So I was alone in my aunts house house today with the dog and I wasn't watching him. Apparently he got into a whole bag of chocolate and ate it. We found him dead on the floor and it's pretty much my fault wry
I loved that dog too, it wasn't even a year old. It was so adorable and I was responsible for it's death.
Also, my relatives are VERY religious, and I'm athiest. I just got out of the car with christian "music" being pumped into my ear. If I hear one more bit about how powerful Jesus is I'm going to shoot myself.
So I'm really having a bad day. And I'm away from home so I have nobody to talk to right now :(
Milk Chocolate isn't that bad. My vet told me a dog would have to eat lots of it before it would hurt it. And I doubt it would die in just a few hours. Dark chocolate is the bad one.
That's not depression.
lol

I bet it was that one.
You jerk.
We've all heard it, "Don't give your dog chocolate it will kill him". We'll how true is it you're probably wondering. Do I have to rush him to an emergency vet if he ate one of my M&M's?
The truth is chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities. This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline.
Toxic Levels
The good news is that it takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction. Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration.
On average,
Milk chocolate contains 44 mg of theobromine per oz.
Semisweet chocolate contains 150mg/oz.
Baker's chocolate 390mg/oz.
Using a dose of 100 mg/kg as the toxic dose it comes out roughly as:
1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate
1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate
1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate.
So, for example, 2 oz. of Baker's chocolate can cause great risk to an 15 lb. dog. Yet, 2 oz. of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems.
Sorry buddy, but that's not depression. I've fell into depression before and that's not it.
As far as religion goes, people are allowed to believe what they want. So what if their beliefs are different from yours? That's no reason to get upset. From what you've told us, it seems they haven't put you down on your beliefs at all. You're not the only atheist in the world, so don't think of yourself so separately from others. Just be yourself.
As for your dog, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm sure one day you can forgive yourself. It just takes time.

It's not just that. Alot of shit has been happening to me lately. I've been depressed before too and I pretty much am right now.
And I'm just saying that the religious crap was just adding to it because she was doing it to piss me off.

Okay, nevermind what I said there. I guess they were doing it against you.
Are you saying that you are still depressed after a duration of time or it just comes and goes?

Yes.

My aunt's dog ate chocolate and he didn't die. I just called him a faggot and smacked him so he spit out the rest of it.
Was it a small dog or something?

You could've told him to choke it out.
Unless the owners were retarded and didn't train it to do that.

He was eating chocolate; he wasn't trained.
He eats EVERYTHING and doesn't listen.
Smacking him was being nice compared to nervous system damage. baddood;
