A white-haired grandma in a green quilted vest sleeps in a rope hammock while a Saint Bernard lies awake across her. 14 / 36

The Hammock Was Built for One. Moose Didn't See It That Way.

AI imagesaint bernardhammockbackyard

The rope hammock sags low between two oak trunks, and Grandma Edie has sunk right into it, eyes closed and head tipped back, wearing her green quilted vest over a gray shirt. Moose did not want to miss out. The Saint Bernard has draped his front half across the hammock and over her lap, crossing his huge paws and staring straight ahead with the solemn face of a security guard on duty. Oak leaves dangle overhead, fallen leaves cover the ground, and a pair of boots and a blue watering can sit by the back steps.

Hammocks and big dogs are a funny combination, and they need a little care. A hammock rated for one adult can strain or flip when a heavy dog climbs aboard, and claws can snag rope or fabric. If a dog likes to join you, a sturdy frame, low height, and a calm approach help prevent tumbles. Fall leaves are fun for dogs to explore, but piles can hide acorns, which can upset a dog's stomach if eaten in quantity, along with mushrooms and sharp sticks. A quick look around the yard keeps relaxed afternoons truly relaxed.

Moose does not seem interested in sleeping himself. He looks far more committed to making sure no squirrel, leaf, or passing breeze disturbs his favorite person. Grandma Edie could hardly ask for a more devoted, if slightly heavy, blanket.
