Unfortunately last night I got no sleep whatsoever, not even an hour. I've had a lot on my mind and last night was it for me and it ruined my sleep. So I've gone 24 hrs without sleep. I'm finally starting to feel extremely sleepy, so I'm excited to hear thus story and I hopefully fall asleep 😊❤ thank you for all of these loving stories

[@christierichardson2841]

The full moon can have that effect on us especially when it is ushering in new things for us. I hope you have a wonderful sleep. I'm going on my 22nd hour as I didn't sleep last night either 😂. It's ok, though. I should sleep we pretty soon now.

[@michellenoad8032]

Thank you for all your beautiful stories! I listen every night 🌙

[@Snowstar50]

Sorry to hear about your insomnia. Hopefully tonight will be better for you.

[@terrianderson1014]

Rest well, my friend.

[@natalieflanagan4430]

I was the same last night, actually, so much ruminating, from topic to topic. I listened to 2 of my favourite stories of Stephen's and 3 long meditations.. and then it was morning! I feel for you! So I am in bed now, finally hoping to sleep at 9 pm in Australia. I hope you are feeling more relaxed and I also hope that you sleep deeply tonight 😊

[@juliedodd8630]

Hi Timmy! My name is Boo, and I am a cat. While you and your kind may be known as man's best friend, my owner always tells me I am better than a dog. The reason is that my deep, rumbly purr is very relaxing. Many a night, when I curl up with my owner, my purring quickly helps him relax and go to sleep. My owner wondered if maybe your owner could do another in his small town shop series about a pet store. The pet store would have an "interaction" room where prospective owners could interact with a potential pet to see if they would be a good match. This room would have a well-loved sofa or chair, so that it would seem a little more like home, and thus cozy. After interacting with a number of pets (dogs, a hamster, a gerbil, a rabbit, etc.) the prospective owner gets to the good stuff - cats! It takes only one cat for the prospective owner to realize this is exactly the right pet. The cat sits in the lap of the prospective owner and the purring begins. Within moments, the prospective owner is lulled into a "cat" nap and the two have a duet - purring and a gentle snore. This duet might be a great ending sound track. Best! Boo

My lovely dog is 13, and I am trying to enjoy his company while I still can. I can't imagine my life without him. He will hold a special place in my heart forever! Thank you for your great work.

[@claire-1745]

🙏🏻🩷🙏🏻

[@sophiefennelly]

Hi! I feel the exact same way. My Yorkshire Terrier dog Benny has been my best friend since I was 12, and he's almost 13, but lately, his health hasn't been the best, and I know he'll be gone soon but I'm trying to live in the moment and spend every moment I have with him❤

[@mariac.9055]

I enjoyed this story so much , I didn’t fall asleep right away because I was having so much fun with Timmy. Thank you for sharing your private moments and reflections . I look forward to more of these stories

[@sandramariesolander]

Okay... this one's going to be tough... I lost my best friend, my Standard Poodle Phineas 2 weeks ago.... Phin used to lay in bed with me and listen to your sleep stories with me. I say this because he chose not to get out of bed and leave the room. It became our nightly routine, one that I'm going to miss tremendously. I know how much you love your dog Timmy ~ please give him a hug for me. 💞

[@alisonbarton1812]

We have a rescued boxer dog called Caesar who we adopted about 18 months ago. He is a 40kg big cuddly teddy bear who is happiest when he's snuggled up to us. He'll be 5 in a couple of weeks.

[@groominator-magneticequato7195]

When I was a child my mom gifted me a wood carving that read “a dog is the only creature in warmth that loves you more than they love themselves” That always stayed with me. Loved your story. I’ve a bad cold and couldn’t sleep. This relaxes me so much when I came across it at 2 am and slept 2 cycles. 🙏

[@christierichardson2841]

Your mom is absolutely right ✅ 🙌

[@bethmarie98]

Aren’t dogs just the best?! Mine is my best friend and favourite companion. His name is Seth and he’s 2. Thanks so much for another amazing story, can’t wait to fall asleep with this tonight. 🤍

[@kaycwtchmahoney2940]

I have a little dog named Cujo & I recently visited Conway falls cafe . I will take her there to hear the amazing waterfall & to cuddle up next to a wood burning fireplace in the cafe . I loved this one it connected with me ❤

[@kezlyn2006]

Sounds so inviting, I'd love to join you with our little dog Kilani... However we're on the other side of Earth. Down under in Australia! 😊😊

[@kaycwtchmahoney2940]

I named Cujo after a dog Kath & Kim and Australian comedy . When I go back I will whisper your name & your Dog’s to the waterfall for luck x

[@grantfleming6845]

Thank you I feel honoured that you would fo that. Kath and Kim are so, so funny. I love the community that is building up around Stephens lovely sleep stories. Happy thoughts from Oz.

