Thanks for the chart. I'm worried about them, still. He says they seem okay.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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

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.

Art Crawl!!!
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.

That doesn't sound too bad, Allyson. Bless their canine hearts--they're just programmed to eat whatever they can get to.
Why am I suddenly hungry for chocolate chip cookies???
DH is taking his turn in Las Vegas. I put the kids to bed and had to use the snow blower on the driveway--we got at least 4-5 inches today. I learned my lesson--the last snow we had, we didn't clear the drive and I got stuck in it when it got all slushy and gross. I'd like to be able to put the snow blower away for the year, though. Really.
So. Done. With. Winter.

Bearing in mind that math is not my strong suit, it sounds like even if one dog got all the cookies, he still would have only eaten 3-4 ounces of mixed chocolate, and milk chocolate is less toxic than semisweet. The chart indicates that it would take 2 ounces of mixed chocolate to make a 20-pound dog have intestinal symptoms and 10+ ounces for "potential death."

The emergency vet people said they'll be okay. From now on? I only bring peanut butter cookies.
