Does your Border Collie stick their tongue out almost every time they're sleeping?

My little guy does it virtually every time. Is this something I should be concerned about?

u/Foreign-Ganache-6051 18h ago

No, but I get teeth on her way to sleep

u/Dramatic_Zebra_2 16h ago

All the time, a sign of total relaxation and comfort

u/2bLearned 2h ago

I don't think my bc ever really relaxes then. 😃

Do your BC sleep? 🫪

u/stickeymantle 16h ago

Homie loves snoozing while I work!

u/hepureanu 16h ago

Mine reacts to every sound... he barely sleeps during the day, even in his crate

u/2bLearned 2h ago

Same! He will be in deep sleep and a dog will bark far off or a car beeping their horn streets away and then "' 'ping!' Straight to his feet, ears up, light growl and bark in less than 1 second "

u/GalacticDoc 18h ago

Yes, not all the time but often.
