myself.
Maximum heat retention – perfect form
Cute! <3
Hard to believe that little ball of fur weighs 55 + lbs. when he’s standing! He makes himself so small when he sleeps.
Tough question but, as Ray does that also, I am going to go with dog!
To weird, I’ve never seen him do that before. He does curl up in a tight ball most of the time, but has never tucked his nose under a leg like that.
Must be some canine rationale involved! 🙂
He’s chilly. Cole did that to warm up. We called it a dogball. Then on a cold walk one day I covered my nose and warmed up right away, breathing in warmer air.
Dogball…I love it!
Seamus used to tuck his head under the couch so he could have darkness…have you seen that?
Whoa, nope, never have. The only thing a nose undertake sofa means in our house is “please get that thing for me.” 😊
maybe a hedge-dog? have sweet dreams sam and a super wednesday…
Hedge-dog. Too funny.
A Hedgedog perhaps…
Must be. I never thought of that before.
