Marshmallow Fell Asleep Right Under the Christmas Stockings

Sprawled on a wooden table in a patch of sunshine, the cream Pomeranian sleeps with his chin resting on his paws. Overhead, three knitted stockings in red, green, and cream hang from the mantel, and a garland of greenery and orange slices drapes along it. A basket of toys, a rope chew, and a pair of glasses sit nearby in a warm, cozy living room. His fluffy tail curls over his back even in sleep, and a little pine sprig trails from the garland beside him.

Pomeranians are small dogs with big, fluffy double coats and bold personalities. Their thick fur can make them seem like little lions, and they're quick to sound the alarm at anything unusual. They also tend to love cozy spots and sunbeams. A sleeping Pom is usually a happy one, though they can overheat in warm rooms, so make sure he has a cooler place to move to near a fire or sunny window.

Dogs sleep a lot more than people, often twelve to fourteen hours a day, and puppies and seniors even more. Naps in a warm spot are an important part of staying healthy. If your pup is snoozing, it's kind to keep the house calm and let him rest, even when the stockings are tempting. A quiet corner away from the doorbell and visiting guests will help a small dog feel secure.

We'll call him Marshmallow. Santa's stocking filler is in perfectly good hands here, since this fluffball is clearly the best gift in the house.
