I have narcolepsy and cataplexy. Most people with cataplexy can “fight” the attack to some degree, which really just prolongs the inevitable but does not completely block the attack. But when you give up this attempt to resist or fight the loss of muscle strength, the paralysis comes on fully. So here we see two dogs that are basically having partial paralysis because they are struggling so hard to play. When one of them finally goes, it makes the other relax or be submissive.


those dogs aint ya, they can take that. i pats my rotweiler to when she does something good. doesnt feel pain


Well they probably know exactly how each other is feeling. And cataplexy is caused by emotions. So if one sees the other drop he probably just gets so worried about him that he drops too. lol. Kinda cute. Two peas in a paralyzed pod. ha ha.


Whys he hit ‘em so hard ? Idiot.


its amazing how both of them get down at the same time
