Charlie in blankets

After seeing some of the blog photos of our dogs having wrapped themselves completely inside blankets, Julie S. in Olympia, Washington, emailed us this photo of Charlie, our once-blind Beagle that Julie and her husband had adopted from us last fall. Julie wrote, "He got in the blanket that way himself.  It was NOT staged!"  And we can believe it, because we see the "burrito wraps" that some of our dogs get themselves in and we wonder, "how did they do that?"

I told Julie that I didn't think it was possible for a dog to get more comfortable than Charlie was in that photo.

    Polartec burritos, BTW. I can’t remember what life was like before Polartec.

    Any mention of Charlie brings such a smile to my face. And this is the ultimate. Now he can see his beautiful blankie as well as love the perfect snuggle. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I’m so glad that Charlie loves his new home. He’s been so well taken care of!
    Charlie, I think I’m going to do a burrito wrap myself! I need the comfort of a good ole polartec blankie or quilt….maybe I’ll warm it up in the dryer first!

    Great cover up!
    If Charlie didn’t have white on his muzzle, you’d never see him here!
    Thanks for the darling update Julie. : )
