While I was out she got into my candy stash. She ate 3 tootsie roll pops, 3 or 4 tootsie rolls (one that's about the size of a thumb, the others were smaller) and 3 or so flavored tootsie rolls. Those aren't chocolate I don't think. WTF. I don't think she ingested enough to even feel queasy, since she's so big. But good grief! I have a wrapped 12 inch long bone under the tree that she's been scoping out all weekend, why not eat that??

Re: My 60lb. lab ate chocolate.
My greyhound (who are known to have sensitive tummies) has eaten so much chocolate! A full LARGE Hershey bar and some gold coins. He also helped himself to all the snacks I put in my hospital bag when I had DD!
The only side effect was a little more poop and one wired dog for a day or two. He's survived.
When I called the vet they said they chocolate they worry about is dark chocolate and the baker's chocolate.

We have a greyhound too! She has not yet eaten any chocolate, except maybe something I dropped on the floor without knowing.
I think Baker's chocolate is considered the worst thing for dogs to eat. My dog ate stamps yesterday, a whole book. He's an 100lb black lab.
When he was 1 he got into the bathroom within a few minutes he had chewed apart my razor. He ran into our bedroom with the plastic handle. He had ingested the blades! After a $2,500 surgery I will never leave a razor at a reachable distance for him again!!
He hasn't done chocolate yet though!
our lab has eaten a whole chicken breast (raw), half a pan of brownies, half a pumpkin pie, countless pop tarts and of coarse a part of our wedding cake (on the morning of our wedding)...shes lucky shes alive!

My pugs do this too!!!! My boy pug also gets in my purse and takes out gum, lotion, tampons, whatever and tries to eat it - they're crazy!
