Sunday was the Winter Solstice. It marked the shortest day of the year and the first day of Winter.
The brown dawgs celebrated by taking a winter nap. Lucky for Thunder, Santa dropped by a few days early and left him a new bed. 😉
Actually, last week I just happened to stumble on a sale and found a nice big bed made of orthopedic foam. I always have trouble finding beds that are large enough for Thunder so I scooped this one up and headed home with it.
What did Thunder think of the new bed? He got right on it and pretty much stayed on it as if to let the others know it was “his”. Other than to eat and go out, I don’t think he budged for two whole days.
Storm inherited Thunder’s old bed which she has wanted for some time.
How did you spend the first day of Winter?
We had a snuggle day on the first day of Winter and we are sure are looking forward to the longer days. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
What a great find, love Thunder,,,such a sweet senior. Is that Nestle hiding in her bed??
Yes she is. All three were happily snoozing and as Freighter’s Whistle shows, he was busy hoping around…lol.
I would have liked to spend it like Thunder did.
I’m with Thunder. Relaxing on a comfy bed seems to be the pyrfect way to spend a cold, winter day. I have trouble finding beds big enough for the fluffies too. We eventually bought foam padding from Home Depot, cut it to size, and added a cover.
I got a new giant oath bed, too! Mom said it was on sale!! It’s MINE!!

I have a vacation coming up. I am all too ready to take a long winter’s nap.
No dog bed for Phoebe. For some inexplicable reason, she pees on them. Not on anything else. Ever. But a dog bed, every time.
it’s a great idea to spend the shortest day of the year… and the first dream you will have on a new bed comes true… hope you dreamt about squirrels and ice cream :o)
Katie has her big therapeutic bed, but Bailie and I like cuddle beds, and we always have the same ones because Mom thinks we are the same and we usually sleep in the same area so it looks better.
I so wish I could have slept the whole entire first day of winter! BOL! I have been so super busy this year with Christmas stuff!

Awesome bed! We did a little bit of snoozing too…the day was too short to do much else, right? 🙂
wow Thunder certainly knows to make himself comfortable at home 😀
