my dog just ate a tube of cocoa butter that i was using on my scar. she smells like a chocolate bar. best i can tell, the cocoa butter is not the poisonous portion of chocolate, so i am not taking her to the vet or anything like that unless of course she became very ill. however, you’ve got to assume that a 3 inch stick of solid fat is not going to do great things to maggies digestive system.
did i mention i JUST finished steam cleaning all my carpets?

Ladies and gentlemen Ed Sullivan is proud to present “The Cocoa Butter Experience.”

and jeff, when someone next asks me “are you experienced?”, i may have a whole ‘nother answer for them….
