Chihuahua Parking Her Bed Next To The Heater For Winter Is All Too Relatable
Every dog has its day, and its season! Some dogs, for example, love winter and thrive in cold weather. Others, though? Not so much. Luckily, one adorable Chihuahua has found the sweetest solution to seasonal cold thanks to a good heater and a cleverly placed bed. This pup's snuggles are captured in a popular TikTok video, and nearly 500,000 people have related to her need for warmth from the wintry cold.

She's called Shark Teeth — Sharky for short — and she's a very cold girl. Thankfully, though, Sharky has found the perfect spot by the heater for her bed, so she can truly relax. Her dog mom joked that she'll "park it here all winter," and with how serene she seems, it's easy to believe. Viewers shared photos of their own little fur babies staying warm by the heater in the comments, showing just how relatable this seasonal struggle really is. Like one commenter even said, "Little dogs love being warm." Yup, little dogs and many humans, too!
How you can keep your own pup warm all winter
Shark Teeth the Chihuahua is not one of those dogs that absolutely thrive in winter months, and that's okay! Small dogs with short hair like Sharky tend to run colder than their larger, furrier counterparts — even indoors. So, what can be done to keep these pups warm all year round?
First off, be sure to take note of any shivering or shaking, whimpering, or cold ears that may all be signs your pup is a bit on the colder side, regardless of the season. Understanding a dog's body language, like Sharky's calm demeanor in the video showing she's comfortable, is a great way to begin to respond to your pet's needs. Also shown in the video? A designated warm space. Sharky's warm spot by the heater is great, and in warmer months, simply keeping her bed in a sunnier area could have similar effects.
Investing in a doggy wardrobe to add an extra layer, opting for a heated blanket or bed, and keeping a warm bowl of water around are just a few other safety tips for protecting your dog against cold weather. Remember, these tips can also work well year-round if you have an especially chilly canine. As for making it through the winter season, Sharky's plan to "park it" in a warm spot sounds like a grand idea!
