Re: It's true what they say about chocolates! Do you think the dog actually knows or is he thinking 'something's not right my cushion isn't as comfortable as normal !' ;D
Re: It's true what they say about chocolates! Sorry, but my first reaction was "what, that they are stupid?"

Re: It's true what they say about chocolates! You prompted me to do a search for it and I found this article about some chocolate puppies born in the Australian Guide Dog breeding program http://guidedogs.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/theres-chocolate-in-kennels.html

[/quote] As someone pointed out to me the other day, how many chocolates do you see working as guide dogs or sniffers? [/quote] It's true, yes. Chocolates are stupid. It just so happens that all the stupid genes got stored up, removed from black and yellows, and magically appeared in the chocolates. No-one knows how this amazing genetic effect occurred related to to the colour of coat but, yup, you've hit the nail on the head there. Very insightful. :

Re: It's true what they say about chocolates! For anyone who hasn't read it I recommend this book: Emma and I, by Sheila Hocken. Sheila was blind and Emma was her very smart and capable chocolate Guide Dog. It's a lovely read. It was first published in 1978. http://www.amazon.com/Emma-I-Sheila-Hocken/dp/0091943361

It's lovely though, Charlie's black bothers and sisters constantly send us cards saying "thank you for sucking up all those stupid genes so we can be clever". I have to read it to him, because unlike his black brothers and sisters he can't read and write, of course. But still, nice of them...
