Rose Sat Down to Breakfast Under the String Lights. Yeti Pulled Up a Spot.

AI imagesamoyedbreakfastpatio

Scrambled eggs, ripe strawberries, a few blueberries, and a slice of avocado make a tidy plate on the patio table. Rose sits in her knit cardigan beneath a strand of glowing string lights, a mug of tea and a glass of water with lemon at her elbow, smiling down warmly. Yeti sits right beside the table with his chin raised, mouth open in a polite little grin, his dark eyes moving between Rose's face and her breakfast. Potted herbs and flowers surround the brick patio, and the soft light makes the backyard feel like a little outdoor café.

A few things on this plate are fine for dogs in moderation, and a few are not. Plain cooked eggs, without butter, salt, or seasonings, are often considered an acceptable occasional treat for many dogs. Strawberries and blueberries are generally safe in small amounts. Avocado is a different story: the pit is a choking and blockage hazard, the skin and leaves contain persin, and the fatty flesh may upset some dogs' stomachs, so it's best not to share. Tea contains caffeine, which is unsafe for dogs. When offering any human food, keep portions small, introduce one new item at a time, and remember that treats should make up only a small fraction of a dog's daily calories. Feeding your dog his own breakfast before you sit down often helps cut back on begging. If you're unsure about a food, ask your vet.

Rose may share a strawberry or two, but the avocado is all hers. Yeti seems perfectly happy just to be invited to the table.
