A Chocolate Poodle Wrapped Himself in All the Yarn and Looks Away

AI imagepoodlecaught in the actyarn

Cream and pink yarn loops around his neck, winds across his chest, and wraps all the way down his front legs, and a chocolate-brown Poodle looks away with great seriousness. The wicker knitting basket lies on its side, with balls of yarn tumbled across a woven rug. A soft sofa and a blue blanket glow in the afternoon light behind him, and his curly coat is so full of strands that he looks like a very elegant gift.

Poodles are bright, athletic dogs with curly coats that do not shed much, and they are known for being sensitive and eager to learn. They love to play, and a ball of yarn rolls just like a toy. Yarn and string can be dangerous if swallowed. Long strands can tangle in the intestines and cause a serious blockage, so keep yarn in a closed container and out of reach. If your dog is wrapped up, stay calm, unwind the strands slowly instead of pulling, or snip them with blunt scissors. A Poodle's curls can trap yarn, so brush him out afterward and check for any he might have swallowed. Offer a soft rope toy instead. If you think he swallowed any, call your vet at once.

He sits there with a perfectly dignified air despite the loops. Somebody has a lot of untangling ahead, and he has all day.
