Today’s post is inspired by a wonderful activity that I never seem to do as much as I’d like… sleep! (Last night’s lack of sleep was courtesy of a ridiculous thunderstorm. Needless to say, Bella was not a fan.)
- First up, your weekly dose of punny goodness: M. Night Shyamalion and Napawsha Beddingfield. (Those are not my best work, I know. I’ll blame it on being tired.)
- Next, I give you a puppy falling asleep in his water bowl. I feel you, little guy… sometimes no matter how much you want to stay awake, it can’t be done. (Cuteness courtesy of Two Little Cavaliers.)
- Puppies who are fighting the good fight against sleep are always adorable. Exhibit B: this Vizsla puppy. Exhibit C: this fluffy marshmallow.
- In that same vein, I love this video of a gosling (by which I mean baby goose, not Ryan) falling asleep in a little girl’s hand. (Speaking of adorable feathered friends, did I mention that while I was out running the other day I encountered a little girl being followed around by four ducklings? No joke. I bet she also has songbirds that tie ribbons in her hair each morning, squirrels to buckle her shoes, and bunnies to tidy up her bedroom.)
- Side note – while watching each video above, I had the overwhelming urge to shout “Nap Attack!”
- You know, this post is actually the perfect moment to wish an early happy birthday to a champion napper, Garfield. His birthday, in case you are not as big of a Garfield nerd as I am, is June 19. In his honor, here’s a roundup of some of the best catnap videos the interweb has to offer.
Finally, I leave you with a dramatic interpretation of what I look like in the morning when I don’t get enough sleep:

Here’s hoping you have a relaxing weekend… squeeze in a few naps and catch up on that sleep so you won’t be a grump. After all, as Doggie Stylish says, happiness is a warm place to sleep!
Thanks for all of the links…the ones I have looked at are so adorable!!! Have a great weekend! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly
I got hooked, watched all of them and every one of the catnap videos- just great! The Viszla puppy was so adorbs and the cat one above was just like Poppet – always makes me laugh when she sits that way! Have a great weekend 🙂
Cool cat 🙂
Haha! I look like that cat when I wake up too.
OMG, that last video of the cat in his bed cracks me up!
OMD! I had *no idea* Kolchak and Garfield shared more than a deep love of lasagna, they share a birthday too! Thanks for that!
mmm, ryan gosling.
hope you catch a nap attack this weekend,

That video looks like me trying to get out of bed in the morning!! MOL!! Too funny. And I'm still laughing about the little girl that had the ducklings following her home. Too cute!
Hope you are able to get some rest and enjoy your weekend!
Oh gosh, that cat! All that was missing was a butt scratch. 🙂
I hope you are already caught up on sleep, and if not, go take a nap!
Thanks, guys!
Kolchak, I can't think of a better birthday twin!
Chandra, I totally agree. That type of gosling is pretty awesome too.
That's a pretty good interpretation of what I look like, too! Happy Hopping!

That cat! rofl Oh, I can't imagine one sitting there like that! Thanks for my Saturday giggle!
Thank you for the kind words earlier this week. We really appreciate our blogging friends.
And Rusty, who has to be pried out of bed every morning, totally salutes your post.
Thundering Herd – I knew Rusty and I would get along just fine. 🙂
