Doggy sleep question

Hey...

I just wanted to ask a quick question.. Any help would be appreciated
My dog Roxie sleeps with me at night, but I've noticed that when she
does periodically she will shake or whine, usually both at the same
time.
Now I know snoring can be normal for dogs... but is this? Should I be
concerned?
Its almost like shes having a really bad dream like every night a
couple times a night, because if I wake her up buy saying her name or
patting her she stops.

shelly...
That's certainly what it sounds like.

I had a dog who--aside from snoring--laughed like a hyena in his
sleep. They were actually muted little barks, which is funny in
itself, because he wasn't normally a barky dog.


Anyway thanks in advance
Will

Most dogs dream at some point. My dog dreams almost every. If it seems
like a bad dream, that is she's whining and whimpering, I'll gently say her
name and wake her. If she's kicking her legs like she's running and appears
to be having a good dream, I just leave her alone. - - Les
