The Weimaraner Woke Up Under the Quilt Next to an Unexpected Roommate

AI imageweimaranercalfquilt

The quilt has clearly lost the battle. It is bunched into a gray hill on the bedroom floor, and two sleepy faces are poking out of it: a silver-gray Weimaraner with soft, drooping ears and a brown-and-white calf with a pink nose and a white blaze down her face. Neither one looks in any hurry to get up. A curtain glows behind them, so morning has definitely arrived, but the pair seem to have agreed that it can wait.

Weimaraners are known for being very attached to their people and their companions. They were bred as active hunting dogs, so they usually need plenty of exercise, and they can get restless or even a little clingy if they are left alone too long. A dog like this often settles into a calm cuddle only after a good run, which makes a lazy morning pile like this one feel like a well-earned reward.

Calves are social animals too. In a herd they stay close, lie down together, and take comfort from each other's warmth, so a soft, steady dog next to her is the next best thing. Any time a dog and a young farm animal share space, it is smart for a grown-up to supervise, since a playful kick or a heavy leg can accidentally hurt a smaller friend.

For now the only job on the schedule is stretching, and nobody is rushing it. Call the calf Clover, and she has found the coziest spot in the house, right in the crook of a very patient neighbor.
