Two Black-and-White Puppies Fell Asleep Head to Head in One Bed

In a round gray dog bed, two black-and-white puppies have tipped their heads together and fallen asleep. One has a fluffy white face with black patches around the eyes, the other is mostly black with a white muzzle. A couch, a lamp, and a pile of laundry glow warmly behind them, and the whole room feels quiet.

A good dog bed gives a puppy a place that is truly hers. Look for one with a washable cover and a raised rim, which many dogs like to lean against. Place it where the family spends time, so the puppy feels included, and reward her when she uses it. Over time, the bed becomes a signal that it is time to relax.

Puppies do a lot of growing in their sleep, and they need plenty of it. Two puppies sharing one bed is common, though as they grow, each one will need its own space. Havanese are social and often prefer to sleep near someone, so a bed in the living room or near the bedroom can help them settle.

These two look completely at ease, as if the day has been long and the bed is the best reward. Their breathing is slow and steady, and their paws twitch now and then with small dreams. Nobody in the room wants to disturb them.
