It’s good to be a dog; you get two meals a day, lots of hugs, and you definitely don’t have to get up early to join the rat race. No, dogs can go easy — as long as they don’t need to go to the bathroom. A Pit Bull named Wrigs really likes to get up at his own pace, as an adorable video online shows.
Wrigs mama Ash documented her lazy girl wake-up routine for us all to see.
We’re sure Ash has to get up early to start his day, but Wrigs — well, Wrigs works on his own time.
“How long until Wrigs gets up?” Ash asked in the video’s onscreen caption.

At 8 o’clock in the morning Wrigs was snoring. By 8:30 he was awake but his head wouldn’t leave the pillow. At 9, his mom took him back and let him rest. So sweet! The Pit Bull didn’t drag himself out of bed until 11 am.
“Yes, she has an iron bladder,” her mom joked in the caption.
Those who commented were okay with Wrigs staying in bed all day. “Well-rested queen,” one person praised. “She’s living my dream,” someone else chimed in. “My kinda girl! She’s not a morning person,” agreed the third person. No, definitely not a morning person that’s for sure.
How Long Do Dogs Sleep?
Dogs are big sleepers. It’s like when dogs are awake they’re just taking a break from sleeping. They will get up, go to the bathroom, eat, and then fall asleep after waking up. Looks good right?
On average, dogs sleep about 50 percent of the day – 12 hours. Their size can certainly change those numbers — larger dogs may need more sleep, while smaller dogs may need less. Beyond that 50 percent, dogs can spend another 30 percent of their day lounging around the house — you know, just hanging out and doing nothing. That means a whopping 80 percent of their time is spent resting. Again, that can change depending on the size of the dog, but that’s a lot of time! Fear not, sleep is very important for a healthy dog. You should only be concerned if their sleep patterns change drastically or they have difficulty falling asleep at night. It is best to consult a veterinarian if either situation occurs.
As for Wrigs, we think he’s just having a sleepy, lazy morning. A good girl like her deserves it very much.
