Gucci has been having trouble keeping track of the test of the tribe so I hung a sign to show her which way they went. She checks it a couple of times a day.

What is going on with her Bob? Is she sleeping? Why doesn't she sleep in a sitting pose? Is she fitting?

I’ve seen silkies do that too when they’re nodding off, face first into the ground.

Oh I see! I had no idea it was normal behaviour for some breeds.

I can’t find it now but someone else posted a picture of a Polish doing that.
I tried to tag Bob but then lost all connectivity and then it wasn’t findable.

Thanks RC. Well I'm glad she's ok. Although in Bob's shoes, it'd take me a while to get used to it!

I’ve seen videos on Instagram of Polishes doing just that, like little old men nodding off!

It would give me a heart attack every time! And I suspect it does for Bob too.

I found the post I had read before - looking again I am not sure it is a Polish - but it is definitely playing dead!
@BY Bob I meant to tag you to this when I first saw it and prompted by MJ asking I managed to find it again.

I am getting worried for @Ribh. Has anyone heard from her. I am really hoping she is OK.
Get well really soon Ribh - we need you and so do your ladies!

I was hoping to see that Ribh had posted.
