As artist John Weiss remarked, “There’s nothing like
sitting by the fire with your loyal dog curled up at your feet for
a real sense that all is right with the world.” ". . . A heartbeat
at my feet,” is how novelist Edith Wharton described her dog. "A
Feeling of Warmth" is the perfect portrayal of both sentiments but
we can also identify with this Golden, warming his back now and,
in a little while, rising and turning to spread his belly along
the heat of the fire. “Did you ever notice that Goldens can lie
in the snow with their faces buried, yet they never seem to get
cold?” asks the artist. “Then they come into the house and lie so
close to the flames you’d think they could catch fire. Extreme temperatures
don’t seem to affect them much.”
