Labrador Retriever Goes From Snooze Mode To Play Mode the Second She Realizes Mom's Awake
5-year-old Charlie Mae sleeps in bed with her mom every night and has the most adorable way of saying good morning when Mom wakes up to start her day. To say her greeting is a little extra would be an understatement.
In videos shared on TikTok, Mom captures their daily wake-up routine, and it's as chaotic as it is adorable. In this clip, Charlie Mae is sprawled out across her, seemingly fast asleep and completely relaxed. But the second Mom wakes up, everything changes. The Labrador instantly flips from snooze mode to full-on play mode, bringing an explosion of energy that would be a lot for anyone to handle first thing in the morning.
