7.19.12 The Art of Napping

19 Jul

The dogs love when we come back from a walk and they can stretch out on the office floor and on their dog bed and take a nap.  It is funny because I will turn around and Louise will be fast asleep on the dog bed.  Then I turn around again and Sofie has taken over the bed.  I didn’t really think about it until this picture but maybe they are to big for the dog bed.   Come to think of it they are usually half on the floor. Lil’ Sofie does look half off the mat here, doesn’t she?.  Their bed is a mess because shortly before they fell asleep they had some bone tucked underneath one of the sheets and were pulling the bed apart to free the bone.  (Silly dogs – I have been trying to teach them how to do ‘hospital corners,’ but they keep reminding me that they do not have thumbs to fold sheets properly.)  Sofie actually moves around a lot in her nap cycle.  She will start to sleep on the dog bed, then get up and lie right under my chair (so that I can not roll), then over by the door, then right outside the office door….  Louise pretty much stays put on the bed or floor, but occasionally she will lie under my desk with her head on the rollers of my chair.  There have been a few times, when I just can’t keep my eyes open during the day, I have lied on the dog bed with them and caught a nap myself for a few minutes.  Napping is an art that I just don’t have.  Another lesson that I really need to learn from the dogs.

Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

    Naps are good and we can learn from our sweeties, they seem to be able to enjoy a nap no matter where they choose to take one. Chancy loves his bed all messed up. He won’t sleep in a nice neat one. lol Hugs and nose kisses

    My Pointers, Duke and Daeja are champion nappers. We have a saying in our house after a particularly active day. ” A tired Pointer is a good Pointer”

    That’s so funny you mentioned the napping-on-the-computer chair wheels incident…Taylor does it all the time! And then mommy is left in a conundrum: get up from my chair and wake up Taylor and possibly roll over some fur…or just keep on reading blogs? Hmmm….. 😉
