A Red and White Corgi Pup Flopped Down in the Sunniest Spot
Stretched out in a long beam of sun, a red and white Corgi puppy sleeps with the whole front half of his body flat against a hardwood floor. His head rests on the boards with a soft ear folded forward, and his white paws point off to the side in a way that only a very relaxed puppy can manage. A brown slipper, a gray blanket, a tote bag, and a potted plant sit nearby, and the light makes the fur glow like honey.
Sunny spots are a favorite of dogs, and Corgis are no exception. Warmth feels good on a small body, and a patch of light can become a puppy's favorite nap spot for the whole day. It is common for puppies to sleep in odd positions, flat on the floor with legs stretched, and it usually means they are comfortable and secure.
If a puppy naps in the sun, make sure there is plenty of shade and fresh water available, since young dogs can overheat. Corgis have a thick double coat that holds warmth, and a spot near a window can get warm very quickly on a sunny day. Hardwood floors are a pleasant cool surface, but a soft blanket nearby gives tender joints a comfortable option.
This one has found the perfect combination. The sun is warm, the floor is still, and the house is quiet. The only movement is a tiny twitch of one ear, the kind that tells you a very good dream is underway.
