So, my dog ate a popsicle stick....

No, but I dropped $1200 on my Rhodesian Ridgeback earlier this year for treatment of a stomach ailment the vet said may have been caused by 'stress'.
Stress????
The only worry in this dog's life is if his next meal is going to be 5 minutes late!

Lol! That's great! Sounds like Merlin. :cheers:

You have a great point in that dogs can digest almost anything and the chocolate warning is a good one.

Regarding dropped food, you should seen Maxie and I after I dropped a full piece of bread. I felt like I was battling Cerberus, the mythic three headed dog of Hades. After about a minute of trying to get it out of her mouth it became about the principal of the thing, not the bread itself. After about 5 minutes we called it a draw as we each had half.
