Our dogs sleep in weird positions
A loud thumping came from Gavin’s crate. I wondered what he was doing so I peeked. All I saw was a white butt and four white feet in the air. Can you say relaxed? He loves to sleep upside down in his crate. He’s done it since he was a puppy. I’d try to snap a picture but that never works. As soon as I get close to the crate, he springs to life and his feet.
In the meantime, Patty had sacked out on the couch with her head buried under a pillow. I have no idea how she can breathe like that but she often sleeps that way. Then there’s her butt on the pillow position, which cracks me up. Look on the Bullpen page and you’ll find a picture.
Our old female, Sadie used to sleep next to DH on his chair. She’d sleep so soundly that when DH went to bed and shifted her onto the entire seat cushion she never noticed.
Our old male, Malcolm was another one who regularly slept on his back with all four feet in the air. They look like bloated road kill when they do that in the middle of the floor.

Doggonedmysteries 
Snipe does the road kill thing a lot. She also curls into an impossibly tiny ball, surely crushing her internal organs in the process? Or, as she is at the moment, she sprawls, defying all natural laws to take up twice the area that she actually covers. When she does this, she also doubles in weight. I know. She normally does it on my bed.
That’s called the ‘I know you want to move me so I will become immovable’ stance.
Mandy would sleep on her back with legs raised like Gavin does. Harley never did. Her thing was sleeping in MY bed with her head on MY pillow, body under MY covers, lol
