Remember, chocolate is deadly to dogs. Luckily, your lab was big enough that she/he wasn't adversely affected by it.

thread-hijack...or is adding "bad dog" stories allowed?
we just got a new dog and i have been not allowing her in the kitchen...my husband (who sometimes is a weeee bit jealous of my bond with my little jack-chihuahua) asks "why can't Lucie (med size dog) be allowed in the kitchen??? and Ebbe (not one foot high) can???"
i say "cause Ebbe and i work well together and she does not get under feet...and i might as well nip this in the bud with the new pup!"
well...last nite...left the kitchen for not even a minute...and guess where dinner ended up??? YEP...in Lucie!!!!
hahahaha...DH now agrees with yet another reason to not allow the new pup in the kitchen! and i got to say in a sadictive, joking way..."Ebbe NEVER gets on the counter!!!"
I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

My Mayer's Parrot, ***loves*** chocolate
. Think it's bad for dogs, it's very very deadly to birds (has to do with body surface area/metabolism and heart rate). But somehow she discovered chocolate and will attack for it - me, anybody with chocolate gets bitten. 
Not fun.
Glad your dog is OK, hope she didn't acquire a vicious attachment to chocolate for the future.

note to self;
now I know why I have cats and not birds. Cats do not care a jot for chocolate!
(I did have a cat once that jumped on the stove and pulled a small chicken carcass out of a pot that had been simmering to make stock! That same cat waltzed into the house with a pigeon flapping its wings!!!!)
ps, yes, this is serious hijacking, so beat me.
I'll just sit here unmolested and eat my chocolate.

My girl dog loves to chew on the base-board of our house. She'll stratch at it then eat the wood that falls. I have to put boxes up againist the wall so she doesn't get to it.

Our family dog, Delilah, once got up on our dining room table (don't know how, the chairs were all pushed in and she weighs 20-25 pounds, it is a far leap for her) and got into a pound cake that my mom had gotten for her birthday. Delilah knocked the pound cake off the table, got the container open, and ate all but a fist-sized piece. I was the 1st one home and saw the crumbs all over the floor and her bloated belly, and I knew what she had done. She was sick for three days and looked at us like we had done this to her. Incidentally, Delilah LOVES chocolate, and we don't feed it to her, but she gets into it occasionally and has never been sick. She's just special like that I guess.