[@ragnhildmirach999]

I hope you will once tell a story about a place where we can cross the rainbow bridge for a little while so we can meet our pets that have passed over, who we miss so much 😢❤ or through a portal

[@alisonbarton1812]

What a lovely idea ❤ xx

[@blackcat393]

Yes! This would be so comforting!

[@sandyroop8220]

You save .you world about every night! So much thanks! Love you!

[@tinaennis3607]

My two dogs, Essie and Rainey, will be 11 years old tomorrow. They are my world.

[@SandieAlwaysKnows]

This story reminded me of all the beautiful times I had with my two little dogs, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. I still miss them immensely, and I just wanted to thank you for helping me keep their memories alive ❤

[@nancyliawoods]

I love that so many are sharing about their dogs here in the comments ❤❤ 🐾 I love my pup pup 🐾

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

My cat, Lieutenant Dan, enjoyed hearing about Timmy.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Lieutenant Dan - brilliant 😂

[@ktrudy1]

I adopted my dog Taco from our local animal shelter. He is a chihuahua mix. About 7 years old. Older dog but we r making his last 4- 6 years ( hopefully more) better for him. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@harryhoon39]

You've no idea how much this helps me. Thanks

[@beckypadgett9672]

This was so lovely to listen to Stephen. Not only are your stories so relaxing but I always seem to learn something too. So happy for you to have your little companion Timmy.

[@natashadaum2724]

Hearing about dogs,is my favorite thing, I have two little ones right by my side now while listened to you. Good night to all❤

[@lahpwe8248]

Good night everybody! :)

[@rianeaitken5023]

This is a beautiful ode to your dog Timmy. The love you have for him is palpable in this story ❤ I loved hearing all the different thoughts you had about dogs, for the same thoughts run through my mind about my beloved dogs as well. Been listening to your stories for months now and just wanted to say thank you for the love and soul you put into each and every story.

[@sheryllorenz830]

Can’t wait to go to bed tonight. Our little sparky is the light of our lives and it wouldn’t be a walk without him ❤. Hi Timmy 😘

[@luciemarinov129]

I have 2 wonderful dogs now, 3 cats , and 2 horses that are mine and a I take care of my neighbors old horse too because she is 86 and can’t anymore. They are all on my property of 1 and one half acre. They all keep me going and motivated along with my grandson since my daughter passed last May! Love them all , still ride my horses when the weather stops raining! 🌧️ am 78 now , they keep me physically fit! Love ❤️ from California again!

[@karentemplesnow8960]

Ahh Stephen. I have listened to your sleep stories every night for around six months. I have yet to hear even the beginning of any story!!! You do such a fantastic job of making me fall asleep long before the stories even start!!! Thank you xx

[@robinfelchak6844]

Your stories help me sleep. Thank you. What about a story walking through cat island.

[@MotherMeMeditations]

YES!!! 😻😻😻

[@elisabethpearl9790]

Stephen, it's morning here in Oz, so I'm not going to sleep yet.... When we were kids, my Dad used to sing us a song called The Isle of Innisfree......which is an island, part of Ireland, where people visit, but no-one lives. I came across my piano music for this song recently, the lyrics and score are haunting and beautiful. I would love to hear a story about this place, where the poet Yeats is said to have spent a good deal of time and written a poem called The Lake Isle of Innisfree....

[@Stephen_Dalton]

You need to listen to the story I read that was written by Yeats. This one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppnOaJZ-qdl_mJI

[@PaperTerrace]

I listen to you every single night all night long! Thank you

[@TheKimKaiser]

This is Stephen at his peak. Delightful observations and deep appreciations of life.

[@daliagrace9050]

Dogs are simply the best❤

[@rebeccab9033]

I ask my pup Lola which story she would like to listen to every night. Her eyes brightened when I mentioned tonight’s story was about you and Timmy your dog. Thanks for your story telling. We appreciate you. Godspeed.

[@WendyMillikan-sm7xi]

I ask penny every night if she wants a story, after we climb into bed. She looks at my phone and then me and cuddles in tight.

[@QuarianHips]

Magic, my sweet puppy girl, is turning 5 in two days! She's a brindle mix with 19 different breeds. We cuddle up in bed at night and listen to your stories together. She will frequently react to sound effects during the videos so I know she's listening too!

[@robertadizinno5092]

I so enjoyed hearing your heartfelt story about your walk with Timmy I never had a dog growing up, but I’ve been blessed by a precious little puppy called Zoe that I got in my mid 60s and they are truly one of life’s blessings and our relationship with them is one to be truly treasured❤ as your story reflects

[@karenparr1966]

❤ I am a proud pom mom.

[@SomeRednek420]

[@lindasevelin4557]

Wonderful, sleep stories with animals is always extra soothing for me ❤ I fall asleep to your stories every night. I would love to hear about a horseback ride up in the mountains ❤

[@melaniehellum1281]

Thank you for making these stories. You have the right amount of interest to make the stories inviting and the right voice to make it so I don't hear the ending. Perfect..

