Otis’ Guide to Cozy Evenings 🎂✨
Today is a special one—Otis turns 10 years old! My sweet boy is officially in his double digits. He may be moving a little slower these days, but he still has that same spunk and spark that makes him the heart of our home. Otis has always had a gift for teaching me about rest. No matter how chaotic my day has been, when I see him curled up on the couch, it’s like a gentle reminder to pause.
So in honor of his big day, I thought I’d share some of the cozy rituals and favorite things that make our evenings together so special. Think of this as a birthday edition of Otis’ Guide to Cozy Living—with some of his absolute favorite “cozy picks” sprinkled in.
Otis’ Cozy Picks 🐾
His Birthday Throne
Otis has one dog bed that he treats like royalty. It’s soft, supportive for his joints, and the one spot he refuses to give up.

He may be older now, but his love for treats hasn’t slowed down. We’ve been giving him calming chews that keep him happy and relaxed—perfect for winding down in the evenings.

No cozy evening is complete without Otis curling up under a blanket next to me. This throw is soft, warm, and big enough for both of us.

While Otis snores away, I reach for my favorite oversized water bottle, because one has to hydrate. It’s become part of our shared routine—his naps, my sips, and a chill night of streaming tv of the evening.

A Birthday Wish 🎉
As he turns 10, I find myself extra grateful for the sweet, gentle presence Otis brings into my life. He’s taught me that cozy isn’t just about soft blankets or warm drinks—it’s about slowing down, savoring the little moments, and appreciating the love right in front of you.
I still remember the day I brought him home, a little ball of fur who immediately curled up like he owned the place. There’s a whole story there—and I’ll save it for another post—but it feels extra special to think about how far we’ve come together.
Happy 10th Birthday, Otis. May your year ahead be filled with naps in the sun, plenty of treats, and all the cuddles your sweet heart can hold. 🐶💛
