One Jar Left on the Counter and a Very Sticky Weimaraner Nose

AI imageweimaranercaught in the actpeanut butter

A silver Weimaraner stares up at the camera with peanut butter smeared all over her nose, dabbed along her muzzle and stuck in tiny globs around her whiskers. In front of her, an open jar sits on the kitchen counter, scooped nearly empty, with its lid lying beside it, and crumbs and smears dot the surface. A basket of fruit, a plant and a set of keys sit in the soft light behind. Her golden-amber eyes are big and a little worried. We'll call her Pearl, and she's trying her best.

Peanut butter is a popular treat for dogs, but it needs care. Some brands are sweetened with xylitol, which is very dangerous for dogs, so always check the label and call your vet right away if your dog eats a product that contains it. Even regular peanut butter is rich in fat and calories, so treat it as an occasional treat and keep it to small amounts. Weimaraners are smart and athletic dogs who can reach high counters easily, so open jars should be put away where she can't see them. A smear in a puzzle toy makes a safe way to share the fun.

Pearl is hoping her sweet look will win everybody over. Her nose gives away all her secrets, and the jar tells the rest of the story. She'll probably need a wipe-down, and a quick talk about counter manners, before dinnertime.
