Careful giving your furry friends chocolate => http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/digestive/c_multi_chocolate_toxicity ; http://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/digestive/c_ct_chocolate_toxicity
I am well aware of the dangers that chocolate presents *some* critters. At no time in my little blurb did I say I was going to give them any, they were watching me.
That said, when Zippy was 3 months old and a whopping 8 pounds, he managed to eat a full-sized (1 pound or so) Costco chocolate-chocolate chip cupcake.
No ill effects. Except the little booger ate my snack!
