Hi Angela, [snippppp] trendy tiled brekkie bar, want a lodger?

Only kidding Mrs K :-))

Brekkie bar???? Looks like she makes him eat on the floor to me. LOL

[...]

Eric: It is very sweet and it tastes artificial.
Angela: (Trying a spoonful) This is absolutely disgusting.
[...]
Angela: But the point is, you just had the real stuff. So how can you eat this fake stuff now?
Eric: That was then, this is now... Do we have any more of these pudding cups?

< have you tried Tapioca Puddin'? ;)

Did you know…chocolate can be harmful or even deadly to pets?

Depending on the form involved, chocolate can contain high amounts of fat and caffeine-like substances known as methylxanthines. If ingested in significant amounts, chocolate can potentially produce clinical effects ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to panting, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures and even death in severe cases.

Typically, the darker the chocolate, the higher the potential for clinical problems from methylxanthine poisoning. White chocolate has the lowest methylxanthine content, while baking chocolate contains the highest. As little as 20 ounces of milk chocolate, or only two ounces of baking chocolate can cause serious problems in a 10-pound dog. While white chocolate may not have the same potential as darker forms to cause a methylxanthine poisoning, the high fat content of lighter chocolates could still lead to vomiting and diarrhea, as well as the possible development of life-threatening pancreatitis, an inflammatory condition of the pancreas.

What??? 20 oz of milk chocolate might cause harm to a 10 lb dog??? Heck, If there were either 20 ozs of chocolate in this house, or some dog that only weighed 10 lbs, then I might get concerned. The lightest dog is 50lbs, so I shouldn't feed it 100 ozs of chocolate....100 ozs???? isn't that like just over 6 lbs???? Heck if I gave my smallest dog (any dog) 6 lbs of anything, I imagine it'd get sick. Or, Imagine what would happen if the wife brought home 6 lbs of chocolate, only to find I'd given it to the dogs. I imagine at that point, I'd likely have a couple health problems. Like the ole "frying pan thrown at the head" disease.

Update on the fake-jello cup:

[img]we test a variety of questionable foods. Please suggest items. I will place said items before Eric and before raccoons and keep you updated on the results.

Ok, I am a firm believer that anything from Taco Bell could be considered a questionable food, the sad part is that while i can admit this, i still love my late night runs through their drive through.

Debates on chocolate are all well and good, but...

It’s been over a week since the last racoon/Dr. K update. How goes the experiment, Ms A?
