Four Saint Bernard Puppies Fell Asleep Under the Christmas Tree

AI imagesaint bernardchristmas treepuppies

Beneath the branches of a Christmas tree hung with wooden ornaments and tiny lights, four red and white Saint Bernard puppies are sleeping in a heap. They lie on a cream knit blanket with chins on backs and paws curled up, and a warm lamp glows behind them. A pair of slippers and a cozy sofa complete the scene.

Holiday trees are beautiful, but they hold a few hazards for pets. Tinsel, ribbon and breakable ornaments can be harmful if swallowed, and electric light cords can be chewed. Tree water may contain bacteria or additives, so cover or block the stand, and keep a young puppy away from it. Chocolate, candy and some holiday plants are also unsafe for dogs. When in doubt, call your vet.

Saint Bernards are known for being calm, and even a house full of holiday activity might not rattle them. Still, puppies need quiet time and a regular routine, especially when guests and decorations change the home. A comfortable bed in a calm corner gives them a place to retreat when things get busy.

These four are not worried about any of that. They are warm, full and sleeping, and the tree can sparkle without them. Now and then a light on the tree twinkles, and an ear twitches in answer, but nobody opens an eye, because the best present under the tree is a warm nap.
