Justin Floyd, a proud dog parent from Greenville, South Carolina, recently shared a side-splitting glimpse into his daily struggle to rouse his two German pointer dogs, Remi Jean and Nelli Bean, from their cozy slumber.

In a heartwarming video posted on TikTok, Justin captured the relatable ordeal he faces every morning as he attempts to coax his furry companions out of bed. Remi Jean, at three years old, and Nelli Bean, just one year old, have a profound attachment to the comfort of their human’s bed.

“The idea of leaving is met with some resistance. I have learned just to embrace this daily routine as a charming part of our mornings together,” Floyd told Newsweek, speaking about the daily struggle.

The comical video chronicles the morning drama, beginning at 5:20 a.m. with Justin’s first valiant wake-up attempt. Despite his best efforts, Remi and Nelli remain firmly entrenched in dreamland. As the minutes tick by, their determination to stay in bed remains unwavering, with Nelli even taking cover under the comforter.

By 5:55 a.m., after five futile wake-up attempts, the dogs finally concede defeat. They stretch lazily and yawn, reluctantly leaving the cozy cocoon of the bed.

Justin’s bond with his dogs is undeniable. He revealed, “The dogs go everywhere with me, to the gym, to work, to hang out with friends. They are on the same schedule as me. So, when it’s time to get out of bed, they are equally if not more tired than I am.”

As for his secret to motivating his canine companions to start their day, Justin shared some insights. “I’ve found that speaking to them in an enthusiastic and cheerful tone helps get them excited about starting the day,” he said. “However, there are still days when they decide to hit snooze on the alarm multiple times.”

With a TikTok following exceeding 721,000 followers, Justin Floyd enjoys sharing the delightful antics of his dogs online. “I like to share moments like this on TikTok because it’s not very typical of the breed. German shorthairs are very high-energy and require a lot of exercise. So it’s funny to me seeing them not wanting to get up in the morning.

In the end, Justin’s daily battle to get his dogs out of bed is a humorous reminder that even our most loyal companions have their morning struggles.
