Grandpa Gus Was Halfway Through a Hat When Waffles Joined the Project

Grandpa Gus has his needles going and his glasses pushed up into his gray hair, working on a small cream-colored piece that looks like the start of a hat. He is smiling down at his hands and has not yet noticed the full extent of the problem. On the couch beside him, Waffles the fawn French Bulldog sits with loops of yarn draped across his shoulders and wound around his front paws, wearing a look of mild surprise. A basket of yarn balls and a pair of scissors sit on the wooden table behind them, and a soft gray blanket is folded over the sofa arm.

Yarn and string look like toys to many pets, but they can be risky. If a dog swallows string, it can cause a serious blockage, so it is best to store yarn in a covered basket and keep the needles and scissors out of reach. If your dog gets tangled, stay calm, hold him still, and gently unwind the strands rather than pulling, which can tighten loops around legs. Never cut anything near a wiggly dog without help. French Bulldogs are playful and love to be part of whatever you are doing, so offering a chew toy of his own can keep him busy. If you think he swallowed any yarn, call your vet right away.

Gus will untangle everything in time. The hat may take longer to finish than planned, but the memory of a Frenchie dressed in yarn is worth every dropped stitch.
