Penny Fell Asleep on Grandma's Newspaper Before She Finished the Page

AI imageyorkshire terriernewspaperlap nap

Grandma sits on the sofa in a soft blue cardigan, looking down with a tender, amused expression at the small dog who has taken over her lap. Penny the Yorkshire Terrier lies curled up with her chin resting right on the open newspaper, eyes closed and ears relaxed. The room behind them is bright and homey, with plants on the table, a mug, a pair of glasses, and a soft blanket draped over the couch. Short silver hair and a small earring complete Grandma's calm, kind look. Warm window light spills across the couch.

Yorkies are known for their loyalty and love of laps, and many will find a warm spot on their person within minutes. A lap nap means Penny trusts Grandma completely. Small dogs also like to rest in places that feel protected, like against a soft body. If your dog likes to sleep on you, a washable blanket makes cleanup easy, and sleep is important for a small dog's health. Always let a sleeping dog rest undisturbed whenever you can.

The newspaper will not be read for a while. Grandma does not seem bothered at all. The headlines can wait for a sleeping Yorkie. She breathes slowly and deeply, as only a truly contented dog can.

The best news of the day is right here in her lap.
