Has any one else observed this in their dog?

It has been scientifically proven that dogs do dream.

My lab has gotten old, and he appears to be asleep, but when I go near the door, no matter how stealthy, his tail goes to wagging even though he never raises his head or even opens an eye.

Status: offline 		ladynlord That's funny! It's like he's got some super high powered perception that lets him sense when you near the door.

He also whines in his sleep, again loudly enough to wake me.

My dog will do that, then wake up and start barking thinking there's someone at the door. She can be amusing sometimes.
