Just so everyone knows, they seem to be fine...I let them out a few extra times last night just to make sure they didn't have any accidents in the house, but there didn't seem to be any adverse effects! Thanks for all your advice!! Now I'm just cranky I didn't get to eat my chocolate bar....I was saving it for a special occasion, since it was a gift from Russia!

It was actually from Russia, so I don't know exactly what it was, but it looked and smelled like milk chocolate, not dark.

I just walked upstairs to find that the dogs had gotten into a chocolate bar I had in my purse....how worried should I be? I'm assuming that all three got a taste, so 12 ounces of chocolate between 3 70+ lb dogs shouldn't be too devastating, should it? I've read that a chocolate bar has about 6 mg of the bad toxin, and dogs need between 100-150mg to have serious symptoms. Let me know if I'm wrong and should worry!!

When my ABD Bailey died earlier this summer, we knew for about a week beforehand that she could go at any time. It was incredibley difficult for me to know, and I cried every day, but had we not known that, my parents wouldn't have made it a point to bring her along when they came to visit me and I never would have had a chance to see her one more time before she died. For me, that weekend she got to visit us was invaluable, and I'm glad we knew about her condition. It didn't make the death any easier, but it did afford us opportunities we otherwise would have taken for granted.

Thinking of you, and sending all the strength I can muster.

My thoughts are with you today.

RIP, my special sister, Bailey girl. You were such a good dog that you held on a full week just to stop by and let me say goodbye. You were our good girl and a champion humper. We'll forever love you.
