Sophie has several places in which she enjoys lounging in the house.
The sofas, the chair, the guest bedroom bed and of course the bed in our room.
Dogs are great nappers. They can curl up or stretch out and get 40 winks in before we realize they are taking a nap. Watching a dog nap can be a comical experience. They shiver, snort, grown, growl and even bark. They run and chase and twitch to the point of convulsing. The dreams they have, must be full contact, technicolor experiences.
A week or so ago, we noticed that Sophie curls up under the coffee table in the living room. Even though she has a very even temperament, I’m sure the recent barrage of daily evening storms and the gradual intensity of the fireworks, have made her a bit cautious and being under something heavy is a great source of comfort.
Safety and security are something we often take for granted. New experiences or changes in routine make us cautious of what is to come next. The security of sturdy surroundings helps us see things more clearly. Some times, we need to get under the coffee table.
