Meme of the day: We’re busy napping!
Are you too young to think about how you’re aging? Probably not.
Starting in our 30s, some key cellular processes begin to slow down, making us feel tired and weak over time. This decline affects not just our physical strength and endurance, but significantly reduces our quality of life making everyday activities harder to enjoy.
Luckily, scientists have discovered a way to shape how we age. Mitopure®, by Timeline, targets the root cause of this cellular decline and is clinically proven to increase cellular energy, giving our bodies the energy they need to function optimally. The results? Double-digit increases in muscle strength without any change in exercise.

The Ultimate Compliment: Why Your Dog Sleeps on Your Pillow
You walk into your bedroom, ready to unwind after a long day, only to find the coziest spot on your bed has already been claimed. Curled up peacefully on your pillow, with a contented sigh, is your beloved canine companion. While you might initially be tempted to see it as a funny, slightly annoying habit, this act is so much more than a simple quest for comfort. It’s a profound display of trust, loyalty, and deep affection. Your dog isn't just taking over your space; they're showing you, in their own unique way, just how much you mean to them.

Your pillow is more than just a fluffy cushion to your dog—it's a goldmine of your unique scent. To a dog, scent is their primary way of understanding the world. By sleeping on your pillow, they're essentially wrapping themselves in your smell, which is incredibly comforting and reassuring. It's like a security blanket that says, "I'm safe and you're near," even when you're in a different room.
This behavior is also linked to their pack instincts. In the wild, dogs would huddle together for warmth and safety. By snuggling up to your pillow, they're instinctively seeking out the comfort of the "pack." Your pillow, with its strong human scent, becomes a proxy for you, providing the same sense of security and belonging they would get from huddling with their littermates.
A Matter of Softness and Elevation
Let's be honest, pillows are just plain comfy. The soft, elevated surface is an appealing spot for any creature looking to get cozy. For dogs, especially smaller breeds, the height of a pillow can give them a better vantage point, a behavior that goes back to their wild ancestors, who would seek out elevated spots to keep an eye on their surroundings. It's an instinct to find a secure and comfortable place to rest, and your pillow often fits the bill perfectly.
A Sign of Trust and Love
Ultimately, your dog's desire to sleep on your pillow is a testament to the strong bond you share with them. This isn't just a random act; it's a conscious choice to be close to you, even in your absence. When a dog chooses to sleep on your pillow, it means they feel entirely at ease and secure in your home. They trust you implicitly and want to be as close to you as possible, even in their dreams.
