They are such a great group. They love you doing tummy rubs. It makes you want to do them more but sleep they must.
Have you ever noticed a puppy twitching while it is sleeping on video? What does this mean?
We call this twitching Activated Sleep. Twitching helps build the puppies muscle tone which helps give the puppies strength to stand and walk on their own. These funny looking twitches also sends off bursts of neuronal firing which plays an extremely important role in motor coordination. In essence, they are growing and developing. Twitching is a key indicator that the puppy is healthy and developing normally. But to some it appears cute and to others concerning but other than wondering what puppies dream of, all is good!
