TIFU by sending my parents chocolate for Christmas

Submitted by bazilbt t3_zuo35q in tifu

I sent some bars of dark chocolate via Amazon to my parents as stocking stuffers for Christmas. They usually send me stuff every year and I thought I would return the favor. So I got them six dark chocolate bars of various types. They are about three ounces each.

Unfortunately my gifts were all mixed together with other gifts and they didn't want to open anything until Christmas. So they stuck everything under the Christmas tree.

They have two large dogs, and the dogs smelled the chocolate and sometime today decided to eat the chocolate. Thankfully we figured that the larger dog ate it, and that he only ate two of the bars because the shipments where in different packages. They induced vomiting and he seems like he will be alright. The vet says his weight and the type of chocolate doesn't put him in danger.

TLDR I sent my parents chocolate for Christmas, the dog ate it and now they have to make sure he doesn't die.

When I read the title, I immediately thought you sent your parents chocolate with weed in it or something lol. Hope the dog is alright though.

Sooooooo

I had just moved in with my coworker who had two dogs. I had my door shut but it didn’t shut all that well, and because I had just moved in, all my baking ingredients weren’t put away yet. The dog got into baking cocoa, brown sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and white sugar. She puked EVERYWHERE on the carpet from downstairs to upstairs, and had to spend the night at the vet. I felt so bad.

Uhm maybe I am anxious (ok, not “maybe”, I AM) but when I send something to my parents I’m like “on this day you’ll receive this thing and you have to put it there/you have to do this with that”. No free choice, no free will, I make it clear if it’s a gift (“do not open until -“) or if it’s something they need now or if it’s something I need and so it has to be opened and put in that room until I come to collect it
