I was just offering up an opinion on how to TRY to prevent unwanton harm to the "new pups".
Between my dad and I we've had 5 labs that have all lived into their early teens. All were "fishing dogs" through-out most of their lives. Only one got "salmon poisioning" (dad's 1st lab...she lived), and after that experience we decided to be very vigil about knowing the whereabouts of the hounds, and to TRY to control what they're exposed to.

Thinking of renaming Tye, psyco moose. He hit 26 lbs today. You can watch him grow. Alternates between coma and a whirling dervish on crack. He "helped " me rebuild my deck today. Swiped my bag of nails several times, drug off a hammer, gnawed the end of a board, and got in the oil based paint. Overall a great day.

Dave, you need to just hire a carpenter so you can play with your dog. I know a guy . .. . . .

right on! kenna is still a bit scared to "swim", but we were on the coast last weekend and she was romping in the water quite a bit. she hasn't been in the boat yet (not sure why), but she's about to. we're planning to chase a bird or two on labor day weekend maybe for the grouse opener. everything else is going good. she's at the vet tonight (got spayed today) and we miss her deeply. but, she'll be home tomorrow. we need to plan a reunion!

Tye is 54 pounds. Has swum a bit but still nervous about getting in over his head. It would be cool to have a reunuon.
Tye loses his balls in three weks. I'm glad as he is currently humping animate and inamate items freely
Last night he swallowd whole a rib steak bone. No ill effects yet.

Sounds like a good oppertunity for a Brewster fest. Uplands in the morning. Football and steelhead in the afternoon's. I'll be there anyways for the upland opener if anyone's interested.

The thought of taking 8 or 10 Labs to a river for a fishing trip kinda makes me shake my head. Can you say clusterfuc!!! Lets do it. Someone is going to show up not knowing whats going on and be pissed when they hook a fish and have a herd of labs trying to grab it.

I'm glad to see Tye is "normal". He simply can't be without something in his mouth and he prefers to chew it while leaning against my leg.
He retrieves great but is not so great about dropping it. He will for a reward. He loves his Frisbee but has not made a catch yet. He is trying and should succeed any day soon. He comes when called unless interested in another dog, a piss ant or whatever else has caught his fancy. He sits, shakes hands, walks on a loose leash and goes to his rug on command –if there is a treat involved.
He still begins his day in bed with my wife. And he still lays on her lap for a while each evening. He is smart, loving; pig headed and will eat almost anything. I guess I just said he is a lab.
BTW we are feeding him about five cups a day and he seems ravenous all the time. How much are his brothers and sister getting a day?
