A Mystery and a Concern

Duke woke up up at his usual time (before I wanted to) for his walk and was all excited as usual. He wanted to play and soon was running in and out getting lots of exercise and took a poop on the bricks. No problem because he has not had an accident but unusual because he usually saves it for yappy hour. Since he was outside it wasn't too difficult to corral him to the spigot for his bath. That did not go well. Inside I noticed him playing with some paper which turned out to be the EMPTY bag of Hershey's Dark chocolate nuggets with almonds. The mystery is where the candy went. I can't imagine he would eat it wrapped. NO, I did not consume it and have forgotten. My concern is he should not eat chocolate. I'm wondering if that was the reason for the early morning poop which I did not examine for telltale foil. He seems fine, maybe a little more rambunctious than usual. (caffeine?) I think we are headed to Starbuck's where he gets lots of attention but no coffee.
