Three Black Puppies Settled Into a Basket of Dried Flowers

AI imagecocker spanielpuppiesbasket

A woven basket of dried lavender and silvery eucalyptus has been filled with three black puppies. The pup on the left sits in front with his round dark eyes and the tip of a pink tongue, the middle pup turns to look past us, and the third peers over the edge toward the right. Their silky ears fall in soft curls. Behind them, slippers, a rug, and a mug of tea suggest a slow, cozy morning.

Dried flowers add a pretty touch, but pets and plants do not always mix. Eucalyptus is toxic to dogs, and lavender can upset a dog's stomach if eaten in quantity. Puppies explore with their mouths, so it is safest to keep decorative plants, fresh or dried, out of reach. If a puppy chews on a plant and you are not sure of its safety, contact your vet or a pet poison hotline promptly.

Cocker Spaniels are known for being playful and loving, and their puppies tend to stick together in a bunch. A cozy basket lined with a washable blanket gives them a safe sleeping spot, minus the greenery. As they grow, they will need larger beds and more room to stretch. A weekly wash of the basket liner keeps things fresh.

Three glossy faces, one lovely basket, and a morning that could not be calmer. It is a very sweet bouquet.
