A Cozy Maltese Puppy Sat Beside the Pumpkin Pie and Behaved
A fluffy white Maltese puppy peeks out from a warm orange wrap, and just beside her sits a pumpkin pie with a golden crust. Her dark eyes are wide, her nose is black and shiny and her long white coat blends into the blanket's cozy folds. A lamp glows in the background, and small pumpkins and fall decorations are scattered about on the table. It is a very sweet fall scene.
Pumpkin pie smells wonderful, but it is for people, not pets. A pie contains sugar, butter and spices, and nutmeg in particular can be harmful to dogs. Plain pumpkin is usually fine in small amounts, but pie filling is not. Keep desserts well out of reach, and if your puppy eats some, call your vet for advice. Maltese puppies are small, gentle and friendly, with silky white coats that need regular brushing, and they often love a cozy blanket on a cool day.
The orange blanket and the pie match so well that it looks like the puppy planned it. She sits calmly, looking at the pie with a hint of longing. For now, her favorite treat is a warm cuddle, and that is something she has plenty of. The room feels warm and quiet, and a sleepy sigh is likely coming soon. Pie may be tempting, but cuddles are even better.
