It Snowed Inside the Living Room. The Apricot Poodle Sat in the Drift.

AI imagepoodlecaught in the actcouch

White stuffing is heaped all around an apricot Poodle like fresh snow in a living room, and she sits in the middle with her head tilted and her ears pulled back. Her curls are a little tangled, and one or two tufts of fluff cling to her coat. Behind her, a gray couch is ripped open and trailing threads, a blanket drapes over its arm and a laundry basket and plant wait in the corner. Her dark eyes have a soft, worried gleam. We'll call her Apricot Pie, or Pie for short.

Poodles are some of the most intelligent dogs, and they were originally water retrievers, so they are natural at carrying and tearing things. They are athletic, trainable and sensitive, and they can become bored or anxious when left alone for long. Stuffing can be dangerous if swallowed, since it can cause blockages, so call your vet if you think she ate some. Plenty of exercise, puzzle toys and training sessions can help give a Poodle's mind a job. Regular grooming also keeps the curly coat comfortable, and a quick brush-out afterward will remove any fluff.

Pie waits quietly, wondering if the couch can be fixed. The room looks like a cloud has landed, and her sweet face offers no explanation. Her people will probably sigh first and then laugh, and then they will find her a sturdy chew toy.
