A Golden Retriever Decorated the Bathroom With Paper Streamers

AI imagegolden retrievertoilet paperbathroom

Long ribbons of toilet paper hang from the curtain rod, the sink and the shower, and a light cream Golden Retriever named Sandy is sitting calmly in the middle of them. Her soft, golden eyes look up at the camera with a gentle, innocent gaze. Rolls and crumpled bits of paper cover the floor around her, and a toilet brush and a basket of laundry stand behind her, so the whole room looks like a very strange party.

Golden Retrievers are friendly and gentle, and they love to carry and pull things in their mouths. A roll of toilet paper is the ideal toy: it spins, it trails and it makes a huge visual effect with only a little effort. Many Goldens keep this playful streak well into adulthood, which makes them great family dogs but also a good reason to keep the bathroom door closed.

If your dog likes to unravel rolls, try storing paper in a cupboard or using a holder with a cover. A few shreds are usually harmless, but a dog that swallows a lot of paper can get an upset stomach, so call your vet if you are concerned. Offer a safe tug toy or a rolled-up towel for that pulling instinct, and praise your dog for playing with the right items.

Sandy sits among the streamers like a guest of honor at a very white celebration. With that gentle smile, she probably thinks she did a lovely job decorating.
