Dottie Made a Big Bowl of Popcorn for Movie Night. Teddy Had Already Claimed a Seat.

Movie night is all set on the couch, with a soft knit blanket over Dottie's lap and a clear glass bowl brimming with fluffy popcorn in her hands. She tilts her head toward Teddy with an affectionate, knowing smile, as if they have had this negotiation many times before. Teddy sits on the blanket right beside her, chest puffed and head held high, eyeing the bowl and then her face with the patient determination of a dog who believes in his chances. Cushions, a throw, and a cluttered side table fill the cozy living room, and soft daylight comes through the window.

Popcorn can be a tricky snack around dogs. A few pieces of plain, air-popped popcorn with no butter, salt, or seasoning are generally considered okay for most dogs as an occasional treat. Movie theater style popcorn is a different story, since it is often loaded with butter, oil, and salt, which are not good for dogs. Unpopped kernels and hard hulls can also get stuck in teeth or be a choking risk, particularly for small breeds with crowded mouths like Shih Tzus. Seasonings such as garlic or onion powder should always be avoided. A safer idea is to keep a few dog treats on hand for movie night so your pup can enjoy a snack too.

Teddy is giving it his very best effort, and Dottie looks like she might cave. Whatever is on the screen tonight, the real entertainment is right here on the couch.
