Dreams can totally set the tone for an entire day, and judging by how Melemele sleeps, she’s about to wake up in the best mood imaginable. The video posted by @melethelab opens with her curled up on her bed in the living room, eyes sealed shut, not a care in the world — except for the fact that her tail is going absolutely wild. It’s wagging so confidently that, for a second, you forget she’s asleep. There’s something extra sweet about the contrast: soft snoring face up top, full celebration happening in the back.
Labrador catches attention online with this adorable gesture
The video is a hit. Maybe it’s because of her sunny temperament (her name even means “yellow” in Hawaiian), or perhaps it’s just classic Labrador good vibes peeking through her dreams. The voiceover leans into the joke: “In today’s episode of fat and jobless…” which instantly sets the tone for the rest of the clip.
The camera zooms in, and her tail just keeps going — steady thumps at first, then a full circular wag, like she’s stirring invisible soup. It’s impossible not to laugh. The best part? She never actually wakes up. The routine just slows down naturally, little by little, until her tail finally decides it’s done for the moment.
And sure, the VO calls her “jobless,” but Mele has already cleared that up in a previous video: she’s a “stay-at-home daughter.” She exists, she’s adored, and her parents pay for everything. Honestly, that sounds like a full-time position to us.
With over 32k likes, viewers clearly agree she’s living the dream. Comments range from “She doesn’t need a job when she’s as cute as that” to “Sometimes I dream of switching lives with my lab,” and of course, someone wished, “I want a dream this good.”
If this is what being a stay-at-home daughter looks like, Melemele’s doing an excellent job of it — even in her sleep.
