Oh dear...one time I was silly enough to leave my birthday gift bag on the living room floor and went out for breakfast. I came home to 3 packets of orange cream Poppets ripped to shreds and scoffed. I rushed her to the vet who said she would be fine because there's not much chocolate on them but she would probably be bouncing off the walls with a sugar rush from orange creams. She's a wee devil were food is concerned šŸ˜ˆ

Dogs are so greedy! A few weeks ago we had visitors and sat at the kitchen table having cheese and biscuits for lunch. They got up to leave so naturally I showed them to the door. When I came back into the kitchen the dog was just jumping down from the table with a block of butter in his mouth. I was only gone a minute. He was most reluctant to drop it and when he did it went straight into the bin. DD said with the price of butter I should have just rinsed it and no one would have been any the wiser šŸ˜µ

Had to laugh. I remember my mum hiding a box of Terryā€™s chocolates behind a cushion when we went out and when we returned the old, beloved Boxer had sniffed them out and snaffled the lot! Bad girl grin

Not for the first time we have a neighbourā€™s dog for a few days.
Heā€™s an old black lab, lots of grey hairs, and usually no trouble at all.

Neighbour had previously warned us about not leaving any food within reach, but I hadnā€™t thought about intact packs of chocolate Christmas presents - all well wrapped and inside carrier bags on the dining room floor.

While I was busy in the kitchen the other night he found one of those big ball packs of Lindor ) and ripped all the outer packaging off, but wasnā€™t able - thank goodness - to get into the metal ball.

But he also found a pack of Waitrose Orangetti (orange peel in dark chocolate) ripped it open and scoffed the lot! Plus heā€™d ripped open the gift bag it was in.

Of course Iā€™m aware that chocolate is very bad for dogs, but frankly I wasnā€™t going to take him to an out of hours vet (ludicrously expensive anywhere around here) to have his stomach pumped. So there was a bit of an anxious night Luckily heā€™s been absolutely fine ever since. He wasnā€™t even sick.

He didnā€™t touch a pack of dark chocolate ginger, intended for a Dbro who loves it - presumably it didnā€™t smell sufficiently enticing.
Iā€™m off to the shops later to replace them all.

Apart from that, heā€™s a lovely old boy! šŸ¶
