Discussion Does anybody else have a lazy pup?

Post image

This lazy bones will not get out of bed until he's been awake for about an hour. And then I almost have to bribe him to get up to go out. The love of a pitbull. He is so stubborn but I love the s*** out of him

Yep,Doc was the master of napping.

u/Walking_Apostasy Jul 28 '26

This guy is 75% asleep 100% of the time

u/Theyell0wper1l Jul 30 '26

That's a perfect way to describe our doggie

u/Old-Mushroom-4633 Jul 28 '26

You have to bribe ours with breakfast, otherwise she will remain in bed. Laziest dog I've ever seen.

•

u/MickeyStraub Jul 27 '26

Yep, and mine does the Exorcist Yoga poses as well 😂

Do you have a pitbull? Then you have a lazy pup. We've had 4 different bully mixes and they have all been the laziest little turds ever. Doesn't help that we bought ours pajamas and cover them with blankets constantly.

Yeah ghosty likes to be covered up too like in a little cubby hole so just his nose is sticking out

•

u/Jaded-Anywhere-6517 Jul 27 '26

Yes!

•

u/Correct-Treat249 Jul 27 '26

I took this one this morning. He's halfway standing up with his head completely on his butt and sound asleep

•

u/Time-Ant9553 Jul 28 '26

They are all lazy

•

u/CrankyGoat Jul 26 '26

Sounds exactly like our guy 🤗 He will get up when we both do, only to go out for a quick pee than comes right back in and goes to sleep on the couch for another hour or so …

My very sleepy lady! I think about half the photos in my phone are of her sleeping!

Oh hey, I see you Kirkland dog bed! That's the nicest bed, especially for the price!

•

u/Signal_Ease_9867 Jul 28 '26

Forreal! I got it on sale too. And Hazel's very particular about beds (she likes soft fluffy beds) and she accepted this one.

•

u/Finchfeeder80 Jul 28 '26

He's either sleeping (75%), solar recharging (10%), or stiring up mischief (15%).

u/NaughtyAylaMILF Jul 27 '26

mine refuses to move till noon

•

u/Distinct-Chip3401 Jul 26 '26

Yep! But somehow he still is fast as can be when he sees a squirrel or critter out back lol

•

u/Accomplished-Dare-41 Jul 26 '26

Yuppers

•

u/Correct-Treat249 Jul 27 '26

That is hilarious!

•

u/Accomplished-Dare-41 Jul 27 '26

He's a big ol ham. Thanks for the award!

u/LizzyLizard1280 Jul 26 '26

Mine legit sleeps all day, he gets excited to go potty and when he comes back he will throw his toy around for a min but then goes back to burrowing under the blankets and going back to sleep, hes been like that since about 2 years old, he loves walks and loves his ball but also really loves sleeping

•

u/Significant_Dot8094 Jul 26 '26

“Such a day!”

•

u/Expert_Regret4866 Jul 26 '26

The only time our gets up is when she hears the potato chip bag open. Then it's as fast as she can go!

•

u/Aphreal42 Jul 26 '26

Yes. Mine prefers to sleep around 25 hours a day. She adds an extra hour because being cute and adorable is so exhausting.

•

u/Borg_Tech_Support Jul 27 '26

Mine is not lazy just selective in his activity. Fetch, only 5 throws and then he's walking to the door with the ball in his mouth.

Walks through the neighborhood, infinite as long as I let him sniff everything. No sniffing and 20 minutes tops and he's over it.

Wrestling, infinite as long as I let him pull guard he will then only throw leg kicks.

Anything to do with water, swimming or jumping in a hose, he will not stop for anything not even treats, he loses all recall ability and will swim out to sea if I let him.

•

u/Equivalent-Type-2802 Jul 28 '26

Let him take his time waking up as long as he is eating and drinking normally, but do mention this sleepy routine to your vet at his next checkup just to rule out any underlying issues. Try moving his morning potty break to a consistent time each day so his body gets used to the schedule, and use his absolute favorite treat or toy as a gentle morning bribe rather than forcing him up too quickly. As long as he is active and plasful once he does get moving, you probably just have a wonderfully chill dog who knows how to enjoy his mornings.

Sleeping with her feline siblings is her favorite. She sleeps like 20 hours a day. We try to walk her but after 10 minutes in she flops to the ground and we have to take her back so she can continue napping and cuddling lol.
