There's nothing worse than being woken up from a nap, especially to go outside on an extremely cold day.
Well, that is exactly what happened to Lykke, a four-year-old chihuahua who enjoys her beauty sleep.
The moment the dog was made to put on her jacket and harness in order to go for a morning walk was captured on camera by her owner, Sofie Karoline Sørensen, but her expression says it all.

The comical clip shared to a TikTok page dedicated to the dog has racked up 449,300 views since it was shared on January, 14.
...
The 26-year-old owner from Bergen, Norway, told Newsweek: "Before the video, I needed to wake her up because we always go on a morning walk before I leave for work.
"Lykke is a heavy sleeper, and likes to sleep in. Sometimes she is a little bit grumpy, especially now because she knows that it's cold and snowy outside."
Once outside, Lykke comes alive, Sørensen told Newsweek: "Her attitude changes and she turns into a little ball of energy, running around and enjoying herself. If we have the time, we usually do cuddle a bit though before we go outside."
The hilarious clip is perfectly paired with a viral sound of woman's voice saying: "You know what? I am trying to stay positive, but this b**** is getting on my nerves."
So far, the video has racked up 47,000 likes and plenty of comments from other dog owners. It turns out Lykke isn't the only dog who acts this way.
One user said: "My chihuahua hates walks, the slightest bit of wind on his ears and he's done - if we say walk he pretends to sleep."
"My chi has learned to hide under the bed," said another owner.
A third comment said: "When the coat comes out they know that means it's snowing or in the minuses."
The following eight suggestions are from the American Kennel Club website and are meant to help dogs stay warm in colder climates.
- Limit your dog's time outside.
- Stay indoors when possible.
- Wrap your dog up in clothing.
- Consider your dog's age.
- Protect your dog's paws by investing in some booties.
- Buy a heated dog bed.
- Trim the hair on the feet to avoid ice balls forming between pads and toes.
- Clean your dog's feet when they come inside.
Not all dogs are the same and some are literally built for the snow, like Great Pyrenees.
