The Corgi Opened One Eye and Found the Quilt Full of Ducklings

AI imagecorgiducklingscozy bed

Morning has arrived, though nobody seems quite ready to accept it. A red and white Corgi rests her chin on the edge of a rumpled quilt, her eyes still soft with sleep, while a row of ducklings lines up along the fold, some of them just blinking awake. Clothes lie draped over a chair in the background, and the whole bedroom feels like a warm, slow Sunday. A glass of water sits on the nightstand, and the quilt's soft folds make little hills for the ducklings to rest against.

Corgis were bred as herding dogs on farms, and despite their short legs they are quick, agile and full of energy. They are sociable and smart, and love being part of whatever the family is doing. Their sturdy build is also prone to back strain, so keeping a Corgi at a healthy weight and discouraging big jumps from furniture is good advice. Talk to your vet about the best exercise routine.

There is a reason quilts and blankets are favorite pet destinations. Animals love the warmth, the smell of their people and the soft nesting spots. If you share the bed with a pet, keep an eye on loose threads and make sure small animals cannot get tangled in the layers.

The Corgi lets out a tiny sigh and lowers her head again. The morning can wait a few more minutes. Everyone here has earned a slow start. Slow mornings are the very best kind.
