Don't all great wabbits have speech impediments.

Wabbit hunters do. I thought rabbits just have strong accents? 🙂

A while ago we had an animated bunny who advertised chocolate bars in this country, she had a very strong region accent- so maybe its a thing.

Back on (my) topic- other good Buffy-bunny names: Sid- Sid the Bunny, Darla, Spike.
 
Dog owners: is jerking about (sort of trying to run and moving mouth) in sleep and high pitched squeaky barking (whilst asleep!) a trait in anxious dogs, or is that just normal?

My dog does this all the time in his sleep. Everytime! He also goes off his food sometimes and won't eat until night time!

Most likely he's having an exciting dream. My dogs always used to jerk about in their sleep like they were chasing the world's biggest rabbit/cat/car or whatever.

The squeaking in a new one on me though, one of my dogs did used to huff and gruff quietly whilst asleep- but that was fairly low and quiet, like he was contemplating something important. 🙂

Yeah I figured the jerking/running in sleep must be normal, I remember that youtube video of the poor dog running into the wall whilst asleep!

The squeaking is so high-pitched! It's like a bark, like a "mmrrff" but a squeaking, LOUD bark! It wakes the baby up! Maybe he's dreaming about the dog on our street that he doesn't like.

Could be. Dogs tend to show their anxiety in many conscious ways rather than subconscious (they're not as complex/repressive as people). Such as excessive scratching, peeing in the house, restless- being unable to sleep for long periods of time and being hyper vigilant while they're awake.
Otherwise I wouldn't worry, he's probably dreaming of giving jerk-dog his comeuppance. 🙂
 
Oh he's an obsessive paw cleaner too! He likes trying to clip his own nails! He is a little mental case. He fits in well in our house I suppose.
 
My dog only jerk/make noises in sleep when she's understimulated so I tend to feel a bit bad when that happens. No rest for the wicked with a furball like mine!

Really? Never heard of a dog doing that! Lol. (I mean the nails. Does he succeed?)

My first dog was an obsessive paw cleaner and got a lot of paw problems as a result (sigh... bandaging paws is a pain... especially when you have two and they work as a team to get it off). When we switched up her kibble it stopped so in her case I think it was allergies.

Oh really? Is that the case for all breeds? If anything, he is overstimulated! I'd say the more tired he is from his big walks/runs the more frantic he gets in his sleep! He is so strange.

I don't think he does! He can never be precise enough as he usually sticks his whole paw in his mouth! I think he trolls me.

Maybe he needs to train to be passive. My first dog was crazy overstimulated and we had to put a lot of work into training her how to be relaxed and calm. 🙂 I think it's probably more up to personality of the dog then breed.

Haha, troll dog! I'd like for my dog to be able to take care of that herself. Nail maintenance is a snooze fest

I do think it's in his nervous personality maybe to have the dreams and squeaky barks? Maybe it's cathartic for him and he wakes up calmer, haha :')
I have a 15 month old Beagle called Homer. We've had him since he wad 8 weeks old.

He's the first dog I've ever owned and I never thought I could love an animal so much. I'm one of those annoying people that treat their dogs like their children 🙂

He's very intelligent and highly active and we can't let him off lead when we walk him because he's a scent hound and if he gets a scent he's off, no matter how much you try to bribe him back with treats lol.
 
Because I'm technologically challenged, I can't figure out how to put a picture up.

But I'm the proud mum of two budgies- Blair and Bridget (...Yeah I really like the name Blair... Bite me) I've had Blairy boy for three years and Bridgy for two years. Bridgy is a boy... I thought he was a girl when I got him but no, he's not. I love them both to bits. Bridgy generally hates everyone apart from Blair, but Blair likes to sit on you occasionally. He likes the toys in his cage better though.

Your own computer (unless it's a server) will not host pictures, so you have to put them on a hosting site like photobucket or imgur (I use photobucket). Then you can copy the URL for the image on photobucket, come back to this site and select the image icon from the top line (beside the smiley). It will prompt you for the URL and you just paste it in place and hit "insert". Like this:

This is a picture of Toby the Border Collie in front of a Zambian drum. The drum skin still has the fur on it.
