What Does It Mean To Have A Bones Or No Bones Day?

Forget your snooze alarm. If you're wondering whether or not to get out of bed, just ask Noodle. Noodle is the lovable, pudgy pug that has quickly become social media's soothsayer. Noodle and his dog dad, Jonathan Graziano, film a series of life forecast videos from their home in NYC — and we're all in.

Like most dog owners, Graziano walks his dog every day. This involves rousing his pug from a slumber, and getting him off one of his many fluffy beds. There are days when Noodle just ain't feelin' it, though. In trend-worthy style, the little cutie just refuses to engage and flops down in a puddle of boneless pug. Thus, the name of their little game, "No Bones."

Graziano shares the game with followers on TikTok. Each video opens with a quick explanation of "No Bones," "The game where we find out if my 13-year-old pug woke up with bones and, as a result, we find out what kind of day we're going to have." He rouses the dog, attempting to sit Noodle upright. Then, he lets go to see how his dog reacts.

If Noodle is feeling lazy and topples over, it's a "no bones" day. "No bones" days should be planned accordingly — go easy. Don't take too many risks; the odds are clearly against you. If your early morning scrolling yields a "no bones" day, it might be the perfect opportunity to call out sick and watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off or curl up on the sofa and read some of Reese Witherspoon's favorite books. Better yet, organize your dresser so you have separate "soft pants" and "hard pants" drawers.

Admittedly, the last suggestion might yield the realization you're lacking in one category or the other. Be warned: you probably shouldn't shop for clothing deals on "no bones" days. Wait until Noodle gives you the green light.

Now, if Noodle remains upright (aka, has bones that day), then go out there and get after it. There is no better time to bake those beautiful buns you saw on "The Great British Baking Show." After all, "bones days" are perfect for daunting kitchen projects. Maybe you overspent on your last shopping spree? No worries, "bones days" are a good time to splurge on a big-spender lottery ticket — one of the $5 ones. Noodle knows best. When our favorite little furbaby has a kick-butt "bones day" forecast, it's time to channel your inner Michele Obama with some glittery knee-high boots. 

Now, get out there and slay like it's a "bones day," everyday.
