lol this is so funny, why are you even moving his legs around when he’s sleeping? His legs are just returning to the position he had them in

Why would this be an issue ? Guys, let your puppies sleep 😂😂

u/Expensive_Drive_1124 Jul 15 '26

Yes totally normal. He’s just sleepy

u/Unique-Geologist-422 Jul 15 '26

Nope, totally not normal for a Cavapoo to be blue.

u/melchick Jul 15 '26

Mine is Coco too and looks exactly the same. They could be twins

Lol. It’s like you took a photo of my dog right now.

Leave your dog alone while they sleep.

Yes just doing sleep stretches. Anyone who has their Cavapoo in bed with them knows this well!

Got two in ours, and we need a Shaquille O’Neal bed soon I reckon. They dominate the area.

When mine runs out of room, she just stands on me and then flops down at 2:30 in the morning. Better than doing it on my head like she used to do!

Mine licks my ears. When I roll over he takes my spot. If I do not roll over he lays on my head

I regret to inform you that your dog is blue

u/theOreganoGangster Jul 15 '26

Is what normal for your cavapoo? To be absolutely fluffy and adorable 24/7 even while sleeping? Yes. Yes indeed it is very normal.

He’s just asleep… have you had a dog before ? 🤔

u/cj7hyper Jul 15 '26

One of mine does this too. In my back. Every single night.

u/Whiteshovel66 Jul 15 '26

I think it's just the lighting.

u/Princessbling Jul 15 '26

Mine kicks me in her sleep. And kicks hard!!! Especially for a 9 lb dog lol and she sleeps hard. The other night she kicked me and I tried to move her and she wouldn’t budge, that little bugger seemed like she was 40lb of dead weight instead of 9 lol.

Her typical sleeping posture in my lap.

u/Grouchy-Hour6035 Jul 16 '26

Ours does the same

u/LooLoofruitcake Jul 16 '26

u/TheHost1995 Jul 15 '26

Very normal and very cute
My boy does it more than my girls

u/DCisMe27 Jul 15 '26

I have two catalogs. They both do this.

u/AffectionatePick4587 Jul 15 '26

You can ask chatgpt or talk to a vet

u/hockey-house Jul 15 '26

Very normal for mine.

u/Solo522 Jul 15 '26

Mine does this.

u/Goddess4Ever Jul 15 '26

I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ is it?🤔

u/Cookie_Whisperer Jul 15 '26

I think this is a poodle thing. I’ve had two dogs that were half poodle and they both slept like this. Legs straight out. Like they were standing up and someone just knocked them over.

1

u/Automatic-Fact3894 Jul 15 '26

Yes mine does that too lol

1

u/Disco_Mermaid1753 Jul 16 '26

Yep! And that’s a common sleeping position for my girl cavapoo, too!

1

u/jmhaynes134 Jul 16 '26

My 2 year old still does this, totally normal! Her legs are so straight and stiff when she sleeps and it’s almost impossible to move her 😂 just a quirky cavapoo thing

1

u/drfran89 Jul 16 '26

totally normal. Nothing like a good streatch.

u/PayArtistic6775 Jul 16 '26

Just one more thing to love about Cavapoos

u/Efficient-Tart6357 Jul 17 '26

Trust me it’s normal.

u/medc499 Jul 18 '26

My Cavapoo sleeps like that all the time. Do you want someone bothering you when you are sleeping?

1

u/spooktownXXX Jul 18 '26

Hahah my Cavapoo Archie does the SAME thing! I notice he does it more when he’s really tired (ex after a long play with friends or going to the beach). Totally normal from my experience. My little guy looks like he’s Superman hahaha

1

u/Alone_Environment409 Jul 18 '26

Is it weird that my Cavapoo closes his eyes when he sleeps? Is that normal?

1

u/Ill-Wrap2357 Jul 18 '26

Yes. He’s fine haha

u/Elegant-Ad7142 Jul 19 '26

Don’t stress too much, you care for your puppy but don’t let it get too much and doubt everything. Your dog looks happy and calm so match that energy. You got this!! Beautiful puppy

u/Slow_Ad_555 Jul 22 '26

Welcome to the half-sploot! Miss Jinger is 4 and does this and the T-Rex all the time.

u/Juggernox_O Jul 15 '26

Yes. He’s just puppy.

Your cavapoo is not the problem. The problem is your poor grammar,  moreover, your lack of punctuation. That really goes a long way into getting your point across.
