A Curly Brown Havanese Became the Softest Pillow for Five Kittens

AI imagehavanesekittensnap time

A chocolate Havanese with a silky, wavy coat has settled on a cream blanket, his head resting down and his eyes closed. Wrapped between his front paws and against his chest, five kittens are sound asleep: an orange one stretched out, a grey tabby, a black one, a grey one with white paws, and a tiny calico with a pink nose. A laundry basket, a pair of slippers, and a pale curtain frame the sunny room.

Havanese are cheerful, sociable little dogs that love being close to their families, and they can be gentle with smaller animals. Their long, silky coats need frequent brushing to keep them free of mats, and they enjoy company far more than being alone. Kittens like to sleep in piles for warmth and security, and it is normal for them to snooze for much of the day. Make sure the bedding is clean and the room is a comfortable temperature. If you have questions about the health of a very young litter, a vet is the right person to ask.

The dog's whiskers twitch, but he stays still. One of the kittens shifts, and a tiny paw rests on his nose. The blanket is soft, the room is quiet, and no one wants to be the first to wake. It is the sort of afternoon that stretches on and on, with a curly brown dog serving as the warmest pillow in the house.
