While dogs are playful creatures, they, too, need to unwind. Puppies, especially, are lively little ones, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. But then they run out of energy and quickly fall into a puppy-coma. Humans can appreciate this sentiment. We schlep around most days, working and taking care of our families. We look forward to the evening when we can just veg out and enjoy a TV show or a good book. And, of course, weekends are the best. They never last long enough! The puppy in this story also enjoys vegging out. He has taken relaxation to a whole new level, and it’s too sweet to miss.
The puppy in the video below has found his happy place. While the rain began to fall, he heard the pitter-patter on the roof and begged his human to be let outside. He glanced up at the gray skies, thick with heavy storm clouds. When most dogs avoid this kind of weather, this puppy wants to bask in it. Rainy days are his nirvana.
As his human stands from a safe distance filming, the puppy lies down on his tummy. He sploots and crosses his back legs in the cutest fashion. His little head moves about, fixated on the drops of water pummeling down; the sound is a symphony to his doggy ears.
He watches the cars whiz by as giant puddles of water gather ’round. The scene laid out before him is what he’d consider perfection. The puppy has found his zen.

This little video teaches a terrific lesson: the simplest things can be the most rewarding. If we slow down and try to enjoy what life has given us, we can truly learn that happiness is not about material things. Joy is finding peace within.
