Alexander so esteemed his painter that he presented Campaspe to Apelles as a reward for the portrait. The tale of Alexander and Apelles, a favorite of Renaissance and Baroque painters, celebrates the power and nobility of painting. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo painted this episode at least three times.
However even 18 hours is not considered abnormal for a Chihuahua. This includes naps.There are 2 types of sleeping. One is a lighter sleep (called slow wave) and the other is the deeper sleep (known as REM-Rapid Eye Movement). Dogs, just like humans do have these 2 different types of sleep.
Puppies sleep anywhere from 18 to 20 hours a day. Certain breeds, particularly large and giant breed dogs, tend to sleep extended periods of time, even as adults. So if you have a mastiff, Great Dane, Saint Bernard, Newfoundland or Great Pyrenees, donât be surprised if he spends 16 to 18 hours a day catching some zâs.
