Who ate all the candy.....

Let me set the scene. I have been at a conference in Dallas for the first half of the day. Then I decide to do a little shopping. No luck there. I head home about 3. Pull in the garage, get the mail, then walk inside the house to find Max inside. This is strage b/c we put both dogs outside when we leave the house. We lock the dog door and put a chair in front of the dog door (they have been known to bust thru the dog door, even when it's locked). So, I wander down the hall to find toilet paper strewn from the bathroom into the hallway. I make my way to the kitchen to find NERDS candy on the carpet in the hallway and the living room. I find 2 boxes of NERDS spilled on the living room floor. I finally make my way to the back door to see candy wrappers in the back yard, a torn up magazine, and one of my shoes. I go outside and find the NERDS bag and several NERDS candy boxes in the yard. I see a Baby Ruth candy bar wrapper and think....oh no! One of the dogs go into the kitchen and pulled the silver bowl of candy off the island. In this silver bowl of candy was the NERDS, a bag of mini Baby Ruth bars, a few boxes of Hot Tamales, and 3 bars of Ghirardelli chocolate that came from my most recent trip to San Francisco. So, now I'm pretty mad that they ate all my chocolate, not to mention the chocolate from San Francisco. Now, that I'm not mad anymore I'm concerned that the dogs are going to be deathly ill b/c chocolate can be lethal to dogs. I called the vet and they said to watch for vomiting and/or diarrhea. They are such bad dogs. Anybody need a couple of dog door ramming, candy eatin' dogs!!!

Ah, poor Bea and Max. Sounds like they had a wonderful day while you were our shopping. Hope they will both be ok!

I saw your update on Facebook the day this happened. I cannot believe that! We accidentally left Henry out once and he ate all my color pens that I used to grade papers. :c(
