Someone left the cereal cupboard door open this morning, allowing easy access to the chocolate chips. I came home from my daily school trip to find 2 bags on the living room floor, slightly damaged. I was relieved to find Angel was unable to chew through the chocolate chunks bag. She was able to get into the mini chips and it looks like she only had a small amount. I checked online and found a website with a chocolate toxicity tool. You type in your dog's weight and the amount and type of chocolate. The result was that she had only a mild toxicity and also listed the symptoms I should watch for. She vomited once but has been fine otherwise.
The chocolate chips have been disposed of and new bags will be kept up nice and high.
Angel has really been testing her boundaries lately, running off a bit, getting into the girls' rooms and backpacks, etc.., she is given plenty of play time, food, water, treats, bones, everything a dog could want. Why is she getting into everything all of the sudden? Separation anxiety maybe? It is just scary to think that if I hadn't come home, this story would be about something more tragic. I need to find some ways to keep her out of trouble or it could cost her her health.
OH Angela!!!! What's with you girl? Stick to your guns Jami and keep enforcing the rules. Maybe she's just going through her "teenage" rebellion phase, testing the limits. Glad it wasn't anything serious.
