Lying on a bed and sleeping is easy - any young pup can do it, but it takes
years of practice and considerable skill to excel at the art of off-bed sleeping
(the wolfhound equivalent of off-piste skiing), as Branigan demonstrates in
a short master-class. |
A Master Class in Sleeping ~ by Branigan |
First, the elementary position, a good starting point for those struggling with the concept. |
. . . then a 90 degree roll establishes the second (intermediate) position. |
The body is then turned parallel to the bed, allowing all four limbs to be fully
supported . . . |
. . . and the resumption of deep, satisfying, wolfhound sleep. |
Warning: we recommend that young dogs attempt this only under adult supervision. |
The process begins with a gentle slide from the bed . . . |
Next, the intermediate roll is reversed, so facilitating a further slide onto the floor. |
A full body twist is then performed (quite advanced, this) so that as the rear end
slides off the bed, the front swivels round. |
