A Havanese Puppy Found the Pumpkin Carving Table. Then He Stared.

Chin on the table, a fuzzy black-and-white Havanese puppy surveys a battlefield of pumpkin seeds, orange chunks, and a spoon. His dark eyes are wide, and his soft ears flop forward over a very serious face. Behind him, a sunny kitchen with a plaid towel and a plant gives the whole scene a warm, busy feeling. Bits of pumpkin and a pair of gourds sit nearby, and warm sunlight spills across the counter and the floor.

Havanese are small, sturdy, friendly dogs with silky coats that need regular brushing. They are known for being sociable and clever, and they love being near their people. A Havanese puppy can learn quickly with gentle training, and he will often follow family members from room to room.

Plain pumpkin seeds and pumpkin flesh are generally considered safe in small amounts, but carving scraps can be messy, and a puppy can easily eat too much and end up with an upset stomach. Salted or seasoned seeds are not a good idea. If you are unsure what your dog may have eaten, call your vet.

Let's call him Teddy. He is not touching anything yet, only studying the evidence with all the dignity a puppy can manage, and the seeds are safe for now. He may be a very small supervisor, but he clearly believes every part of the pumpkin project deserves a careful look.
