Anyone can have too much of a good thing, as our poodle-cross Fizzy found out on Boxing Day.
Not satisfied with the scraps from every plate, she somehow levitated onto a table and stole half a Toblerone. Dogs and chocolate are a bad combination, so I’m grateful the consequences were nothing worse than an hour spent shampooing the stair carpet.
Pooch Perfect (BBC1), the dog grooming contest hosted by Sheridan Smith, suffered a similar fate. It crammed in so much sweetness that it ended up being a little bit sick-making.
The basic idea was to take four professional groomers and set them two challenges — prettifying a shih tzu, then giving a ‘teddy bear’ trim to a cockapoo or some other woolly poodle-cross (Toblerone not included).
