    As dogs get older the sleep more. There probably isn't anything wrong, but if you're concerned then talk to your vet about it.

    If there isn't any medical problem dogs will sleep simply because they are bored. If they don't have another dog to play with or enough toys to entertain themselves they will simply go take a nap. Not much different than humans. Bored, go to sleep. So he just needs some more stimualtion, play time or someone to play with. I have been in rescue and rehab for 23 yrs and I see this a lot. They get bored -go take a nap. Nothing really to worry about. Maybe find him/her a bud if you're willing to take on another little fur kid. Otherwise entertain him a few times a day by fetch and other games.
