Bea Made a Big Bowl of Popcorn for Movie Night. Waffles Made His Move Early.

A big white bowl brimming with fresh popcorn sits on Bea's lap, and a few stray kernels have already tumbled onto the couch cushion. She smiles with a hand hovering over the bowl, cardigan soft around her shoulders and glasses on. Harold, in a green vest over a denim shirt, grins down at the third member of movie night, who has wasted no time. Waffles has wedged himself right up against the sofa, chin lifted to the rim of the bowl, nose twitching, droopy ears hanging and soulful eyes turned up as if to say a single piece would really make his evening.

Plain, air-popped popcorn without butter, salt, or seasoning is not toxic to dogs, and a few fluffy pieces as an occasional treat are generally fine for many dogs. The trouble is that movie-night popcorn usually comes loaded with butter, oil, salt, and flavorings, which are not good for dogs and can upset their stomachs. Unpopped kernels are a choking and dental hazard too. Basset Hounds are notorious food lovers with powerful noses, and they gain weight easily, so it helps to set aside a few plain pieces or keep a dog-safe snack handy instead. If you are not sure what is safe, ask your vet.

Harold looks like he is about to cave, and honestly, who could resist that face? Movie night is a family affair in this house, and Waffles intends to have a role in it, preferably the one closest to the snacks.
