Adorable Baby Goose Falls Asleep in Girl's Hand

We love all pets at Paw Nation, not just cats and dogs. Still, some of you are a little restless. "More birds!" the avian fans cry. And we've heard you. That's why today we're featuring all bird videos, just for you (and for anyone else to).

Explaining what makes something cute can be like trying to explain colors to someone who was born blind. But we know what's cute when we see it. Small things are often cute. Fluffy things are usually cute. And things that are sleeping/falling asleep, for whatever reason, ring our cuteness bells. Here's an gosling that ticks all those boxes.

Look at those flapping little legs dangling. Look at that fuzzy little face dozing. Watch him smack his lips--er, his beak--contentedly.

He's so stubborn, trying to fight sleep! Isn't it so satisfying, when you're trying not to nod off, when you reach that point where you give up and just let sleep wash over you like a wave? But this little goose isn't quitting so easily. Just when you think he's out, he snaps back to attention! I used to catch my old man doing that while watching TV at night. "I'm not sleeping; I'm just resting my eyes," he'd say. OK, if that's what you need to tell yourself, little gosling, then go ahead and rest your eyes. Rest your adorable little gosling eyes.
