You are supposed to lay a newspaper under the dog's head when he dreams. Take that newspaper and put it under your pillow, and you will dream the same dream your dog did. Jim

Be sure you have your leash on, you might get arrested for chasing Cats.

My golden retriever sniffed at the mask when I first got it but ignores it now, and he sleeps on the bed with me. Before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, he used to wake me up occasionally with a kiss and a concerned look on his face, he doesn't do that anymore with CPAP. I have always wondered if he woke me up when I stopped breathing for too long. I foster labs also, and occasionally let them up on the bed to sleep. Most of them sniff at the mask and then ignore it, if they don't, they get kicked off the bed.

Vader, you are one sick "puppy"! ROFLMAO!!!

Course, this comes from a guy whose Jack Russel Terrier got dressed up in a "Hot Dog" outfit for Halloween, complete with bun and mustard across her back and a bearded dragon lizard that got dressed up as Santa last Christmas. LOLOL

Yep, that was me. I wonder why ALL of my logins have been reset (not just this website)? I asked DH if he cleared my cookies but he hadn't.

I have 2 dogs, a 1 year old Chihuahua, Homer. He is a bit scared of it. I will sometimes chase him with my mask on. He doesn't like the hose either, but he will come lick the air coming out of it when I am lying down.
My other dog is a 4 year old hound mix, Cassie, she could care less. She's like "Whatever, Just let me sleep."

Slightly off topic as Bear (the ferocious fearsome fuzzy dog) could care less, but the cat does. He appears to have decided that since I belong to him and it is attached to me it also belongs to him. He rubs against it to claim it when he jumps up for an ear rub in the morning.

My dog, a German Shorthair Pointer, was a little skittish at first when he saw the mask on me, but once I spoke, the tail wagged and he now pays no attention at all.

Back to the question...my dog did not like it at first, but being my Service Dog, she takes my mask pretty seriously. I took it off and laid it on the floor for her to inspect. I carefully watched for a hind leg being raised, but she looked it over, sniffed and laid down. That was it.

Vader, is that the sister you were going to fix me up with? At least she is prettier than you NO????javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
Laughing

PS I forgot, the wife just reminded me. Our dog's FIRST action was to jump on me and "ALERT" the wife. She is trained to stand over me and bark to "Alert" my wife or even strangers that I have fallen and need help. She must have thought the mask indicated something bad, but at least she did the right thing As I said above, now she ignores it..
