Pink Roses All Over the Floor, and the Havanese Is Staring at Absolutely Nothing

AI imagehavanesecaught in the actbroken vase

Pink roses lie scattered across the hardwood floor, petals drifting in every direction, and the white vase that held them is now a pile of jagged pieces by the coffee table. Sitting calmly in the foreground is a fluffy cream Havanese with soft, wavy fur, staring off to the side as if the flowers simply fell on their own. Her ears hang low and her gaze is carefully fixed on nothing in particular. Behind her, the living room is in its usual cheerful chaos, with a couch piled with blankets and jackets, shoes by the door, and a glass of water sitting on the table.

Accidents like this happen, but broken glass and ceramic are a real hazard for curious paws and noses. If something shatters, it helps to move your pet to another room first, then sweep, vacuum, and wipe the floor with a damp paper towel to catch tiny slivers. Check your dog's paws afterward for cuts or limping. Flowers deserve a second look too. Roses are generally considered safe for pets, though their thorns can scratch. Other popular bouquet flowers, such as lilies for cats or tulips and daffodils for dogs and cats, can be toxic. Placing vases on high, stable surfaces away from wagging tails can prevent a repeat.

This Havanese is doing her very best to look like a bystander. Luckily, the roses can be replaced, and her charm seems to be fully intact.
