So whats the pup damage so far.
Radar dined on the interior of my truck tonight while I had dinner with Doc. Got the leather off of half my steering wheel, almost chewed through my seat belt, gnawed on my shift handle then moved to my sun visor for desert. Anyone need any used lab parts?

GAWD I wanted to kill him. should of named him shredder. He is also fond of power cords

Dang Art that sucks, Radar sounds like the average lab. You can look forward to another 6 months of chewing if he is anything like his dad.

WHen I saw your title, and poster name, I cringed. I knew it would be lab related.

Mine is sleeping peacefully next to the woodstove at the moment, yet memories of dropping a paycheck into his emergency rock removal surgery only a year ago, is still fresh in my mind. So to is the wireless modem, most of the fuchsias in my landscaping, any garden or hand tool handle, ANYTHING plastic... damn dog hates plastic....

He's a lab... the list gets fresh entries daily.

Hell, just yesterday, the fiance's cat puked in her room... "MOOSE!" she yelled, and he happily ate it... sick

radar's sister is very fond of socks and shoes. chewed up a shoe or 2 of my wife's, gnawed a hole in a blanket, munched a dry-erase marker this morning. major damage has been minimal, though she did try and eat my seatbelts, too. she now rides in the bed of the truck after smearing her stinky, mud caked ass all over the seat 2 weeks ago. if you leave the bedroom door open, she knows it and will not stop until she finds a sock. luckily, when she does find something she shouldn't have, she runs into the living room with it. Lindsey shouts "Bandito!!" then kenna jumps on the chair and gives it up. if she stops doing that, we're doomed.......

Bear has chewed my hats, socks, shoes, cell phone, digital camera, clothes, rod cork, and reel handles.... Just to name a few..


Though, these days it's pretty much just the toes in my socks.... I'll take that over the other stuff any day...

You guys have all owned labs.....just normal chit. It will stop. What up with the socks.....Chase demolished out sock population when he was a puppy as well as the remote, christmas tree, xt lights, wallet etc.

Happily it all ended when he got done teething ( nine mos?).

Now an awesome non chewing dog.

Well, unfortunately, I have you all topped. Nothing like coming back from a vacation to put a damper on one's life. I just found out about this 30 minutes ago.

Left for a week of warmth and arranged multiple people to watch Boris for me. The person that was supposed to have first shift backed out at the last minute due to fear of not being able to get to/from my house. A co-worker with dogs offered to watch him instead.

Apparently, Boris had 2 unattended hours at their house the first evening. He first cleared everything off their kitchen counter and ate apples, whole garlic, and opened their breadbox and ate all their bread. Then proceeded to crap ALL over their house.

From there, he moved on and destroyed 2 cordless telephones and pulled out 2 phonebooks and shredded them to nothing. After that, he moved on to every wicker basket in their house and turned all the wicker into 1 inch pieces. Fortunately, they had no wicker furnature.

When they arrived home to find the destruction, Boris bolted towards the remaining wicker for further destruction. The husband grabbed Boris by the collar to stop him but apparently Boris has gotten big and strong because he straight-up broke the man's hand. X-Rays, missed work, no driving, etc. Later, when they let him outside, he came back to the door, jumped on the screen and tore it right out. I'd imagine with all the damage he caused there, it is likely they forgot to mention the small stuff.

Besides all that, he has ripped out the center brake light in the back of my SUV, chewed off the wires that run the rear defroster, and has taken out 1/2 the fabric on the back of my SUV rear seats.

Let's not talk about fishing rods.

Currently feeling shell-shocked.

Father-in-Law stuck his lab in the camper and hit the road. 6hrs later opened the camper door to find every cushion and the bed totally shreaded. Good thing he had a GOOD sense of humor!

Tye has been a saint - at least compared to Boris. Tye has destroyed a pair of slippers, multiple socks, a hat (He especially likes hats) a softball and a few dog toys. It helps that we are almost always here with him and if not he gets locked out in the yard.

It's easy to tell when he has something he shouldn't as he runs like the wind with his tail wagging a million miles an hour. He tries to run away with his treasures but will sit, if commanded to loudly and then I can get it away from him. Recently I have been whacking him with the flats shoes he loves to steal. It doesn’t seem to have any effect. But he does run to my wife for love when I punish him.

Sorry about Boris. But he's a great dog and one day will settle down. I think you may want to look into a shock collar.

We've. Created. Monsters.

Im scared, oh and ya i got a kitten at my moms house and he's not effected by spray bottels. He ignors the water( i think he likes it.), I cant imagine a dog.... I have'nt really been around with radar's crimes- only seen them.

Sorry about the damage, mickey was a spaz but calmed down now that shes older. cute puppy faces and innocent eyes dont last.

-Allie

p.s.- cute pic of kenna-I laughed when seeing the picture.... but i laughed harder at the crimes though it sucks.

Aaron I hope you have not lost a friend.


Nothing is safe at counter top level or lower. Hats, socks, plates, a deer leg, Mickey's collar while she was wearing it, bags of chips, sandwiches, a frozen wild turkey breast, cordless phone chargers, 3 cpap masks, (one of them I was out of the room less than a minute) both guest chares in my office are destroyed and on the way to the dump, he even wacked a heavy duty power cord on an air conditioner into several chunks. Anything paper can and will be shredded and spread over a large area. Seems like the little bastard will just lay around innocent as can be until ya leave him alone for a second.


My brothers lab (one of two pups that were abandoned on the side of the road)once watched a cable guy work a cable under some carpet. That night he and his wife made a quick run to the store when they retuned the dog had pulled the carpet up at the very spot the guy had worked.He then tore it out all the way across the living room and all the way down the intire hall way of the house. When they first saw it they were sure someone broke in the house and were looking for something hidden under the floor.

