	odd BN behavior?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Since the day I brought her home this BN has claimed the area under the propped strawberry pot as hers. Lately I've noticed that she's been laying there, on her back, still doing the BN sucky-mouth thing. She's actually normally otherwise...good color, eating, comes out to wander and graze. Is she resting or just an odd BN? I couldn't get a great pic, but this sort of gives an idea of what she looks like.

I thought something was seriously wrong but it moved ok when I stuck the net into investigate and its been ok ever since. It maybe the way they sleep perhaps? http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/

Sounds like a happy and well adjusted BN (just has that renowned BN personality going is all) Dex

That is normal. ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

Ok, I know what your think, what the hell are you on about but you never know

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I thought something was seriously wrong That was my first thought. I watched her for a while and she seemed quite content...like I said, still doing the BN-sucky-mouth, just not attached to anything. Perhaps it was asleep sucking on the plant pot and just los its grip and fell off Not crazy at all, she normally does clean under the pot upside down. Since it seems this might be a sleeping/resting position maybe she dozed off while cleaning, fell off, and didn't bother to get back up.
