Building blanket forts is an important skill, whether you are a canine or human. Frankie is our resident master. He locates blankets throughout the house, drags them to a favored spot, and creates a comfortable nest. Doesn’t this look exquisite?

The tail covering the nose is part of the master level.

Unfortunately, he can’t control one thing to make this the perfect napping spot—Hu-Dad’s camera.

Why is that camera clicking disturbing my nap?

    You can never have too many blankets. They are also good for when you wanna play a little peek-a-boo with the others. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Have a great First Day Of Summer!!!!

    He actually brings the blankets to the couch? Would love to see a pic of this taking place. 🙂 Mine are only motivated to use ones already in place.

      Frankie Suave is above all of the mischief of Chez Herd. The youngsters respect him too much.

    One can never have enough blankets, be they for nest making or snuggling or for warmth. You look nice and comfy.
