Doodle Ate Father's Day Present :-(

[Wynnie & Jim]

My DW decided to buy me two pastries for Father's Day. One was a chocolate croissant and one was a blueberry tart. I poured myself a cup of coffee and took the pastries to my deck and put them down on a low cocktail table. A neighbor stopped to say hello and as I was chatting, my DW surprised a sneaky little puppy who was munching on the blueberry tart. :-( Now I am worried about my little thief and whether or not she will be sick from the sugar, blueberries, corn starch and wheat. Anyone have any insights? Should I be concerned?

She may have diarrhea or an upset stomach later, but nothing she ate is toxic to dogs, as long as the tart contained real sugar and no artificial sweeteners. (Some artificial sweeteners are extremely toxic to dogs.)  Be glad she chose the blueberries rather than the chocolate, as chocolate is toxic to dogs.

Awe. She thought you left one for her and made the right choice as the chocolate could have been much worse on her system.

Karen,

Thank you. I will be watching her closely. My young doodle who is very well behaved, has never pulled a stunt like this before. I guess the temptation was just to great. For me, the lesson is that she is still a puppy and as her adopted dad, I cannot let my guard down for a second.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Amen. I hope she's fine. :)

LOL...our old Lab Hershey once ate an ENTIRE Peach Praline Pie. I was so mad. She didn't even have the decency to save me ONE slice :) That pie reappeared and in many ways the next few days, but she was eventually fine. It was also the first time (but not the last) that she counter surfed and she was not a puppy. 

[Wynnie & Jim]

Good story. Wynnie has not shown any ill effects of her naughtiness today. But, we will see what tomorrow brings.

Laurie, this made me laugh! When my niece was in grade school she made a relief map of the world with some kind of flour/water g*** and poster paint.  It was on the counter and fairly large but her big old Lab Godiva pulled it down ate the WHOLE thing … thankfully, with no bad effects!!!

We had a Lab who knocked down the kitchen closet door the night before Easter and ate all the candy in the Easter baskets.  I was crying hysterically the next morning and sent Dave on a "candy run" at 7:00 AM while I tried to keep the kids in their rooms.  It was horrible, but the dog was just fine and the kids never lost faith in the Easter Bunny.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Good thing she didn't choose the chocolate.  I'd say Winnie is a very smart (and lucky) pup :)

[DJ & Chance]

Good advice for Karen.  Hope she is okay.  My dog will steal food if I given him the opportunity, and his reach onto the the kitchen counter for a little doodle is amazing.

[Wynnie & Jim]

Well, it is the day after the great pastry theft and Wynnie showed no ill effects of her naughtiness. Now, if I could only keep her out of my newly distributed and finely ground pine bark mulch. LOL.

The wonderful replies to this thread certainly have been fun. I love doodles. They are people loving, sweet, snugly, smart, playful and mischievous. What a delightful breed.
