My neighbors have dogs that are notorious for getting into the holiday chocolates. Whole bags of Hershey's Kisses and whatnot. They cook up a bag of rice and feed them to the dogs and all is well with the world until Easter rolls around. Rinse, repeat.

Allyson, as much as they say it's bad for dogs, I have heard many stories about dog mowing into chocolate and not suffering any ill effects. I think that they are sleeping it off is a good sign.

Micky D's is trying to outcreep BK, it seems.
This is my anti-earworm song:
"AND! They're coming to take me away, ha ha! They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha ha! To the funny farm with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and wiggle their thumbs and toes and..."
Usually works.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks for the chart. I'm worried about them, still. He says they seem okay.

It looks like the average beagle would have to eat at least a third of a bag of chocolate chips to get sick and close to the whole bag for a potentially fatal dose.
My dog apparently ate a couple of ounces of weeds and then threw them up this afternoon.

It's the size of the dogs and the purity of the chocolate that have to be taken into account. Was it dark chocolate?

My sister's dog ate an entire bag of Reese's cups once--including the wrappers. She suffered no ill effects other than from the barfing we induced (giving a dog a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide makes them ralph ever so effectively). And yeah, it's the really good dark chocolate that's the worst offender--Nestles or Hershey's, not so much.

My recipe yields 4 dozen, and is a cup of semi-sweet, and a cup of milk chocolate chips.
The dogs ate about 14-16 cookies.
ETA:, I think Harrison is about twenty four pounds, and Rudy is likely 2-4 pounds lighter/smaller.
I'm just judging by how much bigger they are than Mona, who is about 14-15 pounds.
