The Spaniel Sat in the Leaf Pile. Clover Hopped Right Into It.

Orange and gold leaves have drifted across the floor, and a Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sits right in the middle of them with his silky ears hanging like two chestnut curtains. His mouth is relaxed in a little smile. Facing him is Clover, the small brown rabbit, one ear half-cocked and her whiskers twitching as the leaves crinkle under her paws. A basket of blankets and a stuffed toy bunny wait quietly in the background.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are affectionate, gentle dogs that usually love company, which is why they are often chosen as family companions. They have long ears and feathered coats that benefit from regular brushing, and the ears should be checked often for dirt. Piles of fallen leaves are fun for pets, but they can hide hazards such as mold, sharp sticks or, in some places, plants that are toxic to animals. For a rabbit, a leaf pile also offers things to nibble that may not be safe, so it is wise to supervise. Ask your vet which seasonal plants are worth avoiding in your area.

The way the dog tilts his head makes it look like he is asking the rabbit a question, and Clover seems to be giving the matter serious thought. Around them the leaves rustle with every small movement, filling the room with that crisp autumn sound. It is a gentle, golden scene, the kind that makes a person want a warm drink and nowhere to go.
