In a recent discussion, I mentioned that sleeping with Evelyn is a disaster and Jerry was musing about it, wondering what it sounds like. I have a bit of an answer, though in all honesty this is not what full volume can sometimes be.
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Jerry also wanted a video of jilly snoring since the idea of a kitty snoring is pretty amusing. I've been trying but her little baby snore is nothing compared to beautiful miss Evelyn's!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Love love love it! The snoring is funny, but that twitching nose and her tongue sticking out is the cutest thing ever!
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

That so sounds like Sassy sometimes. Sometimes she will be sleeping in another room and I can hear her. LOL. So cute. Go Evelyn.

I have been pretty lucky with my pugs so far, but my uncle had a pug that not only couldn't sleep in the same room with you, he really needed to be on a separate floor!

I have gone to jab and yell at the hubby when I realized it was actually Daisy doing the snoring.
I think her and Evelynn may just be soul sisters!
Does Evelynn also clear the room with her farts?
If so they ARE!
Snoring yes, farting no. Dakota was our gas master. Evelyn is a dainty flower.

Forget the snoring, watching her sleep is the cutest thing!
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
Love the tongue! She's noisy, but still pretty cute.
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
I have to agree...the tongue out and face twitching are the best part 
Many scratches to Miss Evelyn!
Miss L was a snorer, twitcher and a complete bed hog...and definitely not always a dainty flower, gotta love when their own gas scares them or makes them leave the room

Oh Bubbles is just as bad!! There's moments she gets "stuck" and I'm worried she cant even inhale! I love the tongue and twitching too. They are such hams!
ah ha! I finally caught Jill in the act. I've been trying and trying to catch her snoring but since shes a kitty its such a low volume I've had to wait for it to be loud enough.........this should do it if you turn your volume WAY up!
