Lump

Do dogs hibernate?

For the past couple of days, ever since the weather switched from still warm and fall-like to winterish, Layla has been a huge lazy dog. She curls up on her pillow in the living room, or if I have the heater on upstairs, she will curl up on her pillow up there. She'll still play hard with us, but for the most part she is lounging around. For example, right now she and Hal are on the couch sharing a blanket, both taking a little snooze.

She's eating and drinking normally and she looks and feels the same, so we don't think she's sick. She barked at someone in the neighborhood today just like normal. She's just being a lump! She's letting the weather calm her into a ball of warm sloth. Just like her parents.

I think she's becoming an "adult." She's nearly three and so she's exiting the high-energy pup stage and moving into the more relaxed adult stage.

In any case, she's awfully cute.
