Date night at the animal ER....AGAIN!!

You'll NEVER believe where I just got back from. We took a little drive the animal emergency room in Portland tonight!! Here's the scoop....Earlier today, I bought a nice dark chocolate Ghirardelli's chocolate bar.....craving that chocolate (nummy for the tummy). I actually bought two of them because I couldn't decide on the flavor I wanted (toffee crunch or orange citrus). I snarfed some of the toffee crunch in the car but left the citrus in the bag. It was wrapped in nice gold foil and slid into a nice cardboard cover and when I got home from the store, I threw the bag on the couch. I didn't even get to open/eat the chocolate bar. Well....to get to the point of the story......when we got home from the ward chili cook off.....Bob found my chocolate bar 3/4 eaten in the middle of the hallway. Toby had ripped into it with all his might. He must have spent the entire time we were gone working on getting into this thing. Well, chocolate is toxic to dogs. So, we called to see what we should do and the guy freaked me out by sharply saying, "You need to get him in here IMMEDIATELY!!" Oh my....we started running around, yelling at each other, Bob kept yelling, "Who was the idiot who left chocolate out?"....it was not a pretty scene. :) .....long story short....Toby had to be left over night for medication, monitoring, IV, etc. It will be $500. Anyway, once again, we spent a Friday night at that stupid pet emergency room. I've taken my dog to the ER more then my kids!! (Which, is OK with me...considering I'd much rather have my dog hurt than my kids!) On Saturday morning we got a call saying that he was OK and we can come in and pick him up. So, after Nathan's game, we headed into Portland one more time and waited in the lobby for our dog. We sure did miss him over night and this morning!! He's a funny dog...expensive...but funny! Here's a picture of us picking him up at the hospital (our favorite date location!) ....plus, this is a good Weight Watchers story to share concerning not giving into your cravings!! A $2.50 chocolate bar turned into a $500.00 one....not a wise choice!
