This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Milk chocolate has very low toxicity for dogs, it's the higher cacao content dark chocolate that is a real problem. Regarding onions, while the issue is common to all alliums, garlic is the most dangerous, with toxicity starting at just 5mg per kg

During a visit, my mother’s and my dog ate some chocolate cake that the wind blew off a table. We notice it in 10-15 mins, vet said just bring them in to induce vomiting. We did that, they got an injection each, and vomited out everything soon.

In practice, vets want to take no risks by calculaing/guessing exact cocoa content, the best is just to have them vomit as soon as you can.

Which you can do at home if you need to with an eyedropper of Hydrogen Peroxide.

Paper plates can act like sails, especially if the slice isn't that huge

Never been to north Dakota eh?
