Macklin is a basset hound, who just loves to sleep and hates to wake up

His owner, Ben, posts many videos of Macklin and his sister Marley, none of which have gone quite as viral as this one of him refusing to wake up.

These two are really upset they didn’t get an invite to the wedding. Thanks to everyone that came out tonight, Linda Nispel and I had an awesome time celebrating with all of you!

At the beginning of this video, you can see Macklin snuggled up on the couch buried in blankets while Ben and Marley approach him to wake him up.

Marley immediately jumps onto the couch and starts licking Macklin’s face to try to wake him up

Not only does Marley start licking him, but she also puts her paw right on his face as if to shake him to wake him up. Macklin is in such a deep slumber it doesn’t phase him at all, he continues to snooze with his sister stepping all over him and licking him vigorously.

At the same time, Ben sweetly pets him and tells him it’s time to wake up while Macklin just gives him a huge yawn and continues sleeping. He even gently pulls his ear, but nothing is working to get the sleeping basset hound up.

When Marley jumps back onto the couch, his sleeping brother finally opens his eyes and gives her the funniest look

Macklin isn’t going to get up for anyone, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to give up. Ben keeps petting him and softly speaking to him, while his sister takes a more aggressive approach.

The death stare he gives Marley when she jumps on the couch a second time is hilarious, but it’s still not enough to get him out of bed. He goes right back to sleep without batting an eye.

Every effort they make to get him out of bed does no good, he’s completely dedicated to sleeping in

Even after the petting, jumping on, licking, and kindly asking, Macklin remains asleep with no plans of waking up. Turns out, this is normal for the sleepy basset hound.

In another video posted by Ben, Macklin falls asleep while sitting up. Proving that he’s just a sleepy dog in general, I guess it’s a lot of work being this cute.

In the end, Macklin wins and gets to keep sleeping while Marley and Ben finally give up

I guess there’s always tomorrow morning. But then again, I have a feeling this is an everyday thing for the tired basset hound. Another video posted by Ben shows us that it’s not only mornings that keep Macklin sleeping. He even sleeps like this in the evening, only waking up when Ben finally offers him a treat.
