She Was Supposed to Stay Off the Bed. Look at How That Turned Out.

AI imageruby cavalierpuppybedroom

Stretched out on a clean white bedspread, a ruby Cavalier puppy rests her chin low and gazes off to one side. Her coat glows deep copper against the pale fabric, and her ears fall in long, silky curtains on either side of her face. Behind her, a bedroom scene goes on with its laundry and tissues and morning clutter, but she seems to belong to a calmer moment.

Cavaliers have a reputation for loving closeness, and many want to be wherever their people are. Because they bond so strongly, they usually do best in homes where someone is around for much of the day. Puppies that are left alone too long can become anxious, so building up alone time slowly, with a favorite toy and a comfy bed, helps them learn that quiet time is nothing to worry about.

If a puppy is allowed on the bed, a few ground rules help. Small pups can jump down and hurt themselves, so a little step or ramp is a kind idea. Many people also keep a washable throw on top, because puppies are not always tidy.

This pup looks entirely at home. She is soft, still, and a little dreamy, the sort of dog who probably keeps one ear open for footsteps in the hall and is already planning a nap that outlasts the morning.
