Chihuahuas are, like most dogs, fond of taking many naps throughout the day. We learn early on that naps are fun and an enjoyable way to spend a day.
We sleep up to 18 hours a day so we’re pretty good at it.
In between naps, of course, we must work hard. I usually spend my days guarding, entertaining, exercising, supervising and protecting my daddies. Without me they would be lost.
I decided to list some of my favorite places to sleep and/or nap. They’re actually the same thing except naps are shorter. I am always on the alert though. My work is never done.
- In my office daybed. It’s pink and has a pretty daisy on it. A blankie is always on top.
- In my living room bed. Bigger than my pink bed with a nice blankie tent. A great place to hide.
- Anyplace there is sunlight. We Chihuahuas love to sunbathe and look for that special spot.
- On a pillow.
- On the sofa.
- On the carpet.
- On one of my daddy’s lap.
- In my daddies’ bed.
- In my own bed next to daddy. It’s the same as my office daybed. I think they move it back and forth.
- Anyplace under a blankie.

That’s a great question. “Experts” say on average a dog sleeps 14 hours a day. There’s an article at Petplace.com that explains all this in detail so I don’t have to.
I sleep about 8 hours at night in my own cozy little bed, which is in an enclosed octagon “bedroom”, located next to the floor heater. I have several warm, cozy blankets to snuggle under. My bedroom is “locked up” at night so I’ll feel safe. Sometimes I think my daddies should let me sleep with them in their bed, but they might crush me.
I’m a working girl. One of my daddies has a graphic arts business in the house so I have to supervise him and make sure he works hard. But I manage to catch a few naps during the day too. When my other daddy comes home at 6 ish it’s time for a walk, dinner and play in front of the TV. Then naptime around 9 to prepare for bedtime.
