The Kids' Table Got a Very Fluffy New Guest This Thanksgiving

AI imageyorkshire terrierthanksgivingkids table

A Yorkshire Terrier puppy sits on a little wooden chair at the kids' table, as if he's been invited. His steel-and-gold fur is fluffed up, his dark eyes are wide, and his front paws are planted on the seat. A paper turkey, a small pumpkin, crayons, a roll on a plate and a few berries decorate the table in the glow of a window.

Yorkies are small, spirited terriers, and they often act as though they are much bigger than they are. They love attention, adore being with family and tend to be alert and curious. Their silky coats need brushing, and their small bodies can be fragile, so supervise any perch above floor level to prevent falls.

A kids' table is full of crayons, paper and snacks, which are not safe for dogs. Crayons and paper can upset his stomach, and foods like grapes, raisins, chocolate and sweets with xylitol are dangerous. If a puppy joins the table, keep plates out of reach and give him his own safe chew or a few bites of dog-friendly treats instead. When in doubt, ask your vet.

For now he sits there with a polite air, waiting for someone to pass the rolls. He has not been served yet, but he is a very good guest. When dessert is served, he will be the first to notice, and the last to give up hope.
