After the Presents Were Open, the Samoyed Claimed the Paper Pile

AI imagesamoyedchristmaswrapping paper

After the gifts were opened, a white Samoyed has settled down for a nap right on top of the wrapping paper. The sheets are a blue-and-white snowflake pattern, crumpled into a pile that makes a rustly bed. The dog's fluffy tail curls over her side, her eyes are closed and her ears are relaxed. Behind her, a Christmas tree twinkles, a couch with a blanket sits against the wall and a window lets in soft light.

Wrapping paper is a hazard because dogs may eat it, and foil or glittery paper is worse. Ribbons and tape can also be swallowed, which can lead to blockages. After the presents are open, gather paper into a bag right away. If your dog chews on paper, offer a safe chew toy. If you suspect she swallowed something large, call your vet.

Samoyeds are fluffy, friendly dogs with thick coats made for cold climates. They are cheerful and sociable, and they love being part of the family. A quiet, cool place to rest is important, since their coat can make them warm indoors. Regular brushing keeps their fur healthy and reduces shedding on the furniture.

She looks completely at peace. A pile of paper isn't the safest bed, but for a moment it is the perfect snowdrift. The tree will keep twinkling, and she will keep dreaming.
