Oh I love to sleep!

Written by Rachel Phelps

Today’s topic is near and dear to any dog’s heart..oh we love to sleep! And I’m not an exception! Actually I’m dozing off as I type this. Experts who I guess are paid to watch us sleep(what a boring job!) says we sleep on average 14 -16 hours a day if you count all our mini naps! The experts also aren’t sure why we sleep so much which I think is funny. All they have to do is ask us dogs and we will tell them. We sleep because we are tired..duh! I also sleep out of boredom. There just isn’t much to do in my crate when my parents go to work so it is a perfect time for a little nap. I have a nice bed I spend a lot of my time under..yep you read that right..I like to sleep under by bed. I make a cave out of my crate and mommy finally felt sorry for me and put some blankets down so I’m now not sleeping on the plastic crate bottom. I don’t sleep in my parents bed like other dogs because according to mommy I’m not dependable to not have an accident in the middle of the night. I also like to sleep on my back too…its gets all the oooh and ahhhh because I look cute but little do they know it is because I’m hot. Since I have less fur on my tummy I can cool off quicker .

Well, I’m getting so tired writing about sleeping..…I’m ready for a nap…sweet dreams!!!
