Warm Fur

This picture is made of:, thyme, seaweed, cinnamon, pansy, maple, cotton, poinsettia, daylily, birch, baby bella mushrooms, black mushrooms, Yunnan bark mushrooms and two or three other kinds of mushrooms.

My thoughts:  Do you think that dogs realize that the fire causes the air to be warm in front of the fireplace, or do they just walk by and think, “It feels good here,” without contemplating why? I wonder how much animals understand and think about. Whatever his mental capacity, I think it’s very safe to assume that this dog is thoroughly happy lying  on his rug in front of the fire.
