Two Black and Tan Chihuahua Puppies Posed Among the Tulips
Two black and tan Chihuahua puppies sit among pink, red and yellow tulips, their fluffy coats shining in the evening light. Their ears are enormous and edged with long fur, and their dark eyes look out with curiosity. The one on the left looks to the camera while the other watches something off to the side. A wooden fence and green garden shrubs form the background, and the flowers rise around them like a bright wall.
Tulips are pretty, but they are not safe for dogs. The bulbs in particular can cause drooling and stomach upset, and other spring flowers like daffodils and lilies can also be harmful. Keep tiny puppies out of garden beds with bulbs, mulch or fertilizer. If your puppy eats something unsafe, call your vet or a poison helpline right away. Black and tan is a classic Chihuahua color combination, and the long-coat type, like these two, has soft, feathery fur that needs regular brushing.
Tiny dogs are also easy to lose among plants, so keep a close watch. Tiny dogs can be hurt by a fall from a lap or a couch, so keep a hand on a puppy and teach children to sit on the floor. Short, cheerful training sessions with tiny treats suit this breed well, since they are clever and quick to learn what earns a reward.
For now, two small faces sit in a field of petals, and the garden has never looked quite so charming.
