25 Dogs Who Are True Canine Couch Potatoes

A note from David: In connection with the 7/21 publications of “Who Let the Dog Out?” and “Lessons from Tara”, and more importantly with football season less than 100 days away, I am announcing a Canine Couch Potato Contest‬. This photo is my first entry…and because everyone was afraid to get on the couch with crazy Sarah the Beagle, it includes two ‘coffee table potatoes’.

Beanz takes a quick break from his reading for some shut-eye.

Baylea, Sir Walcott Nottingham, and Chuck Norris enjoy slumber parties together. And yes, Chuck Norris is the little guy.

We've heard of a wraparound couch...but a wraparound couch potato...? This is new.

"You're right, Game of Thrones does make more sense from this angle."

Goodnight, sweet prince.

World's. Heaviest. Blanket. EVER.
