Grandpa Ken Dozed Off in His Recliner. Mochi Found the Perfect Spot Right Beside Him.

The TV is dark, the remote is somewhere on the side table, and Grandpa Ken has drifted off in his beige recliner. He leans back with his head tipped against the cushion, glasses still perched on his nose, wearing a green and tan argyle sweater vest over a gray shirt. Right beside him on the wide armrest, Mochi has stretched out with her fluffy cream head resting on the edge, eyes closed in a deep, peaceful nap. A low stand holds the television, a tissue box, potted plants, and a few remotes in the softly lit living room.

Small dogs love high, cozy spots near their people, and a recliner armrest is a perfect perch for a dog Mochi's size. It is warm, close, and offers a view of the whole room. If your small dog likes furniture, it helps to provide a little step or ramp so she does not have to jump down from height, which can strain tiny legs and backs. Recliners also have moving parts, so check that your dog is clear before raising or lowering the footrest. A soft blanket on the armrest can make the spot even more comfortable.

Ken and Mochi have clearly mastered the art of the afternoon snooze. Neither seems in any hurry to wake up.

Some afternoons are made for napping, and these two are making the most of every quiet minute.
