Puppies have one of the busiest schedules in the animal kingdom. Between chewing things they shouldn't, tripping over their own paws, and being outrageously cute for anyone nearby, they still need somewhere between 18 and 20 hours of sleep a day. Unsurprisingly, they aren't fussy about where they get it.

A shoe works. A lap works better. A baseball cap, apparently, counts as a five-star suite. Some puppies collapse belly-up in the middle of playtime, others burrow into blankets or a pair of welcoming arms, and most end up in positions that would give a chiropractor pause, twitching noses and paddling paws included.

The photos below come from Dogspotting, a Facebook group where dog lovers share the canines they come across in everyday life. Scroll through slowly, and don't be surprised if you need a nap, or a puppy, by the end.

My two boys, born three years apart, used to do this when the youngest could walk. They had separate bedrooms but this is what we would see in the morning. Finally, we decided we might as well put their beds next to each other.
