The Littlest Witch Brewed a Spell Right on the Hay Bale
A tiny pointed hat sits at a jaunty angle on a curly white Poodle puppy's head, and she turns to look out through a glass door as though she has just heard a broomstick. She is sitting on a golden hay bale in an entryway, with a plaid blanket, a coat on a hook and a garland of fall leaves behind her. The soft white curls look like a cloud under the black hat.
Poodles are among the most intelligent dog breeds, and they love to learn. Puppy lessons like sit, come and gentle leash walking can be very rewarding, and their curly coat takes regular grooming. They come in standard, miniature and toy sizes, and all of them tend to be lively, affectionate and eager to be part of the family. Hay bales are a fun backdrop, but loose straw can be chewed and swallowed, so watch your puppy closely and check with your vet if anything seems wrong.
A witch hat is a simple, light costume that most patient puppies will accept for a few minutes. This one has a thoughtful expression, as if she is working on a spell. Maybe she is wishing for a treat, and if there is magic in the house, it is the kind that makes a small dog sit still for a photograph.
