Loved By The Sun

Barley, a dog, blissed out on solar radiation.

Yes, it’s very cold outside. I hear you, I hear you clamoring for Barley Snow Pics. But I ask you to consider what Barley would want. And in that spirit, we will return to Barley’s snowy adventures soon, and remain in the sunnier realm of her ideal conditions for the time being.

True to her Florida roots, Barley is a proper sun worshiper. On sunny days during the warmer months, she will find a spot that’s been pre-warmed and flop down, soaking up the heat from above and the residual heat from below. With only a fine layer of fur and no undercoat to speak of, summer basking is one of the few occasions during which she can become properly Toasty, a status she clearly enjoys.
