Why does my puppy prefer sleeping on the cool floor over her bed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 2 months and 18 days old | 25 lbs

My puppy hardly ever sleeps with me or in her bed, instead she will only sleep on the floor next to me. I have tried to give her lots of comfort because to me the floor would be too hard to sleep on. Is this normal? I feel like she doesn’t want me to bother her since she sleeps alllllll dayyyyy. :( I thought corgis were supposed to be cuddly.

Yes, this can be normal. It may be cooler on the floor for Mia. Puppies do sleep a lot as they are growing. When she is older, she may want to cuddle more. Just keep giving her lots of love and attention.
