June Words #28 - Relaxing

My dog Chilli. The way he sleeps cracks me up every time. The most inelegant position ever.

He's the latest addition to my 9-dog family. I came across him in the cane fields, about 6 months old, alone, thin and very frightened. Now he's a sweet handsome chap, even if he carries a 50x-crossbreed pedigree. He's a soft and gentle animal.

He still chews stuff, therefore the scruffy bedding.
He may be dreaming.

Dogs definitely have some great personalities

Well done for your rehoming efforts ! He might have some springer spaniel in the mix, they are well-known for their "springer sprawl". https://365project.org/laroque/365/2016-11-09

You are a saint for taking in these abandoned dogs. Chili mast feel very comfortable in your home. The position of his sleep is hilarious.

Good shot

What a lovely story to go with such a cute shot.

Oh! That's just adorable! Will Connor won't lay on his back like that. =)

@marlboromaam
He’s got far too much class to sprawl his body around in this rather disrespectful manner ;-)

Jasper’s completely out for the count in that shot! Marvellous capture, I just love it.
I see what you mean by the sprawl - the positions are virtually identical. Chilli has a fairly long coat with rather full and messy hair on his ears. He also has a soft, gentle yet playful character, and I often wonder where he inherited those characteristics from. He could very well have some spaniel in him - thanks for the heads up.

Very cute, he made me smile. Fav 😊

He’s happy and feels your love… two magical ingredients for life

Chilli is chillin'. He looks like he has not a care in the world.

I wish I could stretch and scratch my back like this.

so cute

That is too cute! 9 dogs must make for a busy life - lots of love floating around.

Love this pose… our Sugar does the paw over the eye move frequently in the morning.
June 28th, 2024  
Great shot
June 28th, 2024  
Don't we all wish we could sleep so well. Lucky you for having 9 furry friends. Great Chilli capture.
June 29th, 2024  
So funny, great capture! Dogs find their own resting positions that we don’t always understand.
June 29th, 2024  
Gorgeous!
June 29th, 2024  
He certainly looks comfortable. I'm amazed that you have nine dogs
June 29th, 2024  
Ha ha ... super!
June 29th, 2024  
Such a lovely shot. Chilli feels completely safe and allows herself a moment of relaxation.
June 29th, 2024  
@cocokinetic It sounds like they were very, very lucky to meet you and become part of your family. Just feeling safe and cared for must be such a relief for them. It does break your heart though to think of all of the others who need a home...
