Rhodesian Ridgeback Trying to Stay Awake but Falling Asleep

My ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tambo - who is about 2.5 years old in this video - tries his best to stay awake. We had been outside hiking for a few hours earlier, he had just finished his dinner, and he was ready to mail it in for the day.

@cmbosis and even sometimes when he felt the room was too cold, he would slap the fan switch with his tail...... If you are thinking about getting a dog... and maybe you have children don't worry. These are great animals. They only circumstances an RR will be violent is when all of the following apply 1. The dog is male 2. The dog is in heat 3. The dog is being held in an unsafe way, I.E. around the neck 4. Some person who should not be around dogs in the first place decides to blow on his face

We loved our RR so much that we gave him his own room, later, when he began becoming a genius dog, he began biting the door handle to his room, so as to let himself get out. When he began developing guard dog skills, self trained (we believe no dog should be trained into a weapon defensive or otherwise) he began doing the same to Me/My GF's door, then every night at exactly 11:27 pm he would wake up, open his door, come check on me and the current girl I was with ;) and then shut our door.....
