had dinner the other night at Maria's....well, all the girls are watching their figures for "season", so an otherwise fabulous meal, but no dessert. riding home, we were thinking lovingly of the box of high-end gourmet chocolates we had sitting next to the bottle of evening port back home. turn the key, open the door to the usual wags and spins from Miss Ruby.....and scraps of chocolate wrappings all over the floor!! she had eaten the ENTIRE box! it had to be nearly 30 worth of chocolates...liquor-filled, double dipped, nougat centers...all gone! i swear she licked the wax paper clean.
ok, so i have to admit it was my second thought that indeed chocolate is very,very bad (even fatal for some breeds) for dogs. she, luckily, was just fine...though extremely hyper (double the just plain hyper she usually is) for about 30 hours.
mom, on the other hand was distraught. (not about the dog mind you!) her first thought....do we just put her out in the trash if she kicks it? (accompanied by mimiced doggie paws up in the air)
nice, thanks alot mom.
