English Bulldog's First Time In Front of Fireplace Leaves Him Completely Mesmerized
It's nearly November which means the weather has a slight chill and all you want to do is warm up. Lavelle, the English Bulldog, loves fall and the cold air it brings, especially now that he's gotten to experience a cozy, smoldering fire to ease him to sleep.
Lavelle's first fireplace experience is nothing short of amazing. The little cutie can't look away from the beauty of the flames, and who can blame him? Take a look!
Oh, sweet Lavelle! He makes warm and cozy look good! This charismatic little guy earned that spot by the fire and you know I love when his mom @lavelle_maslow shares these special moments. After trying on his adorable new pajamas and joining in his mom's hype over Christmas decorating on the horizon, a nice sit by a fire is the perfect way to end a day.
What makes this soothing clip even better? Lavelle and his family just moved into this house, and it's his first time enjoying the fireplace's many pleasures.

The above clip is a follow-up to another video of the Bulldog that shows his initial reaction and it's love and first fire! It's obvious he's totally into cozying up to the fire, so here's to many chilly nights ahead so he can do this more often! It's called self-care, babes!
How to Keep Your Pup Warm During Chilly Nights
If you don't have a fireplace to keep your dog from getting too cold at night, The American Kennel Club has a few suggestions to help them stay as warm as possible this winter.
First things first: consider their age. The young, seniors, and those with physical limitations may be more prone to feeling the chill, so grab the soft blankets and offer them a place to stay warm.
Limit time outside to avoid frostbite. Ear flaps and tail tips are most likely to catch frostbite, so stay indoors when possible and be sure to bundle your pup up, especially if they're "small, delicate, or are shorthaired dogs." Even larger breeds such as Greyhounds should be equipped with a jacket or sweater, and heavy coat breeds that love the cold may need time to acclimate to the temperatures. It's also a good idea to invest in dog boots to protect their paws from getting frozen.
Offer them a heated dog bed or dog house. This will be especially welcomed by seniors who tend to get colder faster, but any dog would enjoy curling up in something that keeps them safe and warm. For outside dogs, consider bringing them in when temperatures drop, or offer them plenty of bedding, blankets, and all the things to keep them from feeling too cold.
And finally, make sure you have a plan on how to care for you fur babies if you lose power. Whether it's a battery-powered heated bed or a double layer of puppy sweaters, they're counting on you, their person, to keep them comfortable.
As for Lavelle, we know where he'll be this holiday season!
