Is it normal for newf pups to sleep 20 hours a day? I remember with my first newf, Hightower, calling the vet twice in the first month I had him home about how much he was sleeping.... all was well. That has been almost 18 years ago. Now Webster is home, 8 weeks old, went to the vet yesterday for round two of shots and deworming, Vet said he would sleep a lot....but geeeeez. He is up and playing hard for 30 minutes, then just flakes for 4 hours. You can't hardly wake him up. I pick him up to put him in his crate, he will open his eyes, but just has that "please just let me sleep" look. Then up again, eat, poo, pee, play and within 30-45 minutes is back sound asleep! (he was awake and very playful last night from 3:00-4:30am though!) Just like a newborn baby! This is all okay? Right?
