Gus Kept Knitting Like Nothing Was Wrong. Then He Looked at Bruno.

Something has gone delightfully wrong in the knitting corner. Gus, in a blue plaid shirt and tan suspenders, keeps working his needles with calm focus, a soft smile hidden in his gray beard. Meanwhile Bruno sits beside him completely wrapped in loops of cream yarn. Strands circle his muzzle, drape over his ears, and trail across his brindle back and paws, and his wide brown eyes suggest he is not entirely sure how this happened. A basket overflowing with teal and gray skeins sits behind them, along with a stack of books, a mug, and a pair of glasses on the table.

Yarn, string, and thread look like irresistible toys to many pets, but they can be genuinely dangerous if swallowed. Long strands can tangle in the intestines and cause a serious blockage that may require surgery. If your dog loves to play with your knitting, keep balls of yarn in a closed bag or basket with a lid, and store finished projects and needles out of reach. Gently unwind any tangles rather than pulling, especially around the neck or legs. If you ever suspect your dog has eaten string or yarn, do not try to pull it out yourself; call your vet promptly for guidance.

Once he is untangled, Bruno will surely go right back to supervising the project. Gus may want to start knitting him a sweater, since he clearly wants to be involved.
