Dd (11) was given a large chocolate Santa
at the weekend as a congratulations gift for taking part in a production at our local theatre.
She gets home, leaves it on the sofa, we all go out for a few hours, and the dog eats it!! Chocolate is extremely toxic to dogs, she is ok, but things could have been different if it had been dark chocolate, or if there was more of it.
Fast forward to today - I rang DH earlier from the supermarket- DH asks me to buy Dd a replacement Santa. I didn't, and told DH that I won't be replacing something Dd couldn't be arsed to take care of. DH thinks I'm being harsh - he says he can separate the fact that the dog was almost poisoned from the fact that Dd has made a significant achievement in participating in the theatre production and deserves to have her reward for it.
I think that Dd should take accountability for leaving chocolate (which she knows is potentially poisonous to dogs) at her arse. Also, she needs to take responsibility for her belongings - if she was that interested in santa, she'd have put him somewhere safe? AIBU to refuse to replace choccy Santa?
