A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The way my dog squeezes his body and face into my leg to fall asleep (wiener dog), I'd say no. Keep in mind, we're still warmer than ambient temperature, so it's not like we're not pumping out heat.
He's probably thinking "human, you're so cold, like death, gotta warm you up!"
I’m convinced this is why my cat lays on my feet, not that I’m complaining. Toasty kitty makes toasty toes.
Our wiener dog does the same thing. She just aligns herself with the nook between my legs and torso when I’m on my side. For everyone who thinks a wiener dog couldn’t take up much space on a bed, you’re right technically, but if you try to create space she will take it back. Always end up on the edge.
