My friend Jeff Duntemann read my entry about the dog eating a candy bar from Debra’s purse and sent a note reminding me that chocolate, the primary ingredient in most candy bars, is toxic to dogs.  Fortunately the candy bar (actually it was one of those “sports bars”) didn’t contain any chocolate. I don’t know how much chocolate it takes to make a dog sick, but seeing as how the largest of our two dogs weighs less than 9 pounds) we tend to keep all chocolate away from them.
