Is it normal to love hearing dogs whimper in their dreams?

It is ridiculously cute. My dog does it all the time, and I just have to "aww" every time he does it. Soooo cute.

I liked it when my dog tried to woof at something in her dreams but didn't open her mouth in reality so it was just a quieter, stifled version. Used to call them her muffled wuffles.

Yeah it's normal alright lol. Me and my brother always laugh and say theres some good (insert dog name here) dreams goin on, funny to listen to.

at first I thought it said you love hearing dogs whimpering in your dreams o.O.

but no, it's normal

I love to think of my dog dreaming but worry if she's crying so I reach over to wake her out of it. Maybe I'm wrong doing this?!

My do used to run and bark in his sleep as well. One time he even jumped a foot in the air. When he was really out of it his breathing would get really heavy and his 'lips' would flap. It sounded like a person blowing a raspberry.

I've never had a dog, but I love to watch cats sleep. It's so cute when they smack their lips and their whiskers and paws start twitching. What sweet dreams they must be having!

I don't like it. It always makes me think she's in pain.

I agree. Running and woofing in their sleep is way cute. Some nights i hear both my dogs, my cat also runs in his sleep, and hubby snoring. It can be quite noisy at times.

This makes a nice change from "I kick my dog" posts!
Yes it's adorable, so sweet and innocent!
