When the sun shines into the living room at six in the morning, my golden retriever is using his wet nose to push open the gauze curtain. In his favorite linen hammock-style doghouse, three toy ducks are rising and falling with the rhythm of his breathing. This 65-pound big guy takes a nap five times a day in this castle in the air, and his choice just confirms the latest research of animal behaviorists – it turns out that the ultimate mystery of the doghouse is hidden in the tenderness that every hair is telling.
1, Material Preference Revealed]
The stray dog ”Bench” in the community taught me an important lesson. When I spread out 20 material samples at the rescue station, this lame Chinese rural dog walked straight to the coarse linen woven mat, buried his head in the rough texture and snored. Later I learned that the wild gene makes them have no resistance to natural materials that can resist biting. And my poodle “Cloud” is obsessed with constant temperature memory foam. Whenever it sinks its chin into the nest and reveals happy wrinkles, it is like falling into a cloud bakery.
2,Magic Equation of Space]
Corgi “French Fries”‘s nest is always two circles larger than the standard size. This short-legged thug likes to be able to straighten his hind legs when curled up into a fur ball, and his tail will not sweep the fence when he turns over. After half a year of observation, I found that the ideal doghouse should meet the metaphysical space of “getting in like a silkworm pupa, standing up and being able to dance”, preferably a round structure with anti-slip grooves on the bottom – after all, no one wants to see the funny scene of a dog flipping out of the nest due to sudden braking.
3, Black Technology of Temperature Control]
Samoyed “Marshmallow”‘s nest hides the code of the four seasons. In summer, it will consciously move to the north-facing corner with a mat, and in winter it will occupy the sun room with an electric blanket. And my Husky “Erha” prefers a doghouse with a built-in air-conditioning system – the Nordic-style log nest purchased online last year, because of its just-right ventilation design, successfully let this house-destroying demon sleep quietly for five hours.
4, Rules of Smell Safe House
Remember to cut up old sweaters and spread them at the bottom of the nest? Golden Retriever “Yuanbao” still retains this habit. Animal behavior experts say that fabrics mixed with the owner’s scent can make dogs feel ten times safer. Once I moved its nest to a new room, and this silly child didn’t dare to close his eyes for three days, until I used an ultraviolet lamp to illuminate the twenty-nine chew sticks it secretly hid on the floor – it turned out that this was its real “reassurance pill”.
When I squatted down and looked at these furry eyes, I suddenly understood their little thoughts when choosing a doghouse: it must be able to accommodate a hearty sleeping posture, but also hide a sense of security when alone; it must be convenient to show off the arrogant sleeping posture, and reserve a sneak attack Frisbee game line. Perhaps the real perfect doghouse is a magic castle woven by the owners with love, and every corner hides a tacit warm code.
