Oh man, that is so sad. Hopefully someone might read this and it may prevent a puppy/dog death.

People can't even keep more kids from drowning in pools every year, but here's hoping they won't let the dog eat chocolate.
I suppose some people shouldn't have children or dogs.
Our newfie ate like half a pan of chocolate cookies off the kitchen counter a couple months after we got her. (was 1.5 at the time) I tried to make her get rid of it and nothing happened. I was quite worried though. Now we don't leave anything out anymore on the counter. But now she's taken to staring at herself one of our little tvs. I sometimes wish we knew what dogs thought.
Newfie's are really cool dogs and glad to hear she's OK. I wonder they think too, especially when they do whacky stuff.
Joe, our son's Jack Russell got into an entire bowl of Hershey's Kisses last Christmas and blew up like a balloon from the chocolate. They rushed him to the vet and had his stomach pumped. It all turned out OK.
The vet told them more than 10% of the dogs weight in chocolate is the danger line - doesn't matter if milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
Best bet is to keep all chocolate away from them just to be on the safe side.
Just like kids - you got to keep an eye on them all the time. Glad it turned out OK.
Thanks OC and good info. Maxi's just fine and staring at me from across the garage.... Probably wishing I'd get off the darn computer and give her more attention....like she doesn't get enough.
Pirate just chewed through his harness, perhaps he thought it was chocolate flavored?
trying to fix it so we can go for a walk now,
I use a harness on Maxi and it made a world of difference in regards to walking her. Maybe Pirate was making an eye patch? :D Cool looking dog!
Not to worries as some chocolate is worse than others but none of its really good for them.And i have been down that road more than once as i do dog rescue and have 9 dogs of my own.about 5 years a go my best friend Kramer and his little brother CJ ate a whole bag of Reese peanut butter cup wrapper and plastic bag just pieces left.they never even got sick or the ***** from it.
The picture is of Kramer taken the day he passed away just short of 15 years old.He was truly a dog that was special in so many ways.I'm tearing up just typing this.:angel9:
I really thought Maxi was going to turn into a 75 lb poopshooter from the milk, but all was well. Sorry to hear about Kramer. Another beautiful dog that graces this thread with his presence.
