Giant And Mini Schnauzer Siblings' Post-Daycare Routine Is Hilariously Relatable

Add Cuteness on Google:

Who isn't wiped out at the end of a busy day? For a giant black schnauzer named Oso and a mini gray schnauzer named Safari who live in Austin, Texas, every day that they attend doggie daycare follows a familiar pattern. A sweet Instagram Reel shows the furry pair's morning drop-off at Central Bark, described by the overlaid text as the doggos' "favorite place ever." The text (written from the pov of the pert pups) continues, "When mom and dad are busy at work this place has been a lifesaver for them and us."

At the end of a fun day filled with playtime, exercise, doggie pals, toys, and games, Oso and Safari are loaded into the car. Then, like weary commuters heading home via subway after a long day at work, they promptly fall asleep. The video shows the two completely conked out on the drive home. "By the time mom picks us up we are absolutely wiped," reads the overlaid text. "That car nap — glorious." Once they arrive home, the dogs spend the evening chilling out, eating dinner, and receiving cuddles from their humans; then they head to bed for the night, ready to do it all again the next day, all of which feels totally relatable to anyone with a job and a daily commute.

The importance of routine for dogs

Though Oso and Safari's daily routine is described in a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek manner, routines for dogs are actually extremely important. A regular daily routine that includes consistent meals, potty breaks, training sessions, exercise, and sleep is beneficial for dogs of every age, from the youngest puppies to the most elderly seniors. This predictable routine can improve a dog's confidence while simultaneously lowering stress and confusion. A dog that knows what to expect is less likely to feel anxious and act out through destructive behaviors.

Viewers of the video cared less about the routine and more about the cuteness of the delightful doggie duo. People were smitten with the pairing of the mini schnauzer — considered one of the smartest dog breeds in the world — and the giant schnauzer. "🐾 Schnauzers in every size have my heart ❤️," noted one person, and another gushed, "Awww I love this so adorbs."
