Two Tricolor Basset Puppies Shared a Dog Bed Meant for One
A gray plush dog bed holds two tricolor Basset Hound puppies, curled up side by side with their noses tucked into soft fur. Their coats are black, white and rich tan, and their long ears lie flat across the plush. The bed is set on a woven rug, with a blue throw and slippers just visible at the room's edge.
A good dog bed matters for a Basset Hound. Their bodies are long and heavy on short legs, and a supportive bed with raised sides helps cushion joints and keeps drafts away. Puppies grow quickly, so choose a bed that will fit them as they get bigger, and pick a cover that can go in the wash. Place it in a quiet corner where they can still see family. Many puppies like to sleep touching a sibling, and the shared warmth helps them settle down. If you have a single puppy, a soft toy or a warm blanket may offer comfort. Avoid putting a bed near radiators or in direct drafts, and check regularly for chewing. Talk to your vet about how much sleep is normal for your puppy's age.
Two puppies, one bed, and not a single complaint. They look like they have been sleeping together forever. Every so often, one of them shifts a paw and the other sighs, as if the whole arrangement had been planned in advance.
