And while “responsibility” in school might be a little boring (or not), you can make it part of the fun this summer at home. Summer fun can be the setting for all sorts of lessons your child can carry confidently into second grade, and getting there is easy: Grab a few ideas, adapt them to your family and your child’s specific needs, and tap into the same creative streak that gets your kid to eat the broccoli. For more information on second grade, school curriculum and age-based summer fun, check out the links on the next page. Check if you can still see the packaging or recipe of the chocolate. The recipe calls for 12 minutes in the oven, but we should check them halfway through — how long should we wait? 11) Visually check your dogs stood for tiny white worms or parasites. Can Pet Dogs Eat White Delicious Chocolate? White chocolate rarely causes true chocolate poisoning because it contains very low amounts of methylxanthines; however the high fat content may result in pancreatitis (see Candy Overindulgence below). What Are the Signs of Chocolate Poisoning?
When a dog is exposed to Xylitol, it damages the dog’s liver, and clinical signs of “intoxication” (poisoning) can develop in as little as 30 minutes to an hour. The symptoms a dog presents depend on the severity of the poisoning. That said, dogs often start showing serious symptoms (including things like cardiac problems and seizures) when they ingest approximately 40 to 60 milligrams of theobromine per kilogram of body weight. The type of chocolate the dog eats is a significant factor since not all types of chocolate contain the same levels of theobromine. While chocolate is toxic to dogs, the level of toxicity depends on the type of chocolate, how much they ate and how big the dog is. You will be asked how much your dog weighs, what type of chocolate, and how much you think your dog consumed. And while those tasks may not be much fun, going to the dollar store on Saturday so your child can buy whatever he or she wants with his or her own week’s earnings (or rather half of them, with the rest set aside for a rainy day) will be a joy. Don’t get much daily foot traffic where you live?
I strongly recommend that if your dog has eaten any chocolate at all, that you get him to your own veterinarian or a 24 hour emergency pet hospital right away rather than ‘guess’ whether or not he’s going to be okay. And to get you ready, here’s a sentence only containing double letters: “All successful quizzes need accomplished, exceptionally affirmative intellectuals.” We have no doubt that you are, in fact, a successful, exceptionally affirmative intellectual, and you’ll be doing twice the celebrating when you’re done. Dogs have a difficult time breaking down or metabolizing theobromine, also known as xantheose. To be sure, there are still plenty of TV dinner aficionados who’ll hungrily scarf down a Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and chocolate brownie, and then dump those green beans into the trash. The component of cocoa beans that is toxic for dogs is something known as theobromine, a methylxanthine closely related to caffeine. Chocolate contains a class of chemicals known as methylxanthines (specifically caffeine and theobromine). The cream filling or nuts may add to your pup’s stomach upset, but not to the toxicity caused by the theobromine. From small, commonplace words like “add” and “all” to huge, asthma-inducing monsters such as “lipopolysaccharide” and “immunofluorescence,” these pesky double letters are alive and well, found in even the most unsuspecting syllables.
You may even find yourself with a true saver on your hands who’d rather hit the toy store once a month! Even the adjective “dispassionate” doesn’t mean “not passionate,” it relates to not being easily influenced by emotions. An appropriate adjective to describe a lack of passion would be “indifferent” or something associated with disinterest and detachment. Usually, adverbs starting in “im” denote a lack of something, but “impassioned” actually indicates the opposite. A rudder allows you to steer a boat, hence why “rudderless” denotes a lack of direction. All these words sound out of place, but “categorically” is another way of saying “explicitly” or “unambiguously,” and “surreptitiously” denotes secretiveness. When something’s amiss, or not quite right and out of place, you might feel leery. Regardless of how much chocolate hurts a dog you feel about them, it’s always a good idea to bolster your vocabulary, and this quiz is full of definitions aching for a word or words aching for a definition. What’s the definition of “impassioned”? We took a family trip to Manitou Springs, where we stayed in a tiny home.
