Do you believe this??
A small bit of scene setting for you: when you go into my yard from the porch, there is a small 10x10 area where we have the dogs' tie out--no fence yet--next to it is our shed and then the rest of our .25 acres. To the right of said dog urinal is our neighbor's fence: 3 panels because she hated her old neighbor, so her yard isn't closed in either.
So, I let the dogs outside when I got home from work today and then proceeded to bring my flower pots back outside (frost warning last night). I find Buddy chewing on something that I assume is his own poop. Nope. It is a huge hunk of chocolate with cashews in it. Around here, we have 2 companies that sell chocolate Easter eggs: Sarris and Redstone. I buy Redstone eggs and they do not make a cashew one. A Sarris cashew egg is $15 (it weighs about a 1/4 pound). There are CHUNKS of this egg all over the part of the yard where the dogs do the do. So, I fish an ENTIRE chocolate egg out of my grass.
I'm pretty livid. First of all, someone intentionally threw it into my yard. So, is there some weirdo trying to poison my dogs??
And second, who the hell throws out a $15 chocolate egg????
People are so dumb.
ETA: A picture of the egg:

Not a clue.
Tried to get some pictures up of the yard, but tinypic is PMSing.
The other thing to think about is that if it's milk chocolate isn't nearly as poisonous to dogs... it's baking and dark chocolate tha are the really legitmate problem. So if someone is trying to poison any dog with $15 worth of milk chocolate, they are seriously confused!
True, but 1/2 pound of chocolate in the tummy of a 25 pound dog isn't good, milk or not. At the very least, he'd be sick for awhile...and doggy puke=no fun at all.
