Why does my puppy sleep with a paw in her mouth

Why does my puppy sleep with a paw in her mouth2007-11-25 2:56:43

We have a 9month old Husky/Labrador. She is still in her chewing stage and we have everything-we think-a rope, bones, Bimples-like a nylabone, and a kong to play with and encourage chewing. She's healthy-all shots-groomed, etc.We take her on 30 minute brisk walks daily, and throw a ball around for her in the yard. She's always full of energy! Sometimes when she lays down to relax on her side she'll have a paw in her mouth. It's cute but what causes that? We've had her since she was 4 months old, and she just recently started doing this. My wife thinks it may be like a pacifier or a security blanket. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answers:

It's the doggie version of sucking her thumb. My dog did it too for a while.


shes probably so used to chewing something all the time that she just does it without relizing.
its probably liek her binkie
your wife is right. it is like thumbsucking but unfortunately dogs dont have any thumb.
I think it's cute! It's probly thumb-sucking.
