Question
We got a 9 week golden puppy one week ago.We saw our vet last Wednesday and all was well however it seems that our dog sleeps 90% of the time.Is this normal for a pup?I am beginning to get concerned.

Answer
No worries. When my dog was around that age, he slept 90% of the time too. Now he is really hyper and is awake most of the day. He will stop sleeping so much at around 5months old. Consider yourself lucky now. Because they get really active and need alot of activity when they are older. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. Bye. ^_^
