Let’s be honest—there are dog stories that make you aww, and then there are stories that make you laugh out loud while thinking, “Yep, totally them.”
This is the latter. Meet Birdie and Butters, two Basset Hound sisters who have decided: waking up? Optional.
Especially if the bed is warm, the blankets are soft, and the world outside could wait.
According to a recent article, these ladies refuse to budge. Their human tries to coax them. “Time to get up, girls!” she says.
They stretch. They yawp. They glance over. Then they go right back to cozy. Because in their eyes: why stand when you can stay snuggled?
Here’s the scene: Sunday morning. The alarm chimes. Mom tip-toes into the bedroom. She waves pancakes in one hand, coffee in the other.
Birdie lifts one ear, blink, sigh. Butters rolls over. Blanket pulls up. Game over. Bed wins. The day begins… when they say so.
Now you may ask: “Isn’t that lazy?” No. Let’s call it deliberate comfort. Basset Hounds are bred to be mellow.
Long ears, droopy jowls, chests that nearly scrape the floor—they weren’t built for sprinting. They were built for slow strolls, gentle noses, and naps that feel like life.
Their racing life? It’s over. Their bed time? It’s eternal.
Birdie & Butters aren’t just refusing to leave the mattress—they’re making a statement. They’re saying: “We choose rest. We choose warmth.
We choose you—eventually.” And that kind of attitude? It wins hearts. It makes you stop scrolling. It makes you think maybe waking up early isn’t the only way.
Maybe staying in bed is the plan.
Their humans posted videos. The sisters buried under blankets, ears flopped sideways, yawning like they’d just completed a marathon when really they’d only walked ten feet to get treats.
Comments poured in:
“I need that bed.”
“I felt that deeply.”
“Same, girls. Same.”
But it’s more than just funny. There’s a lesson here. These dogs don’t freak out when the world changes. They don’t sprint at every noise.
They don’t chase every squirrel. They pause. They rest. They snuggle. In a world that glorifies hustle, they’re a reminder that peace, comfort, and connection matter too.
Think about it. How many of us bolt out of bed thinking “productivity!” while these two have mastered “momentum?”
Their day doesn’t begin until the blankets decide it does.
Their alarm isn’t time—it’s self. And they’re fully living it.
So this story isn’t just for anyone who loves dogs—it’s for anyone who ever wished they could pull the covers over and press snooze on life.
For anyone who knows the comfort of a bed that wraps you up and won’t let you go. For anyone who needs the permission to stay just a little longer.
Birdie & Butters aren’t procrastinators—they’re comfort connoisseurs.
And if their bed-bound morning routine makes you smile… maybe it’s because, deep down, you get them.
If this made you chuckle, share it.
Because somewhere is another pair of paws under blankets, someone watching them and thinking: “Maybe I’ll just rest a little longer too.”
And the world? It might just be better for it.
