Doggie Dreams
Doggie Dreams–I am not referring to people dreaming about dogs and what is the meaning in all of that, but rather wondering about Jasmine’s dreams and your pup’s dreams. At least once a day in one of Jasmine’s long resting periods she will begin to make noises–little mini barks, twitch around, whine and appear to be having a very active dream. Sometimes she seems disturbed, sometimes perplexed and sometimes just happy as she makes little sighing noises.
I often look at her and listen and make up in my head what she might be dreaming about. Research on dog’s dreams indicate they needs dreams just like humans. It helps to purge their thoughts and helps them with their memory retention. Today as she is dreaming, laying at my feet I wonder if she is dreaming about the little doggie’s we passed on our walk today. They were very loud and barky and really wanted to chomp Jazz’s ears off. Jazz wagged and just looked at them like “what?”. Or is she dreaming about the dog she barked at and about jumped through our door at this morning? Maybe the big, bad garbage truck that came up from behind us a couple of days ago? Is she dreaming with concern about the carpet we ripped out last night and threw into a dumpster? After all that was her scratching, rolling, playing, chasing area. She might be dreaming about cheese (her favorite thing in the world) or maybe about laying in the kitchen as we bake her treats and she gets lots of tastes.
Whatever she is dreaming I hope it is happy and peaceful. I hope when she awakens she is happy to see her reality here in the office with mommy working and jazz playing on the radio. I hope all our dogs have waggin’ delightful dreams. What do you think your doggie dreams about?
