The Weimaraner Puppy Napped While the Scarecrow Kept Watch

AI imageweimaraner puppyscarecrowporch nap

Fast asleep on the porch boards, a silver-gray Weimaraner puppy lies with his head on his paws and his long ears flopped beside him. Next to him sits a scarecrow in blue overalls and a plaid shirt, with straw sticking out of its sleeves and a floppy straw hat. A bale of hay and an orange pumpkin sit behind them. The scarecrow stands watch as the puppy dreams.

Puppies need a lot of sleep, often sixteen to twenty hours a day, and napping is how they grow. A quiet, warm place away from noise helps, and it is best not to wake a sleeping puppy. Weimaraners are active dogs, so a nap often follows a good play session. Keep an eye on a puppy around hay and straw decorations, since chewing or swallowing them can cause stomach trouble, and talk to your vet if you are unsure. A comfy bed makes a good nap even better.

The scarecrow does not mind a bit of company, and the puppy does not mind his rustling straw. It is a peaceful pair that looks like a story about a quiet fall day. He may be dreaming of chasing leaves, or of the treats to come. Autumn afternoons are made for this, with sunshine on the boards, a quiet porch and a very good friend made of straw.
