Three Bernese Puppies Turned a Pile of Towels Into a Bed
Three Bernese Mountain Dog puppies have dropped onto a heap of rumpled towels and blankets and fallen asleep. Their faces rest on the soft terry cloth, black ears falling over their eyes and white paws tucked under their chins. A lamp glows behind them, and a basket and a houseplant sit near a cluttered window.
Puppies have a knack for picking the softest spot in the house, and a pile of towels qualifies. Washable bedding is a practical choice, since puppies have plenty of accidents while they learn. Wash it often in a mild detergent and make sure to check for loose threads. Because Bernese puppies grow quickly, they will soon need a larger bed that supports their weight.
Sleep is a big part of a puppy's day, and a breed this large needs a lot of it. A calm place, away from noise and drafts, helps them rest well. A set bedtime routine, such as a short potty break and a quiet cuddle, can teach a puppy when it is time to settle. Your vet can help if sleep seems unusually restless.
This trio has settled into the best sleep of the day. The towels will not be getting folded anytime soon. It is a peaceful picture, and a reminder that a good pile of laundry can do double duty as the coziest bed in the house.
