Bailey_undercover

Now that the weather is changing, little Bailey the Dachshund is resuming his habit of wrapping himself deep in various blankets and bedding.  I got this shot the other evening in our living room.  Bear in mind that he manages to get wrapped up like this without any help from us.  Some day I need to be ready with the video camera to capture the Whirling Dervish routine when he starts winding the bedding all around himself.  It’s hard to explain exactly how he does it, but in the end, he is always totally buried … until he wants to come up for air, as he did here.

    If I didn’t trust that honest face of yours, Steve, I would swear someone wrapped her up quite neatly !!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, that is so cute & so much talent! I love how he gets it all wrapped around him. My brother had 2 miniature dachsunds & he used to sit in his recliner chair & they would burrow one on each side of him. You could walk into his living room & sit down & start talking to him & not even see the 2 of them. All of a sudden one of them would pop up! It was very cute. He passed away a few years ago from cancer & he sat in his chair a lot during his illness & having those 2 guys by his side gave him lots of comfort.

    What a funny pic! It would be great if you could capture this on video for those of us that aren’t there to catch that action. It looks like Bailey is ready for winter, & whatever it may bring!
    Hugs to all,

    OMG How cute is that. You seem to have alot of animals that do magical things at night. I think you should just leave the video on all night to see how they really party.

    Bailey’s burrowing is a great sign that fall is coming!
    If we’re lucky maybe you can get the act on video. That would be something to see!

    Our dachshunds do that too. We have to have three free blankets on the sofa at all times. If two are occupied by dogs, and I am using one, I get “the stare” that says, “gimme the blanket!” And we live in Coastal GA where it is most definitely never cold!

    My Jack Russsell does the same thing every morning. He hides because he doesn’t want to get out of bed when we leave for work. I can make the bed and come home from work and Kipper has unmade the bed!! He does keep my feet warm at night in the winter! All of your critters will be looking for a place to snuggle soon!

    Our doxie tries to bury herself, but we joke that she’s missing the blanket burying gene. She tries and tries, then gives up in a defeated sighing lump. She has however trained us well to cover her up for her. 😉

    Baron must definitely be part Weiner dog. Once we get up in the morning, he’ll go outside and do his business, then race inside and put himself back to bed underneath the covers!

    Love little Bailey! Too cute. My poodle/doxie mix is quite the blanket monster himself. He ends up like Bailey too – I don’t know how he does it, but he gets any blanket completely wrapped around him! Great picture.
