Growing boys need their naps, no matter if they’re human or canine.


When Jessica Shyba and her husband got their three small children a dog this month, they decided to crate train the 7-week-old mixed breed.


But after the first night of whining, Mrs Shyba decided she couldn’t bear to let the puppy named Theo sleep alone again.


And that applies to nap time as well. Every day after her son Beau is put down for his afternoon nap, his ‘puppy brother’ jumps up on the bed to cuddle up and catch a few z’s as well.


Mrs Shyba recently wrote about the daily ritual on her blog, including some unbearably adorable Instagram photos.


The first snooze: Theo started sleeping on his toddler-owner Beau when he accidentally fell asleep on the baby when he was being rocked for an afternoon nap one day

Mrs Shyba says that the nap time routine started on the third day they had Theo.


Theo was laying on Beau when the toddler was getting rocked for his afternoon nap and Theo passed out as well. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.


‘I was practically howling at the cuteness and nearly woke them both up,’ Mrs Shyba said.


The next day, Theo waited outside the bedroom for nap time and so began what the mom calls ‘the most organic and beautiful relationship I have ever witnessed.’


‘Each day, Theo meets us at nap time and waits patiently for beau to fall asleep. By that time, he’s also sleepy, so when I hoist him onto our bed, he stumbles over Beau and plops right down on top of him. And there they sleep, entwined, for at least two hours,’ she said.

This will be a loving and long lasting bond between a boy and his dog. The innocence and sweetness factor is doubled. ;) I look forward to seeing more pics of these two as they grow up.
