“I decided it was a good idea to drink the last of the coffee in the mug while nobody was looking. Make the shaking stop.”

No worries, it takes a lot of coffee before it becomes a problem. Its similar to chocolate, the lethal does is usually and ounce of dark chocolate per pound of dog. Not sure what it is for Caffeine but I am sure the small amount at the bottom of a cup isn’t a problem. So, while not a good habit for your dog, its nothing to panic about, for the occasional theft. Lots of info about it online.

Particularly if the coffee also happened to be diluted with cream and sugar….

I had no idea coffee was toxic. My border collie LOVED coffee grounds. I didn’t allow her to have it, and she’s since stopped, but as a puppy she use to rip the trash apart for it. Maybe if I shamed her earlier she would’ve stopped sooner.

Cutie pie needs a chew toy to play with. I would want to carry this dog around with me everywhere. Not to Starbucks though ……………maybe to the ice cream shop

When I was a kid, we gave my German Shepard cold coffee, cream and sugar all the time. She lived to 13 yrs.
