The info is partly true mainly because all chocolate is harmful, even deadly to dogs and cats.

Don't worry about it Gaylyn, you just left off the '.asp' at the end of the website address. That can happen very easily.

I love the Preview function on posts, it's great for proofing a post.

That sure is true.
Good thing that I never thought of using cocoa mulch. Then again I do not think that it is availble around here.
Just imagine my gardening dog and a poisonous mulch. This is what Snoopy looks like when frolicking in the garden.

Never even thought of the chocolate connection with that mulch. Thanks for the heads up as I know my dogs get into the mulch from time to time.
