I signed up online for the Clif pace team at the Twin Cities marathon. When I showed up at their booth at the expo I could not determine what the purpose was signing up online as the rep said “find the time you want and run with that person”.
Now 3 weeks after the race I receive a small package from Clif containing a package of Clif Bloks and a mini Clif Bar.
I lay it on the counter and go out for a short run.
When I come back I find the packaging scattered and shredded throughout the dining room.
My Aussie clearly had a snack as my Border Collie is not quite that adventrous.
2 paws up for Lemon-Lime Clif Bloks and Chocolate Chip Clif Bars.

Watch the chocolate… it’s poisonous for dogs
My pups do not discriminate when it comes to gels, gus, blocks, and bars. They’ll eat all of them! I’ve learned to keep everything out of their paws reach. which is way on the back of the counter or in the cabinet.
I am 99% positive it is milk chocolate which contains no cacao, which is what makes dog sick.
Only high end chocolates or specifically called dark chocolates are bad for dogs.
Milk chocolate does contain cocoa, just less of it. White chocolate doesn’t.
My two year old Boxer, Mabel, seems to really enjoy GU Roctaine orange vanilla, and just about any of the Power Gel line. Of course she licks her own crotch and sniffs other animals behinds, so I don’t know if her eating something is any kind of positive endorsement…
I would like to know when the seasonal cliff bar flavors will be out, because I really LOVE the pear apple cobbler ones. Haven’t seen them around here yet.

** My dog must have been the exception. Before my wife and I got married she and her bridesmaids were making up the favors for the wedding. There was a bag of 90 Hershey’s Kisses in the kitchen that our dog got into, she ate all 90 Kisses (foil included) and other than having a lot of shiny poop for a couple of days she suffered no ill effects.
Before my morning run I take one with my coffee, my black lab loves to sniff the table when I go get the car keys or when I take the morning du… pit stop! … funny he takes the chocolate chip kind but never touches the carrot cake flavor… he hates gels and loves powerbars. The golden ret. is just to smart for that shit, he knows that if he sits and hold it for a few sec. he will get a winnie… the dumb Lab wants all!
My Brittany got into my pantry once. Ate a whole box of oatmeal raisin cookies, a bunch of fig newtons, and a couple of hammer gels. Approx 4000 calories total. Good and fueled up our long run the next day. He was on 1/2 rations for 3 days though.

I imagine there’s a lesson there about the chocolate quality of Hersheys kisses
