Grandma Nell Poured Her Tea. Waffles Put His Paws Up to Join the Party.

The lace tablecloth is set with a white teacup, a silver spoon and a plate holding a scone, and Waffles has found his way to the best seat at the table. He stands with his front paws up on the edge, his white muzzle lifted toward the plate and his brown eyes glancing sideways as if he is trying not to look. Grandma Nell watches him with an amused, tender smile in a green cardigan and cream blouse, glasses and small gold earrings, her curly gray hair lit by golden window light. A basket of onions and a cabinet fill the warm kitchen behind them.

Teatime treats are tempting to share, but a few things on the table are not safe for dogs. Chocolate, raisins in scones, grapes, nuts and anything sweetened with xylitol can be harmful, and rich, buttery pastries can upset a dog's stomach. Tea and coffee contain caffeine, which is also harmful to dogs, so keep cups out of reach. Beagles are food-driven and may beg or counter-surf, so teach a calm wait on a mat and reward them for staying put. A tiny dog-safe biscuit or a small piece of plain cooked chicken makes a better tea party treat. Check with your vet about portions, since Beagles gain weight easily.

Waffles is behaving very well, and he knows it. A small treat of his own is surely coming.
