One of the things that no one ever tells you about being a dog owner is this: they are never cuter than when they're sleeping. That's why they say to let sleeping dogs lie. Well, not really, it's mostly because doggos need around 12-14 hours of sleep per day, but also because we love to watch them feel so at peace in our home. Plus, they often fall asleep in the most ridiculous of pawsitions, and we don't want them to wake up before we snap a quick pic of them!

One of our doggos is known for her strange choices of pawsition while sleeping. One second she's lying on her back with her feet in the air, and the next, she's just a salad of limbs sticking in every direction pawssible that you can't tell where she ends and where she begins. Trust us, we have the camera roll to prove it. If you've gotten this far, you're probably itching to see some of these derpy doggos already, so scroll down and enjoy the most peaceful puppers twisted like pretzels the internet has to offer. Enjoy!

  • Once, we fell asleep standing up. To be fair, we had morning workouts every day at 5 AM, and then went to a very boring English lecture class at 8 AM. Our teacher asked us all to stand up and read something in turns. While waiting for our turn, we closed our eyes, and the next thing we know, we woke up from hitting the floor. Fun times!

  • Airplane mode, activated! We've heard of airplane ears before (that thing cats do with their ears when they're upset), but we've never seen a dog relax like this. Puppies are so silly! We need ten of them… right now.
