You could be throwing confetti in your head with excitement after seeing your favorite person, but be in “low power mode” on the outside. It’s likely because your body’s energy levels didn’t get the memo like your hyped-up spirit, and that seemed to be the case here.
This video showed a Golden Retriever get excited to see her dad, but she was too lazy to get up. It’s safe to say that while Skylar’s tail was excited, her body was not, as she continued acting like a couch potato.
Golden Retriever is ‘lazy but excited’ to see dad in video
Nobody can quite master the art of doing absolutely nothing like a pampered furbaby who sleeps all day. Even then, they would give one the “I’m so tired” face and look overworked like they ran a marathon.
An owner documented her Golden Retriever’s utterly hilarious but equally adorable reaction to seeing her dad in a too-cute-to-handle Instagram video. It depicted the moment when her laziness overpowered her excitement, and she decided to roll with it.
In the clip, Skylar was lying on the couch with her mom when her dad entered the room. Thrilled at the sight of him walking in, she began wagging her tail speedily while still lazing on the couch.
Despite being excited, the furball didn’t get up to greet her dad. Instead, she waited for him to come to her and give her scratches. Her mom said, “A tired dog but happy to see her daddy.” Then, she almost immediately went back to being a couch potato.
To clarify, the caption justified the Golden Retriever’s sloth-like energy in the video even after seeing her dad. It revealed Skylar’s inner monologue, sharing that “9 pm is past my bedtime dad – not moving – but I still love you.”
Commenters highlighted the good girl’s tail movements, which proved her happiness upon seeing him. One user claimed that she could never be too tired to wag her happy tail, while another mentioned that she was sleepy but wanted to say “hi.”
