A cream Goldendoodle sitting beside a torn-open tissue box with crumpled tissues scattered on the table 12 / 23

Tissue Box Down, Goldendoodle Up. The Living Room Was Never the Same.

AI imagegoldendoodletissuescaught in the act

White tissues lie crumpled all over the table, and a cream Goldendoodle sits beside the torn-open box with the heaviest of expressions. His curly face is turned partly away, his ears are pulled back, and his dark eyes seem to be asking for understanding. A sofa and a plant are visible behind him, and sunlight lights up the paper pile. It is a tidy little disaster with one very fluffy witness.

Tissues are a favorite target for dogs because they are soft, light, and easy to shred. They also smell of people, especially after someone has had a cold, and that makes them irresistible. Goldendoodles are social and intelligent dogs who can get bored fast, so a chewing habit can start when they are left alone with nothing to do. Offering safe chew toys, rotating them often, and giving daily exercise can help. A small amount of tissue is usually passed without trouble, but if your dog eats a lot, ask your vet. Keep boxes on a high shelf or inside a closed cabinet.

Right now he is posing for a quiet portrait with his handiwork. He has clearly learned that a clean tissue box is a promise, and a shredded one is a story. He is also very sure that soft things should be shared with everyone in the family, so the cleanup will take a while.
