Rescue Dog Has Relatable Reaction to Getting Out of Bed: ‘No Thanks’

When Becca Sim adopted her dog last year, she wasn’t sure how the energetic rescue would cope with city life. But as it turns out, the only problem they’ve had is trying to drag the lazy pup of bed.

When Pippa puts herself to bed in the evening, she hates being disturbed, especially when her owners try to force her to go outside one last time. The rescue dog certainly doesn’t mess around with her bedtime, so when Sim and her partner try to wake her up, she simply refuses to budge for ages, until they finally get her leash and suggest going out for a walk.

Sim, from Brisbane, Australia, told Newsweek that when they adopted Pippa, they were “told she was high energy,” but it seems she’s grown out of that pretty quickly. Instead of running around and causing mischief, Sim explained that Pippa would much prefer to be getting her beauty sleep and snoozing in bed. Who could blame her?

This has become a nightly routine for 22-year-old Sim, who posted the footage on her TikTok account (@beccasimx). The video instantly went viral with more than 593,100 views and 79,400 likes at the time of writing, as people loved the pup’s way of saying “no thanks, I’ll stay in bed with mom.”

Sim continued: “When we adopted Pippa, we were told she’s not used to city life, and they weren’t sure how she would get on living in an apartment. Obviously, we still took her in, and we knew straight away that she was cuddly and loving.

“Every night she gets really sleepy and loved to be cozy. This is her personality about 80 percent of the time, and only the other 20 percent she is playing with her friends or looking for lizards.”

Getting the perfect sleep can be a challenge, but most dogs are more than happy to give it their best shot. As explained by PetMD, dogs will sleep for around 12 hours a day, but puppies and older dogs may need to squeeze in a little more rest. When they’re not sleeping, dogs usually spend 30 percent of their day relaxing and hanging out, so it’s no surprise that Pippa is so exhausted by the end of each day.

When dogs are difficult to wake up, it’s worth keeping note of how often this…
