The Baron Checked His Pocket Watch and the Samoyed Wagged In Approval
A fluffy white Samoyed looks out of the portrait with soft dark eyes and a gentle, almost smiling mouth. His thick white fur glows like snow against the dim background. He wears a green velvet coat with heavy gold embroidery, a burgundy waistcoat stitched in gold, and a lace cravat and cuffs. In one white-gloved paw he holds a gold pocket watch on a delicate chain, as if checking whether it is time for supper. A gold tassel swings from his shoulder, and warm light touches one side of his face.
Samoyeds are famous for their thick, fluffy white coats and friendly, smiling faces. They were bred in Siberia to herd reindeer and pull sleds, so they are energetic and love to work. A Samoyed needs plenty of daily exercise and companionship, and a bored Sammy may bark or dig. Their dense double coat sheds heavily and needs frequent brushing, especially during shedding season. They can overheat in warm weather, so provide shade, fresh water, and cool places to rest. Ask your vet about grooming and exercise to keep your dog happy.
The baron checks his watch with a grave air and gives a satisfied sigh, because it is almost time for a walk. A punctual dog is a happy dog, and this one has a very fluffy opinion on what time it is.
