Just a reminder to dog owners to keep any chocolate eggs away from your pet , and a good time to explain to children that chocolate is poisonous to them (dogs not children), keep your dogs safe

Just in case anyone is tempted to give them "just a little bit" we knew a couple who had a beautiful boxer bitch. she manged to to escape her cage in the awning one evening and found a small bar of milk chocolate that she ate. She died 6 weeks later of organ failure. so sad.

 Think we had a lucky escape a couple of months ago.  Meg, our Cockapoo has to be the greediest dog alive and will eat, literally, anything and everything. We popped round to see our neighbours and Carol who was celebrating her birthday had been given a magnificent chocolate cake by the children.  Unbeknown to us, it was sitting on the worktop in the kitchen.  As soon as Meg was off her lead, she totally ignored everyone and dashed into the kitchen where apparently, she sank her teeth into this showpiece cake, munching away for all she was worth. As well as being totally embarrassed, I was also worried about what might happen to Meg, having read about the treatments necessary after a dog has consumed chocolate.  Fortunately, she showed no ill effects and still remains as greedy as ever.  An important lesson learned (on my part), however, and a big sigh of relief!

Since we had our cocker spayed she's been an eating machine!!!

She hates doggy chocolate, but drives us mad when there is chocolate about.

We've just got it thru to our 3 year old Granddaughter that she mustn't give Daisy chocolate because it will make her very poorly.

Now she asks if it's ok to give her something, bless her .
