Ruby Tuesday – Relaxation Techniques

While our cousins over at Chez Herd are out running sleds and hiking trails, we here at The Herd Annex enjoy our daily walks, but are really experts at napping.  And as the evenings cool, we have each found our perfect sleeping spots to capitalize on this cool fall air.

Tartok moves in front of the open sliding door, letting the cool breezes run over his fur.

Ruby goes for the slightly more comfortable approach.

Thanks to so many of you for reaching out to Luke and his family and passing along your good thoughts and pawsitive wishes.  Scout and Freyja have posted this terrific button for us to show our support for Cool Paws Luke.  Feel free to post it on your own blog if you so wish.

    Dogs are the experts at relaxation, aren’t they? I bet that even the Herd sleeps well after a run! Here, with winter approaching fast, it’s hard to imagine choosing a spot in front of an open door for a nap!

    I’m sending my strong support to Luke too!

    That’s quite impressive! It looks like it took years of hard work and practice to get those positions down! Good job!! :)

    I feel like I need to go take a nap just watching them! They appear to have the right idea.

    We’re really pulling for Luke, too!

    Phantom is in total agreement with Tartok – he loves to position himself right in front of the open front door. If we ever get our post done today, that is where you will see him.

    TD says Ruby made a great choice. His sofa isn’t leather but it sure is comfy.

    Our comment disappeared. Phantom loves to sit by the front door as you will see in our post today. And TD says the couch is the best place to lounge no matter what the season.

    Quinn has always been an across the door guy but I have been working hard to teach him the special qualities of comfy couches (with lots of pillows)…he is SLOWLY starting to see my point of view!

    I have never known a Ruby to NOT go for the more comfortable approach. ;)
