So I discovered Maggie is a big fan of trail mix last night
Got home per usual around 5pm, threw my work bag down, walked her real quick, changed and went to the gym, came back showered then went back out again to meet a friend for dinner. Upon returning from dinner, Maggie is EXTREMELY excited to see me. Now this is actually unusual bc 1. it's 9pm and her bedtime is like 7:30. and 2. she has the personality of a cat and is usually pretty indifferent to when I come home. She's not your typical dog who freaks out over every visitor. Half the time when I get home, I have to go looking for her only to find her on my bed snoozing...she'll give me this look like "s'up" and go back to sleep umm, you've been home all day, would you like to go outside some time? Did you not miss me?
Anyways, I get home from dinner and she's running all over the apartment (Maggie doesn't run...) she's wagging her tail and acting all excited. I realize maybe she wants to get her monthly quota of "play time" in; aka chase me up and down the apartment for 2 mins, usually happens once every 3-4 weeks So I start chasing her knowing this will all be over in 90 seconds. She jumps on my bed and I realize there's a single...almond....in the middle....of my comforter. Umm, ok? Walk into my living room and I find one lonely raisin...in front of the TV. I think, I eat a lot of things on my couch but raisins isn't usually one of them. Huh. Walk back into my bedroom and find a couple scraps of a plastic baggie in front of the bed.
Crap.
I race over to my work bag I threw down upon returning from work earlier. YEP. my little homemade snack bag of trail mix is gone. About a 1/3 cup of almonds, walnuts, raisins and dark chocolate chunks that I usually stash in my purse should I need an afternoon snack.
Mags is still panting and wiggling her butt behind me looking for more play time
I immediately rush her outside, and while she doesn't take her usual 20 mins to find the perfect spot, everything seems ok and she's technically acting just fine...in fact she's actually way more perkier than usual! Let me also add this is the same dog that also naps while I eat my meals, in fact the cat begs for human food more than she does I've left her in the car with takeout bags and groceries and never even a sniff! I can't believe she found that bag of trail mix! I sit down on the couch to watch a couple shows before bed and she proceeds to sit next to me and spend the next hour...and the rest of the night farting on me So far that seems to be the only result of her little snack.
I had her skip breakfast this morning and thankfully I'm leaving work early today so she won't have to wait so long for me. She seems totally fine now. I googled a bit on raisins and dark chocolate and nuts for dogs...most only worry if it's in large quantities. She ate the whole bag but it was only 1/3 cup. Plus she seemed to actually get hyper off that little snack Maybe that's not such a bad thing for the ol' gal.
