A Black-and-White Puppy Wrapped Himself Up and Peeked Out

AI imagecocker spanielpuppyblanket

Tucked inside a big, cream-colored knit blanket, a black-and-white puppy peers out with calm, thoughtful eyes. A white blaze runs down his face, a dark patch covers one eye, and his curly black ear falls to the side. His nose is a soft brown, and his tiny white paws rest near his chest. The room behind him is a little messy, with a couch and a pile of laundry in a cheerful jumble.

Snuggling in a blanket is an instinct. Puppies are used to warmth from their mother and littermates, so a soft, snug blanket gives them comfort when they rest. Blankets are best when they are washable and tightly woven, since loose knits can catch claws and tempt chewing. Check your puppy's blanket now and then for loose threads. If your puppy chews up bedding, talk to your vet about safe alternatives.

Parti-colored Cocker Spaniels have a patchwork of white and a darker color, and every pup's pattern is unique. Their gentle, friendly nature is shared by the whole breed. Plenty of gentle handling, calm routines, and company help them feel secure in their new home. A weekly wash of the blanket keeps it fresh and cozy.

Wrapped up and quiet, he looks like a tiny scholar in a woolly cloak. There is no place he would rather be.
