i have my first dog, a yellow lab, named duke. he is 1 1/2 years old. i am home all day with him, and i noticed that he sleeps a lot, and doesn't want to go outside too much, unless i am out there. is this normal? he checked out of the humane society with a clean bill of health and is up to date with his shots...my friends gave him to me, and they took him to the vet recently for a check up and he was declared healthy by them too.
that said, would this be normal dog behavior? he is playful and happy, eats a lot and drinks a lot...i have never owned a dog before, so i am not sure if they are supposed to sleep this much. i have had cats, and i know they sleep most of the day, and he is sleeping as much as a cat would. it's also really hot out...
i hate to sound silly, but i was just wondering. thank you.
