Although widely believed to be purely physiological in nature, researchers now think that there may be a psychological element to the extremely rare condition of decanarcolepsy, the sudden tendency to fall asleep when confronted with today’s date.
Our thanks to C.O. research associate Miranda H. for her important contri … cont-trib … *ZZZZZZZZZ*


man, don’t i wish i could be curled up next to that puppy all sound asleep…would make my day SO much better
Barkolepsy!
Pupolepsy.
I officially declare today HonkShuesday. Have completed my duties for the day, I will now proceed to flop down in the grass next to the pupster.
So is this a LOLcap, then, on Cute Overload no less? Or not? I’m confused. Somebody think for me.
OMG, Other Mike, you’ve created a Googlewhack!

(sorta counts, dunnit?)
I read the title as “Exotic Sheep Disorders”.
I need help. x.x
Love Papillon puppies!!
Cute little sleeping puppy, posted by neither Meg nor Theo. How confusing!
Theo, I searched Google on “decanarcolepsy” when I was writing this, just to be sure it wasn’t a real word. I got zero results at the time.
[Well, it works *now*. I think that makes you definitively The Source... - Ed.]
Puppy, meet soft gras…zzzzzz.
The smell of fresh grass commingled with the smell of fresh pup. OMG… how will I get through the day???
This is Miranda and the baby is my best friend Laura’s new puppy. Hims name is Tucker. Yes, as in Tuckered Out – ba-ZING! he’s only about 2 lbs currently, and very bad so far, which makes him all the more cute. thank you for posting Tucker!!
I have the sudden tendency to fall asleep on days I am at work. ZZZzzzzZz
Normally I’m a big, clumsy mutt kinda girl, but man, there is just something about a papillon. Loves dem!
COunt me among those who would happily flop right down next to the pupster for a snooze.. if it were only possible.
@Clare, hehe don’t worry I read ‘Exotic Sheep Disorders’ too!

Do you mean “today’s date” like the date supered on the digital photo, or “today’s date” as in June 17, birthday of actor Thomas Haden Church? Is that pronounced “DEE-kuh-narcolepsy” or “DEH-kuh-narcolepsy,” and why the “deca”-prefix? Why isn’t it just “puppy narcolepsy on May morn?” See, I told you the first one was a fluke.
Keep trying, meat. You gotta put together at least 1000 good at-bats before we consider you worthy of the majors.
this reminds me too much of my own puppy: http://done-na.livejournal.com/73169.html
although the term decanarcolepsy makes me think of 10 narcoleptics.
I don’t know what I enjoy the most here – the photos or the clever commentary about each photo. Makes me giggle. Which is good. Thank you for this website!
Awww…the little fellow looks like one of the puppies I saw in the park on the way home yesterday! Only that puppy was far more interested in the smell of the garbage bin than sleeping.
(I’m not necessarily a dog person, but I do enjoy cutting through the park and watching all the variety of dogs playing)
“the sudden tendency to fall asleep when confronted with today’s date.”
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Aw man! Yur KILLIN me here!
looks dead
Yay! Another Papillon! But I’m not a fan of making fun of health conditions. I actually came on here to cheer up after getting some bad news about a relative and the joking reference to brain disorders kinda falls flat when someone you love is in the hospital.
Keep up the Papliion photos please!
Dear Monique-I’m sorry for your bad news. I hope you can still find some cute here.
Bertha’sperson, now, now, here is a butterscotch pa-sickie on a stick, NOTM has done a very nice job, and Mike dear, you just go ahead with your postings, I’m sure Bertha’sperson is sorry for his outburst, aren’t you Bertha’sperson? I’m sure Bertha will be very proud of you and give you snorgles…
Sheesh!
My God, I’m channeling June Cleaver! TOO much CO!
That’s a lovely housecoat you have on today, Mrs. Katrina.
Well thank you, Dear. Please go tell your mother that those cookies were just great, with my Vermouth.
Good times!
I think I need a nap…
Has anyone ever seen the videos of narcoleptic goats? Funniest videos I’ve ever seen…
Enjoying these comments-laughs help me forget about
the day!
MONIQUE–Sorry that someone
you love is in the hospital–it’s a lot of stress, and we hope some of the cute and lighter
comments will help you relax when you can. Please forgive the occasional reference that hits too close to home–no harm was
intended. Thanks for your
honesty with us.
Oh no, I have… it… too…
*headdesk*
*ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
I don’t get it.
Don’t be so elitist, folks. It’s not becoming.
JDL repeating —
1) What’s not to get?
2) What?
What’s deca-narcolepsy got to do with the date? I assume that’s some kind of play on words. (see berthservant above).
I like that – jdl repeating – ha
