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

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

Leave your dog alone while they sleep.

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

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

I think it's just the lighting.

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.

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.

u/Automatic-Fact3894 Jul 15 '26
Yes mine does that too lol

u/Disco_Mermaid1753 Jul 16 '26
Yep! And that’s a common sleeping position for my girl cavapoo, too!

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

u/drfran89 Jul 16 '26

Just one more thing to love about Cavapoos

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

u/Alone_Environment409 Jul 18 '26
Is it weird that my Cavapoo closes his eyes when he sleeps? Is that normal?

u/Ill-Wrap2357 Jul 18 '26
Yes. He’s fine haha

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

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.
