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.

If Charlie didn't have white on his muzzle, you'd never see him here!

How nice to see Charlie again. He truly has found a great home and hasn't forgotten his old tricks.

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!

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!

Awwww, that's so cute! My aunt's mini doxie does this too. I'll have to tell her about your name for that—"burrito wraps". Too funny!

Trust me Charlie.....there are days I just wanna bury myself in the blankets and stay there too.....especially if it is frigid outside!

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