A Schnauzer and a Calico Aren't Ready to Get Out From Under the Quilt

AI imageminiature schnauzercalico catunder the quilt

A blue-and-cream plaid quilt is pulled up around two sleepy faces. A gray Miniature Schnauzer looks straight ahead with a calm, serious expression, his beard resting on the quilt's edge. Beside him, a calico cat looks out with one golden eye open, her coat a patchwork of orange, black and white. The bed is rumpled and messy, with a mug, jeans and a stack of cloth in the background. It looks like the first slow minutes of a morning.

Many pets love to burrow under blankets, because it recreates the warm, enclosed feeling of a den. Cats especially like to hide and rest where they can watch what is happening around them. Miniature Schnauzers are sturdy dogs with a wiry coat and a lively personality, often devoted to their families. When a dog and cat share a bed, it's a good idea to wash bedding regularly and to give each pet a separate sleeping spot too, so they can choose their company. If either pet seems restless, talk to your vet about their rest.

This pair isn't quite ready to get up. They both look out with calm eyes, in no hurry for breakfast. A warm quilt and a friend to share it with can make a morning last as long as you like. Breakfast can wait, and so can the rest of the day, at least for a few more minutes.
