Not for the first time we have a neighbourās dog for a few days.
Heās an old black lab, lots of grey hairs, and usually no trouble at all.
Neighbour had previously warned us about not leaving any food within reach, but I hadnāt thought about intact packs of chocolate Christmas presents - all well wrapped and inside carrier bags on the dining room floor.
While I was busy in the kitchen the other night he found one of those big ball packs of Lindor ) and ripped all the outer packaging off, but wasnāt able - thank goodness - to get into the metal ball.
But he also found a pack of Waitrose Orangetti (orange peel in dark chocolate) ripped it open and scoffed the lot! Plus heād ripped open the gift bag it was in.
Of course Iām aware that chocolate is very bad for dogs, but frankly I wasnāt going to take him to an out of hours vet (ludicrously expensive anywhere around here) to have his stomach pumped. So there was a bit of an anxious night Luckily heās been absolutely fine ever since. He wasnāt even sick.
He didnāt touch a pack of dark chocolate ginger, intended for a Dbro who loves it - presumably it didnāt smell sufficiently enticing.
Iām off to the shops later to replace them all.
Apart from that, heās a lovely old boy! š¶
