A day in the life of Sleego

Scroll sideways through one very normal day. The clock down there keeps the time. Sleego does not.

Keep scrolling

Sleego face down on a lavender pillow, paw on the alarm clock

06:00

Snooze #1 of 9

The alarm goes off. Snooze. It goes off again. Snooze, with feeling. By round nine the alarm quits first.

A lavender hairbrush stuck in Sleego's wild black hair

08:15

Hair check

One brush went in to fix it. The brush did not come back. Nobody mentions the brush.

Sleego in bed with coffee, cereal and a laptop video call

10:00

Camera off

Morning stand-up, from bed. Cereal in one paw, coffee in the other, “sounds good” on repeat.

Sleego walking down a sunny street in sunglasses with hair blown sideways

13:30

Coffee run

Sunglasses on, robe still on. The wind wins the hair fight. Sleego wins the walk anyway.

16:00

Burrito hours

Blanket goes on at four. The remote is two inches away. Might as well be in another city.

03:07

Wide awake

Bed at eleven. Eyes open at three. Watching videos of other dogs sleeping, taking notes.

and then

06:00. Again.

The alarm goes off. Snooze is right there. You know how this ends.

07:40, the kitchen

Breakfast is served

in one long pour.

the first sip, technically

The whole pot goes in.

The mug holds about a third. The counter gets the rest. Sleego calls it a balanced breakfast.

Eight moods, one dog. Send one to whoever texts you before 10 AM.

Sleego wide awake at night — my brain at 3:07 AM: hey, remember that thing you said in 2014?

Sleego on a video call in bed — “can everyone see my screen?” no, and I've never been more at peace

House rules

Stuck to the fridge with a dog-shaped magnet. Nobody remembers voting on them, and everybody follows them anyway.

head of compliance

01

No talking before the first sip.

the second sip is also too early

02

Snooze counts as cardio.

nine reps minimum

03

A robe is a full outfit.

post office included

04

Neat hair means something is wrong.

it should look like a small storm

05

Bedtime is a suggestion.

the good ideas show up at 3 AM
