Our new house is out "a-ways" (which is both a direction and a measurement of distance here in Flyover Country) from town. Unfortunately for my dog, Bella, that means that the town-dogs don't comeover and play like they used to. Bella is trained to not leave the yard or our property, so she didn't visit around town; but she has lots of doggie-friends who would come over to play (and beg doggie-cookies). Now that we live out of town "a-ways," they can't come over to play and she's been a bit lonely.....so we got a puppy.
Zoe is a blue heeler puppy, and she drives Bella crazy with wanting to play. She likes to try to bite Bella's tail whenever Bella wags it (which is most of the time). Either that or she trying to get Bella's ears, or her ball, or her squeeky toy....you get the idea. Zoe drives me crazy with wanting to chew on everything....but that's what puppies do. She's also still trying to learn what house-training is all about; so I have to watch her very, very, closely when she's in the house.
This morning, I dropped a piece of chocolate-covered pomegranate on the floor when I was doing breakfast dishes. Now Bella's a chocolate-loving doggie and she would have gobbled it right up without a second thought, but Zoe's a bit different. She had a blast for about 15-20 minutes, playing with it. Then she ate it.

First of all, a chocolate covered pomegranate? Sounds fantastic!! Second of all, congrats on the new puppy!
@Rachel....oh, they are wonderful. Robyn got me stuck on them when I went to her house to help with the twins. Found them at Costco....and that was all she wrote....
Too cute! (as for the chocolate...send me some!)
Chocolate is very detrimental for dogs to eat. What is wrong with you people letting a dog eat chocolate? Ask your veterinarian. Dogs die from liver failure because of chocolate ingestion. Google this if you don't believe me , try web m.d. and numerous web site that can answer questions of what human foods are very dangerous for dogs. For example onions and garlic both can inhibit blood clotting causing death. In the rural western U.S. apparently dog poisoning is an accepted way of life, owners of pets do not need to help this practice by feeding chocolate to their pets.