[@marlahornak8328]

Thanks from pennsylvania

[@anniesansky8148]

Thank you for this comfy, cozy story! It was a pleasure to fall asleep to the sound of a forest walk in the rain ! 🌧️

Could we hear a story about a perfumer? I adore aromatherapy, it would be a lovely story to hear :) keep up the great work!!! 😊

Your stories have become my night time routine. Than you..

[@georgegormley6809]

Got a 10 year old German shepherd and a 2 year old xl bully. It’s wild how different they are.

[@ashleypresley]

That picture looks like you and Timmy from that one video you guys did while walking in the snow. I love these real life stories the most. You should do a series of Walks with Timmy. I often wonder what my dog, Toto, thinks as well. He is very intelligent, he knows when you’re not feeling well intuitively and he will come up and comfort you. As you said animals are so pure and full of love. When the world is cold, they will always be there for you 🤍

[@teenamillar7013]

I'm truly loving this story!!! 😊😊😊😊

Iam in Australia, and my Lil chuh called Pearl, hears your voice and lays on my phone and falls asleep with me listening to your voice, she actually seems to relax as soon as I put your voice on anytime, hehe, thank you.

[@74twinkle]

I absolutely love this. I walk Charlie (my 12 yr old black lab) in the forest behind my cottage a couple of times a week, and it's my absolute favourite thing in the world ❤. Charlie is such a good boy, and loves it too. Unfortunately, he's knocking on a bit, so it can't be daily anymore. Thank you for this video. So relaxing. And the the artwork is amazingly as usual. Charlie says hi to Timmy x

Hello Stephen and Timmy! Thank you for the wonderful story.

[@deborahkent3852]

Love this story, mindfulness walk. It's nice to hear that other people see similar things the I see in the woods. A real bond with a dog, ,your his pack. Well done Timmy too x

[@SilkeS-id6rv]

What a wonderful story, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere while telling a sleepy rain story about a beloved pet. I love dogs and sleep stories including rain sounds and am hoping for more of those. I saved this one in my playlist for nights when other stories don’t quite get me to falling asleep. Both of Hope’s stories are also in that playlist. All three are great as they create a sleepy atmosphere rather than share information. Thank you very much!

[@jennyfraser4165]

❤ this! i miss my dog so much, name Blade, had to have him pts in 2019, he was nearly 13, still got his ashes in an urn on the fireplace & his paw print. 😢 X

Me too. His name was "Little Dude" . He passed over 5 years ago, but walks with me always and will remain deep in my heart forever. He lived a long, wonderful life and we shared many happy memorable years together. May you rest in peace, my Little Dude.❤❤

This is one of my favourites. Perfect for me. It has everything. Thankyou

[@dinacarr2734]

Love the short video intro with Timmy. Also your settle countdown. Its simply wonderful. The story is universal about the dogs in our lives. Bradford is a dog i will never forget. Although he was not mine. I got to know him when he was an old man and not well. I had him at my home over the Christmas holiday so his dad could go visit with family. On Christmas Eve when it was time to turn in, my two boys decided to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor so as to keep an eye on old Bradford. At one point, i felt a cold wet nose. Amazingly, Bradford came upstairs to wake me to let him out. Bradford could hardly walk, let alone climb stairs! I miss that good ol boy. I was there when the good vet sent him to the other side. RIP Bradford.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Amazing to read this Dina. Thank you for sharing. RIP Bradford. So beautifully described 🙏🏻❤️

[@ThePotsyLady]

Lost my best buddy last year, life is not the same without him. Consumed with overwhelming sadness every day without him. 13 years together. Dogs are family ❤️

[@FLSkywatcher19]

What a lovely story. I love the name Timmy for a dog. I’ve walked many of my dogs over the years and my current little dog is Guinness. But he’d never walk in the rain. Hates it! Still, this story was sweet and touching. Your stories have helped me sleep many nights. Thank you

My rescue dog is called Marley and he's 21months old. I was fostering dogs for a charity when I first met him. I fostered him for a while and then adopted him. He's so affectionate, I'd be lost without him. and I wouldn't get out without him either. Stephen, every time I hear your voice I have an urge to visit Ireland 😃...I will one day. This Timmy story is inspired, I love it, thank you. 💚

[@user-il6sj7du9p]

Absolutely amazing, soothing, it helped me so much, thank you....

[@crazeedogs]

I love this so much. Thank you ❤

[@emilysmith5654]

I love hearing about Timmy. We lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Paisley, two years ago. She was 14, and her health had been declining for a long time, so we probably held on longer than we should have, since the thought of no longer having her in our lives was just too difficult. We still miss her so much. Someday I am sure we will adopt another dog, but it hasn't been the right time yet. Thank you for all you do, Stephen. You are a true gift to all your listeners. ❤
