My Golden Retriever ate an entire box of tea bags the other week (she often experiments in alternative foodstuffs). No rainbow bridge, but she went absolutely hyper a few hours after, turning my normal morning walk into a frenzied dog chasing exercise. I’m sticking to espresso from now on...

And the 'spaniel lean'. They sit down next to you then lean across to rest their shoulder on your leg.

My dog once ate a packet of chocolate covered coffee beans! The chocolate had zero effect (minimal amount on each bean and milk chocolate of cheap brand) but the coffee beans... Lets just say that as a springer she was nuttier than ever all day, could not stop still running around, and had the shits!

I've owned 7 spaniels and no one will answer me this.

My greyhound always had a cup of tea and a biscuit after donating blood.

We had a Labrador that ate 40 teabags. My colleague made it vomit to avoid any untoward effects. The previous year the same dog had had an enterotomy to remove one of these fancy coffee pods that go in a coffee machine which had caused an SI obstruction.

I read the Express as part of my daily news round.

Every day I learn something 'shocking'.

I cannot even contemplate a spaniel on a caffeine buzz!

Never seen it as far as I know. Quick google search has it on a animal poison website at that level from a few years ago. I'd be surprised if a dog could drink the required amount to cause toxiticy....

^{Our secretary makes my dog a cup of tea first job every morning (the dog, mind, not me...). I'd hate to be the one to break the news to either of them!}

It's a poem about deceased pets.

My old dog loved a cup of tea...
