What word finishes the idiom Let sleeping dogs?
The idiom is: Let sleeping dogs lie. It means, don't aggravate a person or situation when it is already calm or calmed down. Example: "I hate her," Julie fumed three days after a girl insulted her at school. "I'll show her!" "The principal already took care of the problem," her mother counseled. "She has been expelled for a week and won't be bothering you again--let sleeping dogs lie." "The welfare office took away $50 in food stamps!" "Yes, but they didn't make you re-pay them when you earned $300 from your job. It might be better to let sleeping dogs lie." NOTE 1: The word dogs refer to dogs, not that you are calling someone a dog. NOTE 2: The word lie, here, means a sleeping dog, and does not mean a person as a liar. One origin of this idiom is that a dog can be cranky when abruptly awoken, and can attack. So it is better to not disturb the dog.

Is doxylamine safe for dogs?
I assume you want to administer over the counter sleeping pills to a dog. There is a lot of documenation available for giving dogs diphenhydramine which is the same ingrediant in Benydryl and in most over the counter sleeping pills. So I recommend sticking to Benydryl or an OTC sleeping pill with diphenhydramine and not expiramenting with doxylamanine. Benydryl dosage should be 1 mg for every 10lbs of dog. A 20lb dog should take 2mg of diphenhydramine.
