A Red Goldendoodle Is Wearing Frosting Mittens on the Kitchen Floor

Two front paws stretch toward the camera, each one covered in a thick blob of white frosting, and above them a red Goldendoodle stares with huge, startled eyes. His curly coat is a deep copper color, his nose is pink-brown, and a few crumbs of cake lie scattered across the tile floor around him.

A bowl sits at the edge of the picture with the remains of a dessert, and wooden cabinets and a sunny window glow behind. It is a kitchen that was supposed to hold a celebration, and instead holds a very frosted dog.

Goldendoodles combine the friendliness of Golden Retrievers with the cleverness of Poodles, and they tend to be social, energetic, and eager to please. They can also be very persistent when food is involved. Cake is not good for dogs, since it is full of sugar and fat, and chocolate cakes or those with raisins or sweeteners like xylitol can be harmful. If your dog eats a slice and you are not sure of the ingredients, call your vet or a pet poison hotline. Keep desserts on a high counter, away from the edge, and offer dog-safe treats at parties.

He lies there with his sugary paws held out, as proud as can be. The cake may be gone, but the memory is all over the floor.
