What's dog chocolate?

Normal chocolate has something it that's effectively a dog poison, so you can buy chocolate that's made specifically for dogs, tasting similar but without whatever that harmful ingredient is.

I feed my dogs chocolate and they're fine.

Really? There's always stories about people feeding their dogs or cats chocolate and then their pet dies. I guess you either don't feed them much of it or you have some biologically enhanced super-dogs.

I think it's the lactose that harms them, not sure though.

I think it's just exaggerated.
My dogs have gotten into chocolate on their own before, and they didn't even seem sick, let alone die.

I just got paid $30 for making another "black metal"-esque logo for somebody, and it took me a combined total of about 40 minutes. Easy money. Yay me.

There is a chemical in chocolate that makes some dogs very ill but others are just fine (specialty breads seem to have the most trouble, mutts seem to have the least). We used to have a dog that loved chocolate cake (if we were eating steak he would stick to his dog food but if there was chocolate cake on the table he would jump up to try and get it, strange pup), anyway the only time that chocolate made him sick was one Halloween when he got into the Halloween chocolate that my parents were passing out and he ate every last piece, left all the wrappers though, but I think that was just the sheer amount of junk that he ate.

Also someone was asking about the effectiveness of crunches on the lower abs, crunches mainly work the upper abs so if you want to tone up the lower abs then leg lifts are a better choice (and personally I think they are more comfortable to do). If you do tone the muscles there then that shouldn't add any bulk and muscle mass burns more calories than fatty tissue and so simply having that muscle mass will make it easier for you to drop weight but some sort of cardio is still going to be the best way to slim down.

It's definitely the specialty breeds that have the dietary problems amongst dogs. My friend's family always owns pure-bred boxers, and they can ONLY eat their special food. Anything else and they end up at the vet with major stomach problems that usually result in surgery.

My proper 'wolf dogs' as I like to call them, mutts as far from pedigree as you can get, can eat whatever the fuck they want and they're fine. One of them even managed to have a plastic bag pass all the way through her without a problem. Chili, onions, chocolate... all the things that are supposedly unkind to canine digestive systems, my dogs can feast upon. Just shows how damaging dog breeding can be. I prefer larger and more varied gene pools for my pets.

I may have mentioned this a few times, but it is true and very sad. No one in my family gets along. My mom n dad are going through a very bad time (i know this sounds like something that should be under "whinning" but bear with me). My sister and I are the last of the family line on my dad's side. We decided that the family line cannot end like this.

We have taken it upon ourselves to try and find a way to patch up some of the differences between my parents and my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. I'm not going to be overly optimistic about this but it is definately worth all the effort that I can provide.

I'm going to find the number of my grandparents and start clearing up any misunderstandings. My dad needs them. That's enough reason for me. I just need A LOT of luck to carry through with this. It will be hard but I'm ready for it. Wish me luck! I will need it.

Odd, because in my life I've had a purebred Keeshond, purebred Old English Sheepdog, and a purebred Pomeranian, and they've all been fine.

I don't disbelieve it, but I've just never even heard of a dog being poisoned by chocolate.

Good luck, I know that it will take a lot of work, not to mention patience, but I think in the end you will all be a much happier bunch

That's what happens when you leave us for such a long time

[Stormtrooper of Death]

I had stuff to take care of, but I'm back and ready to go.

[Duane]

Hey Storm!

After asking around, and reading some stuff up, I've decided to make a huge change. Say goodbye to Zaney Duane, and say hello to new Duane.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

Hey Duane. Feels good to be back.

[honeythorn]

I'm sitting here in just my shirt at quarter to one at night, because it's BLOODY BOILING!!!! I'm so uncomfortable and cranky >

[Sir Canvas Corpsey]

I had a banana for breakfast and i'm wondering why they haven't made and started selling Eldritch-o's, because that would make breakfast more fun that it is...

"They say a man should always dress for the job he wants. So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaruant. It's all because some hacker stole my identity. So now I'm in here serving chowder and iced tea. Should gone to fre-e-e-e credit report dot com (YEEHAAW!) I would've seen this coming at me like an atom bomb!!!"
