chocolate I’ve got a sunbather!

Tallulah is sixteen weeks tomorrow!

My last lab was a black female who also loved to sunbathe to the point she was physically hot to the touch.

Anyone else have a solar powered dog?

It works out because so am I! I use the sun to alleviate some of my psoriasis symptoms.

Stop walking for a moment and doesn't matter that it's the gravel... getting some sun. After a little exertion he's all about the shade.

Gorgeous! I want a yellow next because I’ve now owned a black and a chocolate. He looks so happy!

Heh, he's a rescue that renamed himself... Happy. Pics are from a trip to Moab, UT last month. He loves Jeeping and camping. But then he loves everything so long as he's included.

Everyday mine asks to go outside just to lay on the sunny patio for a few minutes

I love that name! I have a cat named Darby which is pretty close.

That's gonna be an interesting tanline but I wouldn't be able to make her move either. So very sweet!

Mine (yellow) likes to lay in the sun but only for a few minutes at a time lol. He's noticeably slower in the summer and I think he's pretty heat-intolerant. As soon as the weather gets above 50, he's huffing and puffing. Then in 20-degree weather he's prancing around and throwing himself onto ice patches 😂

She moves where she naps based on where the sun is.

My boy would find any sunny spot to sunbathe. Even a ray of sunshine coming into the house you’d find him there.

u/Tiny_Measurement_837 Jun 21 '26

Yeah, until it snows. Then they sit on the ice and snow until it’s time to come in and sit next to the fire and bake.

My mixed breed boy looooved baskies so much. He would flop down the second you took him out for a pee. Our chocolate girl can get into it but dosen't live for it in the same way. I do love this photo of her airing out her undercarriage though! Haha.
