A new four-legged sensation has been taking over the Internet recently. Who, you might ask? Meet Noodle, a very, very sleepy 13-year-old pug.
Most mornings, Noodle’s owner Jonathan Graziano makes a TikTok video where he attempts to stand Noodle up.
If Noodle plops back down in his bed this is considered a “no bones day”, however, if he remains standing that is a “bones day.”
So how does a bone or no bones day tie into our everyday lives? It is almost like a horoscope.
“Bones day is where you take the thing that I think you were putting off doing, or the thing you were scared to do, or you weren’t super motivated, and the bones day is the day you do it,” said Graziano.
However, if it is a no bones day Graziano states it is more of a self-care day. Some people have said a no bones day might be an unlucky or unfortunate day, but Graziano insists that it isn’t that, just more of a lazy relaxation day.
Every morning people from all over the world tune in to watch Noodle tell their daily fortune. It’s similar to Groundhog Day, except this time it’s an adorable pug making the calls daily, instead of once a year.
Currently, the TikTok account run by Graziano has 3.1 million followers and 29.4 million total likes between all the posts. On top of that, the videos get millions of views. His most watched video on TikTok has 11.9 million views. He has also made an appearance on the Today Show. It’s fair to say Noodle gets a lot of attention, and he is totally unaware of it.
“People started using it as a forecast for how their day was going to go and I leaned into it. We all need a little positivity right now,” said Graziano.
