My wonderful dog ate my sister-in-law's fruit cake. (There is a Santa Claus)

He whined a bit last night but he is fine this morning.

call a vet anyway:

raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs.

and some fruitcakes have cocoa powder in them. and lordy...who knows what else.

I agree and that was interesting,and courious is right,my mother would
never let me eat fruitcake when I was small..I wonder if this would
affect cats??? Sue

Once, a long long time ago, when I was a kid, I wondered what the heck fruitcake was.

My grandmother had one sitting in a dish. I asked someone "what is this?", and they said "oh you've never heard of fruitcake, it's LOADED with nice stuff, fruit, raisins, and loads of other things".

I picked up the platter and nearly broke my arm. I said 'how much does this thing weigh??" Everybody laughed.

I took a taste. I hated it.

Never did it again. Never lifted one either. lol

I am not fond of fruitcake....the dog was fine, but he eats so much stuff he should not eat, he has a cast iron stomach...He weighs over 90 lbs and it was not a huge fruitcake. Perhaps he will learn not to counter surf. All the nuts and green thingies came out the other end just fine. I often wonder what those green see thru thingies are....

Well, it is better the dog ate it than my husband....he is on a 'diet'. He has been on a diet for the three and a half decades we have been married. He is a wonderful man, but he is still mad at my dog.
