# Ryu's Sleep Trials

So, Brandon brings up a good point about Ryu's inability to sleep on *his* bed. Here, we take a look at the evidence: Between the couch and the side table:

Propping his head up on various stuffed toys:

Maybe this could be considered an elevated bed?

From Ryu

UNDER a bed?

From Ryu

How about on some "bedding"?

From Ryu

Or a tile floor...

From Ryu

Buried under his crate bed...

From Pick-me-ups

Using Mom as a bed... Sleeping on the job...

From Ryu in Office

Somewhat near his bed!

We'll start with a few paws...

THanks Pam, that made me laugh.

Too funny. He's such a good looking boy. I love the shot of him buried under his crate bedding. Did he get into that spot when the door was open or closed to the crate? Nemo loves to sleep under the bed in the summer, but rarely does so in the winter. He can hardly sneak under there, but that doesn't seem to bother him.

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T16:15:23.000Z
The crate door was open. I couldn't find him ANYWHERE and was starting to freak out a bit (checking the yard, garage, etc) and then saw him in his crate. Such a silly goof. And thanks! I think he's pretty darn handsome too :)

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-03-25T16:17:08.000Z
You missed my favorite pic - the one where he's sleeping with Tim's boots. Great narrative!

## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-03-25T16:18:09.000Z
Isn't there also a picture of Ryu with his head in his food bowl, dead to the world, as a puppy?

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T16:19:14.000Z
haha.. looks like I'll need to add some more!! *Edited: Added the two requested pics!

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-03-25T16:23:06.000Z
these are awesome!! so cute!

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-03-25T16:40:44.000Z
Thanks! No sleeping thread is complete without those pics!

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T16:44:13.000Z
Ryu is such a sleepy guy too so I have tons and tons of them lol

## sunyata · 2009-03-25T17:00:05.000Z
Awww! That would make a VERY cute children's book. :)

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-03-25T17:11:59.000Z
Where does Ryu sleep... Sometimes Ryu is so sleepy, he can't find his bed. Cany you find Ryu? Insert pic here.

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T17:17:35.000Z
LOL Love it. :)

## CrimsonO2 · 2009-03-25T17:17:37.000Z
LOL, Well based on all these pics, he refuses to be a model for advertising your dog bed line:) B&G Dog Bed: "Your dog will love it! Just look at mine..." Jesse

## KFontaine04 · 2009-03-25T17:25:32.000Z
LOL Jesse!

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T17:35:06.000Z
LOL that was below the belt!

## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-03-25T17:37:41.000Z
lmao! ~

## CrimsonO2 · 2009-03-25T18:13:29.000Z
What? :) It's not like I won't still get one of those B&G beds for my Ichi (little bugger has eaten through his 4th crate bed). Something about the foam inside that gets him all hot and bothered to chew and dig, and chew and dig till he gets it. BTW Pam, I have that very same blanket on my living room couch too (the pic of you passed out and Ryu using you as a bed). Jesse

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T18:16:03.000Z
haha It's OK Jesse :) Ryu treats his bed more as a toy than a sleeping spot. You can probably see all the teeth marks that bed has suffered :)

## Ryu · 2009-03-25T18:16:37.000Z
Haha. We love our couch blankets :)

## lingmorton · 2009-03-25T21:54:34.000Z
great pics, they r so funny! i always catch my lil ones doing that too i love the one whereby "eating is so tiring" lol, i saw koda passed out next to his water bowl with 1 of his big floppy ears soaked in it

## Darwin67 · 2009-03-25T22:09:58.000Z
LOL!! That's a great story..I especially like the "Caught me!"!! You ought to think about your own line of kids books :)

## sujewel · 2009-03-25T22:25:08.000Z
Awesome pix!!! My fave is def the crate one.

## TheWalrus · 2009-03-25T23:15:24.000Z
Excellent pics! I was laughing scrolling through them and had to show the wife :P

## cmmookie · 2009-03-26T02:10:04.000Z
LOL. Ryu is a goof. Great narration!

## starry · 2009-03-26T04:15:35.000Z
narcoleptic falling asleep in his food, he is adorable

tell me how old is he now?

I feel like toki never sleeps, even when I sleep in his room with him he is always doing something

and definitely never lets me get a pic in

## Ryu · 2009-03-26T09:40:59.000Z
haha thanks everyone! He makes us laugh every single day so I thought I'd give you a taste of his silliness :) Cherie: He's 1 year and 5 months old now. It was so emotional looking at his baby pictures but he's grown into such a wonderful man that we certainly can't complain! :) Toki will calm down - Ryu didn't calm down until about 8-9 months and 3 days of daycare each week!

## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-03-26T11:18:19.000Z
Ryu's great! The one of him sleeping on the food bowl is my favourite.

## CrimsonO2 · 2009-03-26T11:29:14.000Z
We should start an "asleep at the dining table" thread. Because I think Casey has one of Bella doing that as a pup if I'm not mistaken. Sadly...mine doesn't fall asleep anywhere unless it's in the car or in his crate. Which is good I guess, but less "awww" moments. Jesse

## SophieMonster · 2009-03-26T17:20:58.000Z
hehe. Love your pics. what a silly shiba. they get so excited and then so tired they just pass out wherever they happen to be standing. :-)
