#NationalNappingDay (Cuteness Alert!)

 Today is National Napping Day,   a day that was originally created in honor of many of us losing sleep due to the clocks "springing forward" for daylight saving time.

Cats and Dogs have always known that naps are beneficial! No one has to tell them!

So...in honor of National Napping Day, enjoy some old photos, of how cats are masters at napping and dogs have taking naps down to a science too!

Remember when your cats were kittens and you photographed every single thing they did?
Napping photos are at the top of the list of photographs taken of kittens!
 Here is Roary when he was a youngster, napping away!

Puppies have endless energy!!! One minute they are tearing up the house, the next they crash wherever they are to take a much needed nap! Levi learned the art of napping pretty early!

Roary is demonstrating how cats also can practice Yoga while being in the  midst of a nap!

Sometimes it's fun to have someone to nap with!

One of those "someones" used to be me, Roary hasn't napped with me in ages, probably because I never lay down to take a nap myself!

Pleasant dreams!

Sleeping in your woofie brother's bed can be fun!

and laughing your kitty butt off after it!!!

Poor unsuspecting woofie!!

So, no matter whether you are a canine or a feline, or a 2-legger, make some time to take a good 'ol power nap!!! You will be happy you did!!!

Thankfully I Nap EVERY DAY!

Hi all it's Cody! Well, it appears that Mom dropped the ball again! In our daily planner it states that National Napping Day is today when in fact it was this past Monday! (Shame on you Mom for not checking!) "National Napping Day is observed annually the day following the return of daylight saving time.  National Napping Day provides everyone with the opportunity to have a nap and catch up on the hour of sleep they lost due to the spring forward time change."

"Numerous studies have shown that short 10-20 minute naps are the most effective when midday fatigue hits.  Improvements in alertness, productivity and mood have all been shown to improve with this type of snooze." 

"William Anthony, Ph.D., a Boston University Professor and his wife, Camille Anthony, created National Napping Day in 1999 as an effort to spotlight the health benefits to catching up on quality sleep.  “We chose this particular Monday because Americans are more ‘nap-ready’ than usual after losing an hour of sleep to daylight saving time,” Anthony said"

My Mom is screwed because she stays up til all hours of the morning watching mindless TV and  then gets up at no later than 7am. She will be crabby for at least a week because she NEVER takes naps! 

I just think it's funny because they made a day named after what kitties are smart enough to do EVERY DAY!!

Love, Cody
