Foot sticking out?

Both my dogs sleep on their tummy with their one back leg sticking out behind them from under them. Looks uncomfortable to me but they both seem to get into that position automatically when they lie down :? Do your dogs do that?

I can't picture what this looks like but I know Chowder lies in the weirdest positions.

Yep, the younger more flexible dogs can get into some real Yoga inspired positions. In time natural degredation of joints reduces these to less bizarre poses.

Then again it might be doggie Yoga so they can reenergize their bodies for more play.
This doggy yoga, does it help relax them? Can I join in! :) Let's see if I can describe the position...On tummy...bacl leg, and usually only one leg. outstretched with other leg tucked in 8O I'll try to post a pix! Geez, if only I could get into that yoga position!

One back leg sticking straight out is very typical for the breed although a few of mine never did it. As someone mentioned, it also becomes less common to find older ones laying like that.
