Playing Dead?

Tweet

This morning I got up around 6am to use the bathroom and right outside of it is our dog Lassie (she came with the name when we got her). She's laying there with her eyes barely open and she isn't moving. I call her name a few times with no response. I reach down to pet her head and she seems very stiff and cool. I push on her head, she slides on the tile but doesn't move otherwise. I'm thinking "Oh my gods what am I going to do". I'm about to wake up my sister to let her know. I turn on the light over head to double check and she is breathing, Thank gods. After a couple of moments she gets up like nothings wrong, gets a drink of water and goes back to lay down. I told her she plays dead way too good for me. Have your cats or dogs ever scared you like that or in some other way? I really thought something was wrong with her. If I didn't know better I swear they have an insurance policy out on me and they try to give me a heart attack so they can collect :)
