Westie pup being a grumpy bum during sleeptime
My 11 month old westie boy is generally a really happy, social and friendly dog. It’s not causing any issues per se, but I’ve noticed he becomes a cranky sensitive old man when it comes to sleep time 😂
If he’s nodding off and you move an inch, he’ll do a low growl/huff and dramatically storm off… only to come back moments later because he still wants to be sleeping on or next to you 😆 He’s never aggressive about it at all, and honestly it’s mostly funny because we do everything possible to make him comfortable.
Last night my partner started snoring and the dog literally did a grumpy little growl in response because he was annoyed at being disturbed. Tiny exhausted pensioner trapped in a westie body.
It’s been happening pretty consistently over the last week or so and I was just curious whether anyone else has experienced this with their dog — especially terriers? Is this just adolescent dog behaviour / being sleep sensitive?
