The King Took His Seat on the Throne With a Crown That Slipped Just a Bit
The crown is set with pearls and jewels, the robe is crimson velvet embroidered with golden leaves and lined with white ermine, and the throne is carved wood topped with a little lion's head on the armrest. In the middle of it all sits a cream Goldendoodle with curly ears and a sweet, trusting face. His gold-brocade vest shines beneath the robe, and the whole picture glows with the warm, rich color of a royal portrait from an old palace.
One thing the artist cleverly shows is the king's friendly expression. Instead of a stern ruler, this is a monarch who looks like he would rather give out belly rubs than orders. The curls of his coat match the swirls in the gilded chair.
Goldendoodles often inherit their sociable, gentle nature from Golden Retrievers and their curly coat from Poodles. They tend to be friendly with children and visitors, and many enjoy swimming and fetch. Those curls trap dirt, burrs, and moisture, so regular brushing and grooming are key to preventing mats. Because they like company, they can struggle if left alone for long stretches, so plan for exercise, play, and training. A vet can advise on diet and joint care.
His royal decree for the day is probably very simple: walks for everyone, and treats for the good subjects.
