What I love about my sweet old dog is her ability to nap anywhere. She reminds me of my dad when he was a beat cop. He changed shifts every 5 weeks and became a professional napper!
When he was home, if he was sitting still for more than five minutes at a time, he'd nod off and catch 40 winks - just like that!
You snooze, you don't lose..at least not today.
Happy National Napping Day!

This soulful wee dog was found by a Muttville volunteer running down a busy street. No one came to claim this sweet little black Chihuahua, and due to his age, color and breed he didn’t stand a chance in a shelter.
Muttville was happy to take this little boy Licorice in, he is super sweet, and he knows that he hit the jackpot! Now he needs a forever home. He is quiet and gets along with everyone, dogs and all humans! We think he is 10 years old and he weighs 10 pounds.
Come meet this sweet little guy at Muttville.
