Every Night Grandpa Ken Tucks Mochi Into Bed the Exact Same Way
It is bedtime, and Grandpa Ken is giving Mochi the full tuck-in treatment. He kneels beside a plush round green dog bed in a brown sweater vest over a blue plaid shirt, glasses on, gently smoothing a soft cream blanket over the little Havanese's shoulders. Mochi lies snuggled in the bed with her fluffy head resting on its rim, dark eyes looking up with a sleepy, trusting expression. Toys are scattered across the wooden floor, slippers sit by the doorway, and a gray couch with a draped throw and a potted plant sit in the soft afternoon light behind them.
A consistent bedtime routine helps many dogs settle more easily at night. Simple steps like a last bathroom trip, a calm cuddle, and settling into the same bed each night signal that it is time to rest. Small dogs like Havanese can get chilly, so a soft blanket and a bed with raised sides that they can curl against are often appreciated. Place the bed away from drafts and heaters. Because Havanese love being near their people, many sleep best when their bed is in the same room as their owner. If your dog suddenly has trouble settling, a vet check can rule out discomfort.
Ken's careful hands and Mochi's sleepy eyes say this is a well-practiced nightly ritual.
Sweet dreams come easier when someone takes the time to tuck you in just right.
