Daughter
When daughter was a little over a year old and toddling around on her hind legs around Chrimble time we spent a ridiculous amount of money on a real tree (as we have every year) and brand new decorations that she and her Mum could spend a happy evening decorating the tree with enabling lots of photographs that could later be used to show her as a small person.

Once tree up we'd left her alone with the dog in the living room for less than five minutes when we came back in to see her taking the chocolate decorations off the tree and feeding a (very satisfied looking) dog.

Christmas decorations made of chocolate? FAIL.

Did your dog die?
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Our dog was sensible and never ate it even when we offered it to her (this was before we found out it was poisonous, we we're complete fuckers)

they don't die? A neighbours dog ate three Easter eggs by accident and was fine

No it wasn't
it died but they got a replacement so the kids didn't get upset. Sorry you had to find out this way.

Considering dogs will do a shit, eat the shit

vomit the shit and then eat it again I think they have stronger constitutions than we give them credit for!!

Dogs also like to eat cat shit
for some odd reason. I think it's something to do with the sort of food that cats eat.

I understand
you can feed cat food to dogs, but not vice versa.

In other pet food news, dog and cat food is taste tested....by humans.

I wonder who they get to do that job?
Actually I wonder how well it pays? Hmmmm....

Nope.
Dog was fine, just with an extra-satisfied look on face.
