After the Gifts Were Opened, the Pug Fell Asleep in the Paper

AI imagepugchristmaswrapping paper

Sprawled across a heap of gold holiday paper, with his chin flopped on a crumpled white sheet and his black ears folded, a fawn Pug named Gizmo is fast asleep. His wrinkled forehead is relaxed, his eyes are closed and one front paw is tucked beneath him. In the background, blankets and a basket of plaid throws cover the couch, a tote bag sits on a table and sunlight streams through the window, lighting up the morning's mess.

After a lively gift-opening, many dogs fall into a deep sleep, and a Pug is no exception. Pugs are known for loving naps and company, and they often snore, snort and wheeze quietly because of their short noses. A little noise is normal, but if breathing seems labored, talk to your vet. Pugs also overheat easily, so make sure the room is not too warm and that he has water. As for the wrapping paper, it is best to clear it up once he wakes up, since chewing or swallowing paper, tape or ribbon can upset the stomach. Provide a soft bed so he can nap without crumpling paper under his chin.

Gizmo looks wonderfully comfortable. The morning's excitement has worn him out, and the paper makes a rustling mattress. He will wake up eventually, probably ready for breakfast and another look at the tree.
