Came home from work to an empty fridge. Somebody had eaten :

2 x packets of ham
1 packet of chorizo sausage
1 sausage roll
1 Weightwatchers yogurt
1 250g block of cheese
1 tub of flora
1 tub of spreadable butter

But the worst thing was a 100g Green & Black block of plain chocolate.

Rang the vets & she said bring them both in & they would make them sick. Got there & she gave them an injection, after a couple of minutes they both vomited & there was loads. Buster had eaten the most but must teach him to chew his food as there was big chunks of ham. She thought Ollie could have been the one who had eaten the chocolate by the colour of the vomit but after a while when neither of there heart rates would go down she decided to keep them in overnight & put them on a drip.

Got home & the house is so quiet without them & will not sleep tonight as I will be worried about them.
Got to ring later & will then ring in the morning & hopefully they will be okay to come home. They will get a stern telling off & hopefully they will have learnt there lesson but I doubt it.

Oh my goodness what a naughty pair and what a dreadful shock for you.  Fingers crossed they have a comfortable night and are back home with you again very soon.

My dog,  Hope they are both OK.

And back home with you soon.  You are going to have to get a lock for that fridge. How did they open it ? :o

Rang the vets and both heart rates are back to normal, but still have to stay in overnight to keep an eye on them.
Thanks for all your kind thoughts.

Oh no... the little monkeys!!!! Hope they are both ok tomorrow - sounds like you got them to the vets in good time.  Sure it won't stop you having a really bad night without them tho.  Big glass of wine I think is needed!!!

What a relief that their heart rates have gone down now, hope they're back with you tomorrow. We used to have a dog that could open the fridge door, we had to wedge the kitchen bench against the fridge whenever we went out without her   >:(
