Title: Chin on his back
Post by: texchin on September 26, 2011, 08:03:33 AM

My chin likes being on his back. He wedges himself between a house and a shelf--belly side up. He sleeps this way and he also chews on the shelf while on his back. Is this normal?

Chins sleep in odd positions, being on his back would mean he feels comfortable, so that is a good sign for me.

i'd say it's perfectly fine. they can be whacky. luella, one of mine, can lie down anywhere and fall asleep. the rest never sleeps on their side. so i would imagine there must be some out there that like sleeping on their back! ;)

Whew! I'll post a pic of the silly boy when I get home. Edit--here he is now. Upside down and asleep. It's from my phone and from a distance--so hopefully you can still see it.
