A Schnauzer Found the Reddest, Coziest Blanket and Disappeared Into It

AI imageminiature schnauzerchristmasred blanket

Tucked into a thick red cable-knit blanket, a black and silver Miniature Schnauzer named Pewter lies curled in a tight, peaceful ball. His beard rests on a fold of wool, his eyes are shut and the silver flecks in his coat catch the soft light. Behind him, a Christmas tree glows with lights, red pinecone ornaments and a gold star, and a blue bag, a mug and some stray socks lie scattered on the floor.

Dogs often curl up in a ball when they sleep, which helps conserve warmth and protects the belly. Miniature Schnauzers love to be near their families, and many like to burrow into blankets, so offering a washable blanket in a warm spot is a good idea. Schnauzer coats need regular brushing and grooming to prevent mats, and their beards can collect food and water. Keep blankets with loose threads away from a dog who chews, since yarn can be swallowed. During the holidays, a quiet bed away from the busiest parts of the house gives a tired dog a place to recover from the bustle and visitors.

Pewter looks truly comfortable, with the colors of the blanket and the glow of the tree surrounding him. He has found a spot that feels like the middle of the season. There is no better time for a nap than a holiday afternoon.
