I've got 2 socks going now

Well, I started the red/white/blue socks for my niece that are going to be a simple ribbing design and stopped after about an inch because I don't remember if she wanted the ribbing to be long enough to cuff over itself or not. It was too late to call her last night, so I started the second sock to the chevron socks I'm making for my oldest daughter. The pattern for this sock is in Sensational Knitted Socks. Off topic......after doing lots of running around today, I picked up pizza for supper and came in the door to have the kids tell me the dogs ate a box of chocolates from a full valentine box of chocolates my oldest daughter had tossed in her garbage having never ate them herself. So....I called the vet emergency line and was told that they probably would have some GI symptoms and that I should give them hydrogen peroxide (she told me how much based on their weight) since we didn't know how long ago it happened if there was still any in their stomach, they would vomit it up. Kaylee the 30# dog vomited a very small amount of white mucous, however, Buster the 75# dog vomited up chocolate wrappers and more....I won't be so descriptive here....guess he's the one who got most of the chocolate.....either way, neither of them get to have dinner tonight. The vet said to continue to observe them for GI symptoms or general "not feeling well", panting, tremors and if by morning they are their usual doggie selves then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Well, gotta get the kids started on the bedtime routine, today was their first day back at school. TTFN
