Woman coming home early because she’s “tired” discovers dog is anything but

A dog owner who returned early from a night out was expecting to get to bed at a reasonable time, but she quickly learned her canine had other plans.

A July 13 TikTok video posted to the account @sneenerks shows the owner sitting with her head in her hand, frustrated and annoyed. The owner wanted to come home early because she was “so tired” and missed her dog, she wrote in the caption. But regret likely settled in the second she realized the canine had no intention of going to sleep.

A splashing noise can be heard in the background of the video. A few seconds go by and she pans the camera to reveal the chaos her dog is making at that late hour. Sitting in the bathtub without a worry in the world, her small dog splish-splashed like a kid at a water park.

There was no letting up either. The dog jumped from side to side, attempting to drink whatever water splattered up. Luckily for the dog, her owner didn’t let exhaustion win. The owner stayed to supervise the entire time.

The dog’s playing was just her version of payback after the owner went out without her in the first place.

Newsweek reached out to @sneenerks via TikTok for additional information.

With over 393,400 views and 86,500 likes, the TikTok clip left viewers laughing at the dog “having a pool party in the tub.”

One TikToker commented: “This is her living her best toddler years.”

Another joked: “I died when I saw a dog!! I thought [it] was a kid. Love it!

A third person wrote what the dog was likely thinking: “You came home early. You have no right to be tired.”

Preparing Dogs for Bedtime

Every canine needs mental and physical stimulation, but how much depends on the dog breed. Some dogs are more energetic and require more exercise. And if dogs don’t get their energy out during the day, owners might find themselves awake at night with a wired pet.

Plenty of dogs will get nighttime zoomies. It might seem counterintuitive as you prepare for bed, but these late-night zoomies allow your dog to release any pent-up energy from the day, according to the website DogTime. It might even become part of their natural routine.

To try to prevent the zoomies right before bed, consider taking the dog out for a walk and letting it go to the bathroom. Spend extra time with the canine, whether that’s playing with toys or giving it pets. This will help it feel satisfied. Prepare a comfortable bed or crate space. Make it warm and inviting, which will entice the dog to go to bed.
