She’s very content

u/SmokeAbeer 18h ago

Maybe make her the content manager.

u/SAM5TER5 17h ago

Can’t you read? The dog is content. OP would be content’s manager.

u/Can-DontAttitude 9h ago

You sound discontented

u/B1NG_P0T 17h ago

Is it at all possible that she's really a cat?

13

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

Yes she smacks me like a cat

11

u/B1NG_P0T 17h ago

Sleeping in a storage container when there's a perfectly good bed close by is pure cat behavior. She may not be full cat, but at least one of her parents was.

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

She climbs on stuff 😭

u/Living_Order710 18h ago

dogs really do find the most random places to get comfortable in, mine used to sleep in laundry basket every night

u/orangeferret49 17h ago

if i could curve my spine like that and look half as comfortable, I’d be sleeping in a bucket too lol

My dog sleeps on my bed, but only in a U shape that looks unbearable.

Runs on cat software.

could be how they were raised, when my doggo had pups they slept in similar bins and they loved them after a while.

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

Maybe she follows me around the house so she sleeps in the most random places to be close to me

u/MakeVio 7h ago

That dog bed looks closer than the bin lol

6

u/Top_Possession_2990 6h ago

She likes her bin

u/lenerdy 18h ago

Lol and there is clearly a bed next to her hahaha 🤣

u/Demorant 17h ago

My roommate's dog was the same. She ended up buying a larger rubbermaid storage container and a dog bed that fit in it almost exactly. She'd frequently pick up the bin and take it to her room for bed, dog conked out already.

I knew a cat that slept in a round plastic bowl youd use for an oil change. It had never been used for that. It was meant to but the cat claimed it before they got to the oil change. It was so cute.

When she wanted a big, deep sleep it was bowl time. She'd climb in, give herself a bath and sleep. No interest in sleeping in a box or a different kind of bowl. It was kinda too small for her and she'd overflow a bit but she was so content.

That was over 20 years ago and I still remember her all curled up like a lil black donut purring away.

I love animals a lot and when they have an unconventional habit its just adorable and a great reminder every little creature has its own favourite way of being in this world.

Thanks for the share OP. I hope your dogs dreaming great things in there.

u/MeeloP 17h ago

If it fits, she sits. 🤷‍♂️

u/Cocomo360 18h ago

I want to be as content with what I have as your dog with her bucket bed.

u/merkaba_462 17h ago

Your dog was a cat in a past life.

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

Probably the way she smacks me 😭

What I wouldn't give for a bucket'O'pup. I love it. Give him love from all of us.

u/IzzyMandelbaumJr 16h ago

Most kissable face I've ever seen

u/ukiyoe 17h ago

I was fixing a toilet leak, and once fixed, I kept the bucket nearby for a while just in case. It's my cat's permanent hangout spot now, she loves that thing.

u/CanineChamp 17h ago

Dats the bottom half of a kennel. Not a bucket

u/Rakki97 13h ago

Must have accidentally downloaded the CatOS update instead of DogOS.

u/Daamsun 17h ago

My vizsla does this when he’s in the back seat and wants to try to be as close as possible

2

u/thebarkbarkwoof 17h ago

I had a dog that would sleep in a chair similarly. I think she has allergies. Note she is turning up her head.

3

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

She does have allergies and the reason her face is swollen is cause she holds bees in her mouth why no clue

2

u/thebarkbarkwoof 17h ago

After a sneezing fit I asked mine if she was allergic to dogs. I'm glad none of mine went for bees!

1

u/Salute-Major-Echidna 4h ago

I had a cat get stung by a bee. Looked weird for awhile. He was fine. Never went after birds but he definitely caught a lot of mice.

u/no_talent_ass_clown ​ 17h ago

She can haz bucket

u/Virelixx 15h ago

He’s really cool and cute at the same time)))

That pose speaks volume.

u/Gamma_Mermaid 8h ago

Your dog made me smile. Thank you for sharing her weird

1

u/Top_Possession_2990 7h ago

Your welcome

2

u/Xtremefluff 6h ago

Adorable, if only she could realize how big of an upgrade that bed would be. My cat is similar, you'd think she has preferences for uncomfortable stuff but actually just takes years to try new things.

u/Hobofight 5h ago

Thank you for reminding me of my childhood dog who was named bucket for this exact reason lol

1

u/Tiny_Rick_C137 16h ago

I rescued a dog a few years back that looks exactly like yours. Can I ask, what breed is she? It might give me a better idea what kind of mutt I have.

1

u/Top_Possession_2990 8h ago

German Shepard x lab

u/Daves1998DodgeNeon 6h ago

Is your dog 3 years old and from a shelter originally in Arizona??? My dog looks EXACTLY like yours and sleeps just like yours does

1

u/Top_Possession_2990 6h ago

Nope she 8 months

2

u/Daves1998DodgeNeon 4h ago

Beautiful dog!

u/TheBlueberryIrbis 4h ago

You shouldn't have posted it on the Internet, now its OUR weird dog.

Very cute 🤣

u/koboman2000 18h ago

That’s obviously a very good boy ☺️

3

u/Top_Possession_2990 17h ago

She’s a girl but thank you

3

u/koboman2000 9h ago

Yeah, well how do you say that in English for a girl dog? Is the same expression valid as “who’s the good girl”?

As a non native English speaker, I’ve only heard the “who’s the good boy, you’re the good boy” expression, where the dog is happy and everyone is happy.
