Sleeping with one eye open!

You talk of animals who protect us. There was this story on people.com about a pitbull who saved her owner. The woman was passed on on the railroad tracks and the conductor could not slow the train in time. The eight year old pitbull the woman had, dragged her to safety, and took a partial hit herself. They had to amputate her right front paw, and her pelvis was broken, but with rehab they think the dog will walk again and be fine. (The conductor had thought initially the dog and woman were both hit. Can you imagine that panic?) What killed me was when the woman's son showed up on the seen (he's also a police officer), he saw the dog, the dog's paw all mangled, and the dog's tail started wagging. Amidst the pain that dog had, she wagged her tail. Here is what makes me suspsicious. Why was the woman unconscious? The story did not say. I think she was drunk. The son of the woman is taking the pitbill home with him and his girlfriend and 2 golden retrievers to heal. Doesn't that make you suspicious? 'Cause if that woman was drunk she doesn't deserve a dog. I'm just thankful the dog lived. The son said he owes his mom's life to the dog, the pitbull he rescued and gave his mom 3 years ago. Sweet story I thought.

oh Ambie thats so cute. now i know a lot of animals keep watch as they sleep. we are so protected or maybe they just are afraid they will miss something shadow, yes dogs really love to sleep with someone, actually i think all pets do. perhaps they feel safer also.

My German Shepherd not only opens his eye while sleeping, his mouth opens, too. He loves to sleep with me on my bed, someti . mes I wakes up at night and I see a pair of shining eye in front of me. That was soooo scaring !!!! But when I notice his snoring, I can't help laughing. And usually on the next day, I can see a little "pond" under his mouth. I decided to check it up at night. I found his mouth was widely opened an his tongue fell off his mouth. Sometimes I can also heard his moan at night...XD And the next morning his saliva pond will be bigger. What he dreamed last night??? Females?? XD Maybe when he is mature enough one-day, there'll be another "pond" in front of his *** o

it would. i should try it some time.

That would be a good Christmas card, you could take his picture with his eye or eyes open laying on the couch, and it would look like he is waiting to catch a glimpse of Santa. LOL.

you come up with great ideas

Its funny when he lifts his head and blinks at us sleepily....

oh the poor baby. thats cute. maybe he peeks between his paws and you dont know it

yes, both human and animal

with eyes open?

Yes, it does.

it does seem cats do this more often doesnt it.

yes im wondering if maybe coco wants to keep an eye out in case i bring something in to eat. poor babies. i guess they feel thats love. eating you know. food=love

and yes, coco barks no matter who comes in my room when the door is open and shes in there. guess she figures it her room to of course.

sweet. they are so loving and comforting.even at your feet.

yes thats usually how i know with coco

so at least they keep their ears open.

oh that certainly makes sense. poor man. it does freak a kid out though. i just remembered an aunt that had a husband that she said could sleep not only with an eye open but standing up also i remember it freaked me out hearing about it.

its sad when a person has to do without pets. but yes, she is quite my little watch dog. she even barks if she knows the person entering our room

yes guess she dont want me sneaking food in there she dont know about

ya, it is very funny. You dog is so lovable....

ong, devil dog when shes asleep huh?

gee i think that would be even creepier in a human.

that would be a good one. never thought to get up and do that. i have other videos of her playing on youtube. guess i should try that one also.

now thats a bit creepy. and i thought coco looked creepy like that
