The Golden Retriever Shared His Sunny Windowsill With a Piglet
The windowsill is wide, the sun is warm, and a cream Golden Retriever and a pink piglet have it all to themselves. The Retriever lies with his head turned down toward his friend, a gentle, tender look on his face. The piglet, snout resting on the wooden ledge, gazes up at him with wide eyes. Beyond the glass, the trees are blurry and green, and curtains hang soft on the side of the frame.
Golden Retrievers have a famously gentle nature and a deep need for company, and they often form close attachments to other animals in the home. They also love a sunny spot. Pets of all kinds enjoy basking, and pigs especially like to stay warm. If a window perch gets a lot of direct sun, be sure there is a shady spot nearby, since heat through glass can build up quickly. Always provide fresh water, and do not leave animals sitting in a hot window for long periods. A vet can give you tips about keeping animals comfortable in warm weather.
Let's call the piglet Pearl. She has curled her little body into the corner, where the Retriever's soft fur makes a cushion, and she seems ready to doze off. The dog keeps watch with a patient smile. Sunlight inches across the sill, warming them both. It is a quiet afternoon, and nobody is in a hurry to change it.
