Don't Eat the Brownies



     Sweets are no stranger at our house, so it was nothing out of the ordinary when I made a batch of triple chocolate fudge brownies. After the brownies were finished, I let them cool, cut them, and displayed them on the kitchen table for HUMANS to enjoy... I went outside to grab the mail and when i return a short five minutes later the brownie platter was on the floor and the brownies had all disappeared. They disappeared not by magic, but by a chocolate loving pup named Tank. I immediately freak out because this was astounding amount of chocolate and he had eaten the whole batch without leaving any crumbs! I rapidly call the vet and they said to bring him in urgently because this much chocolate is deadly and can make quick action as far as getting sick. 
     After arriving at the vet they immediately feed him liquefied charcoal to make him throw up the brownies and to help break down whatever remaining chocolate would remain in his body. I thought this would be a complicated task, because what creature would find charcoal appetizing? Well, Tank. The vet said she has never seen a dog so willing to intake the charcoal before! After eating the large portion of the liquid substance surely the brownies came up and we were sent home. The dark charcoal stained his fur for about a week with regular baths, but after that things went back to normal.
      I guess I really shouldn't have been surprised Tank would find a way to get the brownies from a kitchen table twice as tall as him and them eat them all, but the poor guy didn't even know the harm he was causing himself. To this day Tank is still a chocolate lover, but we will stick to getting his chocolate from the local dog bakery that is safe for his consumption.
