17 Puppies That Love Sleeping in Your Comfy Laps

I started writing hours ago, but do you know how hard it is to stay awake while you write about sleeping? Being a puppy is hard work. There is so much to explore and sniff. We’re still trying to figure out the most adorable face to use that will get us snacks and extra puppy chow. So sometimes, we just have to fall asleep. It just happens. Whether it’s your lap or any other part of you, all we need is a place to feel safe — though a tummy-full of snacks doesn’t hurt.
