When you look up “exhaustion” in the dictionary…or type “define exhaustion” into Google…this is what you get:
A state of extreme physical or mental fatigue.
Okay yeah, sure, that’s fine. But some of us are visual learners, who always needed to play with those brightly-colored plastic tangram shapes to really grasp geometry (ahem, even in high school). So let these incredibly pooped puppies give you the most accurate definition of exhaustion possible:
1. This is coming out of your time sheet, Hector.
2. “Do you see these steps? They’re as big as I am! I’ll sleep right here, thanks.”
3. Post-park naps are much better with a sister for a pillow.
4. She’s dreaming of her nice, warm doggie bed, aka your pillow (or face).
5. You can try to fight the sandman, but resistance is futile.
6. Couldn’t even wait to get the leash off.
7. I thought honey gives you a sugar rush…?
8. “Go to practice without me, I ran too many laps around the living room.”
9. …Well that doesn’t look comfortable.
10. Do you mind? That’s real leather, Stu.
11. Almost didn’t see ya there…thought you were my fleece blanket!
12. The best thing about pajamas: sleepy wrinkle-lumps of bulldog pups love them.
13. “Concrete is the only thing I need right now to cool off. You can leave, mom.”
14. Not sure if this is a dog or goop…either way, it is really tired.
15. The classic “free fall” pooped pup pose.
16. This is 200% better than when Nancy fell asleep on his shoulder at the last office Christmas party after one (or five) too many drinks.
17. They tired one another out after chasing each other’s tails.
18. Solo snoozing is the best: more room to stretch out.
19. Took me a second to figure out what kind of chocolate lab pretzel this sleepy baby had twisted himself into.
20. It was just a mile…but I guess his legs are pretty teeny.
21. “That bubble bath really took it out of me!”
22. On the bright side, she doesn’t have to worry about unbuttoning her pants…
23. Two’s company, three’s a very sleepy crowd.
24. I was excited to sit in my favorite chair…but I guess you can have it.
If you’re learning English, I hope that this was a thorough enough explanation of the noun “exhaustion.” Just looking at these pups makes me feel the same way…so I think it’s time for me to step out of the classroom and into my pj’s!
