good for them, and there is a garlic component in the rub. However I have never seen a
dog killed by rub or chocolate or anything like that. But I think I will start leaving the
scraps intended for the dogs un-rubbed. My sisters dog once polished off 4 easter baskets and
the accompanying foil during the space of one church service and showed no ill effects, so
I think the tests they run in those dog lags must be pretty intense. "Chocolate, when shoved
into a dog from both ends, can cause discomfort and even death if at least 100 lbs of fine
chocolate are used daily for three weeks in a row."

Oh, and I do not hate California. That part was satire. My departed father, however,
used to call them "Those California Radicals". This was back in the late 60's and early
70's. I don't remember him ever capping on hippies, though.

As for the argument Carlos put forth, this is very true, most cheap dog food is heavy
on grains and vegetable meal anyway. And most people tend to buy the cheapest or
cheap to middle-est dog food they can find. So it gets worse. I don't even own dogs,
I feed my landlady's dogs with food she buys, or as I said, right off the grill on the
weekends, which they love. She buys them IAMS, although I would not. At least not
all the time. If I was those dogs, I would revolt. You should see the ravenous behavior
they exhibit when she runs out and I buy them some carryover of Beneful from Biglots in
a small bag. The aromas, tastes and textures drive em nuts.

Are we talking about the "Swiss chocolate", so to say?
