Texas heat doesn’t play around. By mid-afternoon, the sun’s doing its best impression of a blowtorch, and the sidewalks are practically sizzling. While most pups would be paw-deep in the AC vents trying to cool off, Abbi has her own method: snuggles.

Yep, when the temps soar, Abbi transforms into a professional cuddler. You’d think the last thing she’d want is body heat—but nope. She finds her favorite human (usually me), flops down like a sleepy potato, and wedges herself right up against my side like a personal space heater. She’ll let out a deep sigh, give one last dramatic glance at the sun outside, and settle in for a good, long nap. Occasionally, her ear twitches or she lets out a little huff, just to remind us that she’s enduring the heat like a champ—from the comfort of the couch, of course.

Texas summers may be brutal, but snuggles with Abbi? Totally worth sweating for.
