My current batch of peanut butter came from Sam's Club; it was a set of
_two_ jars, weighing one pound each.

One good batch of PB cookies will use up a pound.
Before my acid reflux decided that peanut butter was THE signal to act
up, I would eat sandwiches which would be about three-quarters of an
inch of peanut butter on bread.

Obviously you need a dog. They love peanut butter with a mad, undying

to put him outside whenever I eat it or he climbs into my lap to

Nobody "needs" a dog...if something hairy ends up moving in with me at some
point, it's going to be from the colony of feral cats now sleeping on all of my
patio chairs....
I imagine they'd like peanut butter if they tried it, but in their present state
I'm not going to get close enough to try it on them....r

Are you having any luck convincing the dog that he isn't a lap dog?

He's actually not at all fond of even being a couch dog or a bed dog,
so keeping him off my lap is pretty much a non-issue. It's just when
I'm sitting on the couch and eating something he really, really wants
that he climbs. I just crate him in advance and avoid the entire
problem. He goes to sleep with his chin on his orangutan.

Likewise our Jack Russell. He won't come on command when distracted by
an enemy squirrel unless one shouts "Peanut butter!" which brings him
instantly.
It's great for giving him pills, too. OTOH, our late, lamented Husky
would eat the peanut butter and spit out the pill.

I'm screaming at a white sheepdog.
Each time he sits upon my chair.
It's a thing I'm dreading,
The way he's shedding,
And coats everything with his hair.
I'm screaming at a white sheepdog,
And may he visit you some night.
May his bark be worse that his bite
And may all your furniture be white.

I hope it isn't one of those foods that, like chocolate, they enjoy
but is liable to be lethal to them!
...Same goes for us!
In fact (this isn't going to be a dog story) I found - provisionally -
that suddenly regular peanut butter seems to make me short of breath;
which seems odd - if there was going to be a problem then I'd expect
it to be more severe. So I've been using an alternative (Asda Extra
Special, I athink) that has some peanut and mostly cashew, which is
fine but very expensive.

So far he hasn't managed to actually climb into my lap and get any
food. He's not a great climber and I'm managed to out-maneuver him.
However, I have to admit that I've given my dogs chocolate over the
years and never had a problem. These were all male collies and the
amount was small and usually milk chocolate. Sensitivity to caffeine
and chocolate varies widely between dogs, too, so it's not just amount
to body weight that matters.
The current dog is, in addition to the only one who has ever been fond
of prolonged fetching, the only one to like Diet Coke. It's usually
the caffeine-free variety, but he also likes the regular kind. None
of my other collies have cared for the bubbles, which produced a lot
of snorting and sneezing.

If you have a food processor or a meat grinder, you can make your own
nut butters. This tends to be less expensive than buying them,
although still more expensive than peanut butter (peanuts are cheap).
I believe that only peanuts and cashews have enough oil to make butter
without adding any, but it doesn't take a lot. I've made cashew
butter and almond butter. It's easy and comes out really good.

At the risk of being seen as an old fuddy duddy, I seemed to recall an
extensive discussion about chocolate and dogs on AFU in the past.
So I googled and found from 1994: http://tafkac.org/animals/chocolate_and_dogs.html
In brief, there is a specific ingredient in chocolate, theobromine,
which may cause issues in dogs, in dogs already prone to siezures or
heart problems it may be an issue.
The telling math, which is what I remember as being the pertinent
thing is this; under 200mg of theobromine/kg body weight no deaths
have been observed. Milk chocolate has 44-66 mg of theobromine per oz.
So a 40 kg dog (Lab like Mary's or mine) would have to eat 121 oz of
milk chocolate to be close to death. Now dark/bitter chocolate is much
higher, and may have as much as ten times the amount of theobromine
per oz, so its a much greater risk. So don't leave big one pound slabs
of dark chocolate where your dog can eat them. Owners of smaller dogs,
may want to be more careful.
