Creature Comfort


We spent the Labor Day weekend visiting family. Buddy, our Labradoodle, spent the weekend at the kennel. It is so strange to be in the house without him. He is getting bathed and won't be ready for pick-up until later today. I was looking at my pictures. This one of him was taken a week ago. The dog seems to choose the hardest spots in the house. He loves to roll on his back before falling sound asleep. Sometimes, we will find him with his back paws up and his front paws facing the sky leaning against a wall. It just doesn't look comfortable.

We have had him for 1.5 years. He is a loved member of the family. I am grateful he finds comfort on our hard floors. We find comfort just knowing he is here to pet and play with. I can't wait until he is ready to be picked up today!

That is so funny-- Ellie does the same thing! I think the hardwood is cooler in temperature and they have all that hair (i.e. padding). By the way, Ellie had a great time at the Pet Resort-- she was wiped out when she got home!

A friend of mine said that her dog did this until he got older. Now, he just sprawls out like "normal." Buddy loves the cool tile in front of the fire place too. We keep waiting for the heavy screen to come toppling down on him.
