The Fluffy Round Bed Was Meant for One Dog. It Stretched to Fit a Guest.
The round, fluffy white bed was clearly meant for one dog, but it has stretched to fit a guest. A sleek silver-gray Weimaraner lies curled along one side, its velvety ears drooping and amber eyes soft and sleepy, while a cream and tan baby goat with tiny horns snuggles right into the dog's chest, gazing out with calm curiosity. A table lamp casts a warm glow across the corner of the room, and a basket, a potted plant and a pile of folded clothes sit in the dim background.
Weimaraners were originally bred in Germany as hunting dogs, and they are known for their striking gray coat, high energy and deep attachment to their people. They are sometimes nicknamed velcro dogs because many like to stay close to their family at all times. That devotion can make them affectionate companions, but it also means they may struggle with long periods alone. Weimaraners need plenty of exercise, training and mental stimulation, and their hunting instincts mean meetings with small animals should be carefully supervised. Their short coat is easy to groom, though they can feel the cold, which may explain why this one loves a plush bed.
Bedtime has officially become a team effort in this house. One soft gray dog, one little goat and a cloud of a bed make for a very peaceful night.
