To Nap Or Not To Nap

Tummy Up for Nap Time!

That is the question – but not to a dog. We dogs love a good nap or two or three, especially if the weather is warm.  There is nothing better than finding a good spot, going “tummy up” and enjoying chasing squirrels in our dreams. Now you humans maybe wondering if napping might be good for you too. 

Naps can help increase your alertness and your physical performance by helping you to recharge.  I might move slowly before a nap, but after a good one, I am ready to chase that ball.  Sometimes after a stressful day, maybe a thunderstorm went through, a nap will help reduce my stress and anxiety. Now I have heard some humans say that napping can reduce your food cravings, but I am a corgi, so that doesn’t cut it for me.  Finally and this is the most important one – a nap makes you happy.  Did you ever see a dog wake up from a nap and not be happy? 

So take a nap today – I know I will.
