You know we all have the mornings when just pressing snooze is the best decision.
Particularly those frigid winter days when getting out of your warm bed seems like an insurmountable challenge.
However, our furry companions are creatures of habit and like the rest of us, have trouble rising as well.
While I scroll through Instagram the other day, I came across this adorable video that made my day!
It showed a cute as a button Dachshund dog called Winnie going for a car ride with her mom, Hailey.
Dog owners know better; an unfulfilled dog despises road trips.
They’re spending all the time to the window, absorbing the passing world in as they go by, wanting to feel wind on their face.
However, this go-round Winnie had other plans.
The Battle Against Sleep
Obviously, Winnie was not super well rested from the night before.
Her attempt to put her head out the window for some fresh air while staying awake was adorable and relatable.
And she battled valiantly with the temptation to pass out because she did not want to miss any time with mom
It followed her little efforts to stand on two feet as she struggled to stay awake.
In the age-old battle v sleep, sleep prevailed and she curled up in her blanket for a nap.
Internet Fame
Then, of course, Hailey put the video on her own account and BOOM.
Viewers commented away on this dull sight.
“This is the cutest thing I’ve seen in my life,” one person gasped.
A different response, urged, “Ur a heck of a sleepy pup Winnie!”
She made struggle sound like every one’s sleepy struggle.
One said: “She was propped up with her little elbow,” while another commented on her arm being like “she’s a truck driver lolol.
User @alisonpd pointed out her dog mimicking those habits as well, saying: “My pup would do the same with her arm; it must be a dachshund thing.”
Winne may have longed to be the ultimate passenger princess but underneath it all she was just a sleepy beauty.
The Cutest Nap
Instead, the way this little Dachshund acted warmed hearts while also surprisingly resonated with our own sleepy fights among us.
After all, who doesn’t want to snuggle and snooze if they get the chance?
Winnie has her charms; I imagine we’d all step up to be her prince!
Winnies story is particularly special because it.s the kind of dog lover you can relate to, anywhere.
We have all seen our pets try to fight sleep on car rides or while playing; it is during moments like this that we remember their innocence.
This isn’t all about being cute; this is about the real bond we have with our pets.
This little struggle of Winnie mirrors our day to day routines — balancing responsibilities, longing for comfort and rest.
The Joy of Sharing
And, if you had a moment like behaves that Winnie did thanks to social media, it can go viral for the world to see and celebrate together in unison.
And that is why pet videos go viral — the simple but deep joy it brings to watch something like this unfold.
Every comment and share can help build a collective love for these adorable beings who spread joy and playfulness every day.
In a world that feels increasingly troubling, something as wholesome and enjoyable like this is a breath of fresh air.
So cheers to Winnie and all the other dogs out there who remind us that we sometimes need nothing more than an electric blanket and a nap!
