A Dachshund's Comprehensive Guide to Warmth and Comfort

5/8/2013

Typist: Wilhelm
No one knows better than a dachshund how to be warm and comfortable. Here's my guide on heated bliss:

Sunbathing is the ultimate in glowing contentment. The sun is even better than a lap but laps, beds and blankets play a close second in sizzling coziness.

Some dogs lay ON blankets. What a waste.

People beds are always toastier than dog beds

I love the sun.

Snoring on a lap

I have been a life long connoisseur of the warmth and comfort of large tails

Fluffy corgi bottoms make deliciously warm pillows.

If all else fails, I am capable of providing my own snugness.

So, so cute! Being small has some definite advantages!

Maybe it's being small that makes me need so much more warmth?

Thanks! Velvety fur like yours is nice for warmth too. Anytime you want to share, let me know!

You look like a snuggling EXPERT! Loved all the cute photos!

I am considering going back to school for a PhD in snuggling, actually. I now have just a Masters in warmth.

Awwww!!! You sure know how to sniff out a primo snoozing spot!!!

Wilhelm

Yes, badgers and warmth. That is what a dachshunds nose sniffs our best!

My sister had a mini for many years. It never ceased to amaze me how much heat that little dog seemed to enjoy. What would have roasted a Cardi alive was barely even cozy to her!

I got the idea for this post when I was using my corgis warm fluff as a pillow during an 80 degree evening (pictured above.) He was panting and I was cold!

Your fluffly Corgi bottom pillow doesn't look too impressed!

It was a bit too warm for him to have a snugly dachshund on him during our recent Cascadian heat wave but he endured. My comfort is all that matters to everyone at anytime, obviously.

You are a master of the warm snuggly nap...and you know the only other dog I know that curls up in a blankie like that is my pal Cooper the Doxie...we call him Taco Dog :)

Wilhelm

I like "Taco Dog." I get called "Wiener in a Blanket."

Aw, you look so snuggly!

Wilhelm

Thanks! I am a pro.

I'm impressed! And, yes. Human beds are definitely better than dog beds....

Wilhelm

5/9/2013 03:50:17 am

Why do humans even bother getting us dog beds anyways?

And don't forget sleeping in people's sweatshirts!

Nola, you're a genius! Laundry right out of the dryer is a perfect nap spot as well. I can never figure out why I get yelled at for that.

My dogs have always loved the sunshine...even if there is just a little sliver coming in through a curtain.

Wilhelm

5/9/2013 03:58:11 am

You have very smart dogs.

Finn link

5/8/2013 11:06:28 pm

Aw. Sometimes Finn will snuggle up to shield the sun from her eyes too. Too cute!

Wilhelm

5/9/2013 04:04:01 am

Are you sure she's snuggling of sun shielding and not just more warmth? She sounds like a sneaky warmth expert in training...

The Corgi bottom pillow doesn't look too happy.

Wilhelm

He's just too warm. Weirdo. I will never understand how one can have too much warmth!
