Tea, chocolate, and theobromine

[Emily sits for toast]

M. seriously disapproves of feeding Emily anything from the table.
H., foolishly, is taken in by that fuzzy face. Ooops.

Last night, we were drowsily digesting Thai food when Emily turned the corner of the kitchen and emerged with her nose stuck in a small paper bag.

DARJEELING BLOSSOM!!! Not tea leaves!!!

Luckily, it was mostly empty and we took the bag away. But she must have eaten a bit of dried tea leaves. Starting at midnight, and on and on all through the night, Emily FRAPPED. At 1am, at 4 am, at 7 am. Crazy dizzy running around and around and around, wanting to play play play!

Then, resume Frapping in the morning. Whew! (a dozen games of fetch down, and H. already needs a nap!)

We followed the vet guidelines, gave her lots of water, and tried to calm her down.

Funny thing was, she was so excited, she'd instantly obey commands that she'd normally balk at, even without treats.
