Let Sleeping Dogs Lie


Skeeter is a toy poodle from Chubbuck, Idaho (Say that city 3 times fast) Skeeter is a rare narcoleptic dog who falls asleep when he gets excited. When he gets his food, sees his humans or meets another dog, Skeeter collapses into a deep sleep. When he sees his leash and knows he gets to go on a walk, bam... out like a light. The family takes him anyway in a baby stroller. It's a good thing they love Skeeter because he needs to be hand fed in small bites to get nourishment. Narcoleptic dogs are rare, but they have been studied since the '70s. Standford even bred a colony of narcoleptic Dobermans. Hmmm, I wonder how they get them to mate? P.S. This is not Skeeter..... P.S.S That can't possibly be a regular size Chapstick, could it?
