When it’s time for bed, many of us have a routine that helps us fall asleep peacefully. We grab a glass of water, take a shower, brush our teeth, read a book, or anything in between. If you’re a dog parent, you know our pups have their own routines, too.
But there’s one tiny Toy Poodle who has a nightly routine that involves a task that might be new to many people and dogs. She likes to throw just the right amount of bedtime attitude. Her side-eye game is unmatched, and her sass is elite. She might be the moodiest bedtime queen ever, and you have to take a look!
TikTok user Lilo & Nala (@lilpoodles) shared a video of Lilo, a small Toy Poodle who likes to make sure all the fun is finished for the day so she can go to sleep.
Her stopping to see what her pet parent is doing on the couch (behind the camera), noticing they’re not having fun, before spotting her sibling Nala walking about, is hilarious. It’s just as funny if you weren’t expecting Lilo’s sibling to have pink hair to see her trotting along like she has somewhere to be.

Sure, she’s grumpy, but that’s what adds to her charm, and it’s easy to see why the people in the comments have fallen in love with the Toy Poodle’s grouch, too.
One person wrote, “This reminds me [of] when I was in the Marines. If we were laughing or having fun, they’d say, ‘Secure the happiness.'”
Another shared, “Hair a little messy from a long day of patrol, God love her.”
Someone else added, “I wish I took my job as seriously as she does.”
Other comments included, “She runs such a strict program,” “She’s so militant, too,” “She’s so strict,” “This is actually so funny,” and “She said everything looks good over here.”
A bunch of people thought Nala was hilarious, too. “I wasn’t expecting Nicki Minaj in her Pink Friday era to come around the corner,” one person shared. “When Cyndi Lauper came out from behind the sofa,” another joked.

What Is a Toy Poodle’s Temperament?
While Lilo might seem a little moody, you can tell she’s a smart one, and that’s in line with what you can expect from a Toy Poodle.
According to the American Kennel Club, Toy Poodles are known for being “eager, athletic, and wickedly smart dogs of remarkable versatility,” and that’s certainly how we could describe silly Lilo.
We’re not sure if Lilo got enough sleep that night to put her in a better mood the next day, but we hope she never loses her charm.
