Chocolate

Daniel had some chocolate for desert tonight. I would also have wanted some, but Paula and Daniel keep telling us dogs that chocolate is not healthy for us. They claim there is some substance in the cocoa which is toxic to dogs. Among ourselves, the four legged members of the household have discussed this and sometimes in the discussions, we touch on the possibility that humans say this about chocolate just because they are so fond of it that they want it all for themselves. The main proof that this is not the case, apart from the obvious fact that our humans usually never lie to us, is that Paula is not very fond of chocolate. There are a lot of things to eat that she likes much better than chocolate, but still let us eat. Over all, I do believe that chocolate is not healthy for dogs. However, it may be fun to discuss the possibility, just like discussions about the possibility of trolls in the woods or flying saucers from outer space.
