Dreamflight Lullaby

Now shut your wee eyes, lay down your tired head
And dream fluffy dreams in your pink little bed
Soon you will fly in the sky without fears
The clouds at your feet and the wind in your ears


Over oceans you’ll skim; over mountains you’ll soar
But remember, it’s only a dream, nothing more
And when you awaken, you’ll marvel because it
All seemed so real, but it wasn’t — or was it?


Darin & Brooke say: “Viva is a Papillon-Poodle-Miki mix. She sleeps like this all the time (not really). She’s just tired from looking at the weirdos on Cute Overload all day.” Hey! We resembled that remark!

    My niece used to tuck my cat in like that, then go to sleep next to him. One time I went in, and he was staring straight at me from the pillow. I think he was too scared to move. I could never try it thought, talk about needing Bandaids…

    awwww … Dreamy Diva Viva :)

  3. Nikki says:

    What a little darling! Love the blankie with the ducklings. And NTMTOM, very nice bedtime story. You can tuck me in any time… ;)

    NTMTOM–I love the poem–so perfect with wind blown puppeh ears!

    Aw. Must be a happy dream as she’s smiling.

    Speaking of cute sleeping dogs, check out this adorable French bulldog who fell asleep in the window of a prosh art gallery.

      Now THAT is funny! The Frenchie is all, “I’ll just grab 40 winks right here.” And the hyoomins off-camera are all like, “Squeeeeeee!”

    Hmm, I think pup is expecting Hoop Dreams because she’s got a paper towel handy for when she starts to dribble.

  7. lifediving says:

    Great work, once again, NTMTOM.

  15. Mary (the first) says:

    That little guy is adorable but what is the “Miki” portion of “Papillon-Poodle-Miki mix”?

  16. ammy says:

      ps:
      1: YAY “sleppy” Tag :)
      2: can I call “Matchingks”, if the pink inner ears match the linens???

  18. Joey says:

    Why isn’t this a children’s book yet? Just continue that adorable little rhyme a few lines longer and illustrate this super cute pup and bam! Bestseller!

    • Martha in Washington says:

      We keep telling Mike he should publish. And also marry me. Neither has happened yet.

  19. Dan says:

    Half Poodle, half Papillon?

    Does that make her a Poopillon?

  20. Brooke says:

    I can’t stop singing…”Dream-flight Lullaby, it’s the dreamiest dream, dreamin’ all the t-i-m-e…”
    I just love Mike’s dreamy poem about our wee little one :) Esp the part about the wind in her sizable ears! I often imagine this is what she’s doing when in muffin-making snooze-land. bzzzzzzzzz

  21. viva*auntie says:

    Oh great! What a precious pup. Such a sweet little stink – gotta love her!

  22. Valeria says:

    Is anyone else thinking of Billy Joels, “Goodnight My Angel” ?

  23. Laura says:

    ZOMG, she looks exactly like my Schnoodle (in fact, a friend sent me this via Facebook and I thought she’d dognapped my pup and did a photo session). Too cute!
