Yes luckly. He's had a lonnnggg weekend! It was "Semi-Sweet Chocolate" which the doctor said is one of the the worst kind of chocolate that a dog can have. We gave him somthing (I forgot what it's called) to make him barf. About 12 hours later he through up 5 times in a period of probably 3 hours. We then took him to the doctor who said to put him in an over night hostpital. They put him on IV and drugs and had a much more restful night. The next day we picked him up and now he's doing much much better.
Ummm as a woman I can't condone the whole bit about you giving away your dog for your girlfriend. I mean, she's not even your wife! Too cute of a puppy to go like that.Arip said:this was my dog
i had him for 1 year, and gave it away, cause my gf doesnt want him
its a Shi-Tzu, and for me, is the most beautifull Shi-Tzu in the world
Funny, always playing, and when i arrive home, he (notice i use the word "he", cause for me, was like my son) always used to jump and bring me all his toys (he had like 20 toys i bought for him)

I was under the impression that it actually took an inordinate amount of chocolate in order to induce toxicity in dogs. For example, your dog would have needed to eat nearly 1 full pound of chocolate (according to that website, 12 ounces) to be toxic. Basically, you would have had to drop the entire bag of chocolate chips and for him to eat it all to be toxic. Unless you packed a full pound of chocolate chips into those 12 cookies, your vet might have over-reacted.
Though, if I had been in the same situation with my dogs, over-reacting on the side of more caution would more than likely have been my response too. I know that I wouldn't want to take chances with a member of my family (and they do become members of the family) like that.
(And baker's chocolate is apparently the most dangerous to dogs, ie. has the highest concentration of theobromine).

Tel said:...Ok, so Roj isn't technically a puppy, BUT, he was raised by a couple of Bull Terriers and acts a lot like a dog, we got him when he was still very young and he wasn't at all timid like most rabbits, in fact he was very eager to come over and check us out when he first arrived. When alert he has a very aggressive stance that really resembles how dogs stand when alert with all his weight on his front paws and his ears pointing forwards. I'll get a shot of him standing like that next time I let him out.
My mother doesn't like dogs so this is as good as it gets for us.
That's great! I really like rabbits, and the idea of one acting like a dog highly amuses me. Gorgeous rabbit too.

my old dog ate a bottle of asprin (the bottle too) and a half bar of chocolate and nothing really happened to him, expect he was really quiet the rest of the evening. lol he was one crazy dog.
Sadie "X-Dog"
Here's ours - we were told a black lab/golden retriever mix, but we think she's black lab/border collie. Either way, she's the best! And yes, that is an "X" on her chest...
The first two pictures are her just as soon as we got her, the third is when she was spayed (she broke the rules and licked her stitches...) and the last is her full grown at ~50lbs.

We have ridgeback who is actually ridgeless! It happens from time to time. We got Max 2 1/2 years ago from a pound. He is the best dog I have EVER been around. I know I am biased but he is an 80lb lap dog. We just had our first baby last summer and Max is the best big brother. He lets our son grab and crawl all over him and it doesn't phase him one bit and he is more than willing to give everyone licker kisses.
I will definitely get another Rhodesian in the future. I recommend the breed to everyone. Two of my friends have since each gotten a Rhodie just because of Max. Of course a dog turns out how you raise it but I think that the ridgeback is an excellent breed.
I will post pictures when I get home.
these were of my dog scooter about 3 months ago.
he passed last friday,
and this week has been lonely without him.
he was an awsome dog, played all the way from a pup till he died at 16 & 4 months.
btw that first pup is such a cutie

Sorry buddy, but I'll have to agree with the lady here. Women aren't worth **** compared to a dog. A dog will ALWAYS love you, ALWAYS protect you, NEVER steal your money, NEVER sleep with someone else, and NEVER make you choose between it and your woman.
A good dog is a good dog. Remember that. And next time tell your gf to not "let the door hit her in the ass on the way out."
I'll post pics of my woggy tonight.
This is my Miniature Schnauzer Peaches, she's about a year now.
This is when we first brought her home...
This is a more recent one...
And this is my other Schnauzer Sebastian, he's about 13 years old
