If you think your dog is spoiled, wait until you see Louie Clark’s bedtime routine. This Frenchie expects to be tucked into bed in a very specific manner. Nothing else will do. In a video shared on his Instagram handle @frenchie_louieclarkandlisa, Louie shows us that settling in for the night isn’t just about curling up on the blanket. Nope, it’s a whole production. From gentle paw-taps that double as his “bedtime bell” to the slow crawl under the covers, he makes it clear that this isn’t Lisa’s bed anymore, it’s their bed. And really, watching the ritual unfold, it’s impossible not to laugh at just how thorough his nightly routine is.
Frenchie’s bedtime rituals prove he is ‘a spoiled one’ in video
Louie’s bedtime routine has blown up online, pulling in over 17,000 likes and a flood of ‘same here!’ comments from Frenchie parents. The video starts with Louie sitting next to his mom in bed, happily soaking up scritches while the text on screen announces: “Bedtime with a Frenchie – a spoiled one -”
Louie begins the routine by gently tapping his mom’s outstretched hand to wake her up. He taps again and again until she gets the hint.
His mom, Lisa, recognizes the cue. She lifts the covers and tells him, “go on in.” The text confirms, “Into his cave he goes.” We get a fascinating peek into the cave as Louie slowly walks under the blanket. He sniffs around, “preparing his spot,” and then digs intensely at the area. Only once the mattress has been deemed perfect does he finally settle and plop down.
Once his ritual is complete, his mom wishes him goodnight and lets the covers down so that he can drift to dreamland. Judging by the comments, this is a Frenchie trademark; many owners said their pups pull the same stunt. One owner wrote, “Why are all Frenchies exactly the same? Mine does it too,” and another Frenchie’s account joked, “Mommy’s are so easy to train!!” Sure looks like it.
