As much as we are little bundles of energy sometimes, even the most active dog needs some well-deserved downtime. How else are we going to catch up on our beauty sleep? Between our funny poses and odd choice of locations to take a nap, sleeping puppy photographs can be pretty comical to look through. Here are the best 21 pictures of my friends and me catching some Zzzzs.
1. “If you sleep like you are the little spoon, we both can fit in our comfy bed together.”
2. “That’s the spot, right on the belly like that. Now cradle my head and support me. Yes, that’s the way.”
3. “Tucked in and warm for a little afternoon nap. Wake me up before dinner, please.”
4. “Sometimes when I get extra sleepy, my back feet come all the way up to my chinny-chin-chin.”
5.”Oh my! All that running around in the fresh spring grass has left me exhausted!”
6. “Do you know what’s better than snuggle time? Snuggle time with my brothers and sisters!”
7. “Ya know, sometimes we need to be held a little extra tight at night. And, other times, we need to sleep in a sock. Then there are the times when we need both.”
8. “Good night, sleep tight, Mr. Bearington. Tomorrow is another day that will be filled with fun and adventure.”
9. “I take my naps in a portable basket so you can still take me everywhere, even when the sleepies get the best of me.”
10. “When you are extra adorable and extra wrinkled, nobody can tell if you’re an active participant in conversation or nodding off for a little power nap. I’ll let you guess which I am!”
11. “I know I have a fancy, comfy bed, but nowhere feels better than snoozing in my human’s lap.”
12. “And streeeeetch…there we go. All snuggled and cuddled and wonderfully warm.”
13. “A Picture Perfect Pampered Puppy Peacefully Partaking in a good old-fashioned nap. (I dare you to say THAT three times fast!)”
14. “I swear I called shotgun! How did I end up getting stuck in the middle? Oh well, more warmth for me!”
15. “Today’s To-Do List: Sleep, sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Check that one off as Done!”
16. “Sometimes I pretend I’m camping with my humans and practice sleeping extra peacefully in a hammock.”
17. “When you have super long legs like me, things can get a bit unwieldy during nap time.”
18. “Let me see, I have my stuffy, and I have my kitten friend. Yep! The gang’s all here!”
19. “Who loves nap time and has two adorable puppy feet complete with toe beans? This guy right here!!”
20. “I’ll fill you in on a little-known fact. The sleepier puppies get, the more liquid they become.”
21. “I’m going to hold this couch in place for you. Essential job. Must remain here to protect the couch.”
