And of course, i have to give the other two a small taste, too. megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-50218404401959546132012-12-23T12:26:50.301+00:002012-12-23T12:26:50.301+00:00Last year Molly ate two boxes of chocolates I had ...Last year Molly ate two boxes of chocolates I had forgotten about and it never botthered her, other than her pooping wrappers from the chocolate for a few days.<br /><br />Wish Molly was here now, would give her a chocolate or two just to have her here for Christmas {SIGH}.<br /><br />Hope last nights shift went by okay?<br /><br />GillGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-41700403791408422102012-12-23T11:50:59.796+00:002012-12-23T11:50:59.796+00:00Hi John

He got hiccups and every time he hiccuped he spat out a lovely scented bubble. Daft dog, but it did him no harm.<br /><br />I think it may depend on the breed of dog as to the toxic effect of chocolate, my Springer Spaniels could only not tolerate imbibed metal. Chocolate, slug covered bread, anything mouldy went down and never returned. Can't cope with Springers anymore, too big and daft.<br /><br />JanetJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147299200960914730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-43922441999633659582012-12-22T22:28:08.438+00:002012-12-22T22:28:08.438+00:00Merry Christmas John.Merry Christmas John.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-3386335248963835442012-12-22T21:39:29.604+00:002012-12-22T21:39:29.604+00:00Here's hoping you have a peaceful shift too.

I never gave her chocolate, but our Shelly (Pekinese cross) once stole most of one of those very large Lindt bunnies one Easter... I didn't know until that chocolate is actually toxic, I thought just not good for them.<br /> She had seizures averaging one every couple of months... :-(<br />Perhaps they were connected.

So what 'Owl Wood' above says surprises me, though it must be that some breeds are affected less than others. If only they didn't have that 'If it's food, eat it!' mentality - just like human omnivores, I suppose - though even the latter have their likes and dislikes.
