This morning I took destructoBoy to school and stopped up at Yukky Old Tesco to collect my phone which they rang me last night to tell me I had left there.
I was out of the house for about 25 minutes.
Only two dogs greeted me at the door on my return. The third was hiding upstairs.
When I went in to the living room I could see why.
Scraps of pink and red foil littered the carpet and a very forlorn mesh bag layed ripped on the floor. Not a scrap of chocolate in sight.
My assistant came down the stairs and tried to be my friend. Really really tried to be my friend. If she were a tall dog her paws would have been over my shoulders.
I turned away and rang the vet.
Apparently 75gm of milk chocolate inside a 10 kg dog is not a poison issue. Although I might want to keep her comfortable as her she may have a sore tummy.
There may have been a gasp of shock as I replied 'Good! I hope it hurts like hell.'
Now I have to tell d/Boy his secret chocolate Valentines are sitting inside the dog.

When my furry friend was a pup he demolished half a pound of Belgian chocolates belonging to my eldest. The only ill effects he suffered was a lifetime terror said son. And he's never eaten chocolate since!
ReplyDeleteAs a child I had a hamster who escaped and took one bite out of every chocolate in a box of Black Magic. Poor thing didn't last long :-
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Poor puppy/Bad Dog!
ReplyDeleteIt could have been worse though - they might have been YOUR chocs!
BAD Sweet Puppy! I had to chuckle a little, although it's really not funny. Puppers just wanted a Valentine!
ReplyDeleteOh Baaaaaad Dog!!!
ReplyDeleteMy brother's puppy ate a 200g bar of chocolate at about three months of age. Cost them over £150 at the vets for a v strong emetic drug that brought it all up again all over the surgery floor.
The dog itself only cost them £100.
At least your assistant had the good sense to hide so that you knew immediately she'd done something bad!

Oooopppps!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn my experience the High Intake Chocolate situation is rapidly followed by a High Output Vomit situation. Usually in the middle of the bedroom carpet or by the front door.
