Mini Dachshund Puppy Claiming Her Favorite Napping Spot Is Making Everyone Giggle
Most pets have a favorite napping spot, often a well-padded chair, a comfy sofa, or a fuzzy blanket. However, a mini dachshund puppy named Francis prefers something quite different when it's time for her to get a bit of afternoon shut-eye. Kourtney Vera, Francis's owner, announced in an amusing TikTok video, "My dog is lying down right now for a nap. I'm gonna show you how quickly she'll get up to come lay on me."
After Vera settled herself face-down on the couch, Francis immediately noticed, jumped up from her sunny spot on a blanket, walked over, and plunked herself down on Vera's bum, which made Vera burst out laughing. The video — which has been viewed more than 767,000 times and racked up over 142,000 likes — is captioned, "She did not even hesitate 😭."

Viewers were amused by Francis' chosen spot for snoozing. "Heated, temperature controlled all natural pillow," is how one person described it. Another channeled the little dog's thoughts, writing, "Oooooo, my favorite seat just opened up." Netizens were also impressed by the darling doxie's devotion to this specific napping spot. "She even left the sun spot for you! That's pure love, right there," one person commented, and another observed, "You are on the couch but you are the couch for her."
The clinginess of dachshunds
Fellow owners of sausage dogs were not at all surprised by Francis' behavior. "1,000% DACHSHUND THING! All 4 of ours do it!" wrote one person, while another shared, "I didn't even have to finish the video to know it was gonna be a dachshund 😂." Some of the common personality traits of dachshunds include boldness, stubbornness, and intelligence, but also clinginess.
A doxie will often choose a favorite human and follow that person around. This loving behavior can seem endearing, but it can also result in a dog with separation anxiety if not handled properly. One viewer of the TikTok video wrote about their own wiener dog, "Mine would live inside my skin if she could 😭 Dachshunds are stage 5 clingers and I love it."
