Ok...my initial reaction to this story was to laugh but the more I thought about it, it was sad.

My bf's mom owns 3 dogs...not sure of the breeds. She loves them to death and spoils them. They get regular vet visits and have a healthy diet. One day she was asking us if skin diseases are contagious because after one of her dogs got a rash problem, the other 2 developed rashes as well. She went to the vet and all he said was to put on ointment and change shampoo which she did, but nothing changed. One day, my bf was eating chocolate and his mom was like "oh, my dogs love that kind" and we were like WHAT?? Dogs CANNOT eat chocolate!! She obviously didn't know that they are lactose intolerant and cannot digest coco. She finally stopped feeding them chocolate and not the doggies are recuperating.

I'm just glad that they're fine now. No real harm done. Am I mean for laughing?