There is no such thing as a good deal on a lab.

That's funny, Art, I was thinking the same thing earlier today. rofl

The crazy thing is that, with the exception of his 2 hour rampage at my co-worker's house, he has been really good. My girlfriend and I were actually shocked to hear the story. I'd been leaving him unattended at my house for 1/2 my work day at 5 months with no issues other than one day when he took 3 placemats and and already broken float rod off my dining room table and chewed them up. I have to think it was a combo a completely new environment, puppyhood, and separation anxiety. He really does like having people around.

I also got some comments that he doesn't "play well" with dogs which I found strange because he's hung out with TONS of dogs, both on and off leash without any issues. The roughest I've seen him play was with Seastrike's dog, Chase. And besides being a little overzealous considering it was inside, they were fine. I'm thinking he's hit that point where he doesn't understand how big and stong he's become.

The people that had all the problems with him have a very positive outlook on life and didn't seem to hold it against me or the dog (which is probably more than I'd be able to say about myself) so, overall, things are fine. This whole thing will blow over but I'd be damn leary about ever asking them to dogsit again. I've already contemplated tying him to their front door, ringing the doorbell, and then running away just to see their reaction. rofl

Naturally, since I've had him back, he's been absolutely perfect...

Those'd be some dead, dead, doggies.

Two months ago we got a new puppy from the Oregon Humane Society. Some Pit-mix mutt. They said he was 4 months old. First night we got him home we found out he was already crate trained. No crying no whining. Thank god. That whining sucks sooooo much.

We took him to the vet and he said he was prolly only 2 or 3 months old judging by his teeth.

So far the little guy has also house broken himself by watching our other dog, Mrs Fatandlazy. I swear he's so intelligent

Last week he somehow got ahold of my wife's $200 panama handwoven sunhat and made it look like some [censored] from a Huck Finn school play. That and the expensive fur slippers I bought her in Canada.

He apparently hates souvenirs.

One thing that has worked well for me in training hard headed labs is to punish them with what ever they destroyed( Im not advocating animal abuse but the dog needs to understand who is the boss), and then tie it to there collar for 3 or 4 days. I had a lab that didn't understand how strong he was and liked to play with the cats, Thinned the cats population but was not veiwed lightly by the family. Another time was with the chickens. Once we tied them to him after he killed them, we would leave him in his kennel for a day or two. He would never look at them again, in fact he would leave the area if he saw them. As for house hold items this method works equally as well with a little persistance.

Wow some real horror stories here.

Luckely spanials aren't nearly the distructive chewers that labs are.

The worst I had to go thru and am still living with today is when Sage chewed off the knob on my steering column with the window cleaner. I was at the local Cafe when the waitress says to me, "what the hell is your dog doing." I look out the window and see Sages little muzzle working hard on that knob. "About to get her ass kicked" was my answer. Now when it gets real cold like last week and all that state applied road grime freezes to my windsheald I have to lean out the drivers window with a water bottle and apply my own window cleaner.

I'm all for any tough love that "hardwires" out said bad behavior!

I once had a Siberian Husky that just loved to run and run and run. One time I was playing a baseball game about 20 miles from home and see him waiting for a red light at a busy downtown Kirkland stoplight with the other pedestrians. Got home and there he was waiting for dinner. So my folks and I got tired of picking him up at the pound so we had to figure out a way to keep him in the back yard. He was a big digger and would dig his way out.

A co-worker who trained guard dogs suggested that however he gets out of the backyard is how you get him back in the backyard. Basically if he jumped the fence throw him over the fence. If he dug under the fence shove him back thru the hole he dug. Great idea in principle but a wee bit tougher to apply. So he escapes again and after his rounds he returns home and I grab him by the collar and start to drag him to the backyard. All was cool until he saw his hole and figured out what I was going to do. Took about a 1/2 hour and we where both a bloody mess and extremely pissed off at each other but I finally got him thru that tiny little hole and he never dug his way out again!

Wiring to my lawnmower,trailer,O2 sensor wires underneath truck,seatbelt,A pair of glasses,countless sock's,and of course anything that even smells like food.

A Tabasco sauce setup has worked in the past for food on the counter's

But not for my chocolate he is impervious to pain,beating's etc.
The shock collar will stop him in his track's but he will just turn around and do the same thing over again.

Would not even consider leaving him to roam the house.

He is just dang hard headed .

Crates are a good thing.

OMFG! LuLu has been good all things considered. Couple pairs of flip flops, lots of phone books in the pickup (harmless 2 me). She plays with kids and other dogs well. I watched the bosses dog for the last 10 days and they played wonderfully (they both go to the office everyday though). I picked up my deer burger from the butcher yesterday, and the bosses dog ate a frozen 1.5# bag of burger. His farts were awful!!!!

We have 2 labs (no relations to none of the mentioned above), the male is 10 and the female is 4. They are the 2 best dogs I have ever owned or been around (I maybe slightly biased) but those 2 love socks. You can't accidently drop one and bend over to pick it up before they suck them up. They both have had 2 surgeries a piece for obstructions (yeap socks) at a cost of about 1000 a piece. No worries though I grounded my wife for not keeping the laundry picked up.

Way to be the Man.

I had to kick mine to the curb for not cleaning up after me well enough. She would always make up some excuse like I was at work all day too blagh blagh blagh. Then when I would get drunk, go to bed around 1 or 2 and give her a chance to make it up to me she wouldn't even be greatful for the opertunity. What a b!tch. I sure showed her...

I think thats how it went

I am sitting here laughing about these stories. I cannot beat the Boris story, Mack has had the same issues as the rest of his brothers and sisters. A few hoses, a couple magnolia trees, a piece of siding on the house, has dug multiple holes to China and no kid toy survives around here.

Mack is away on vacation for a few more weeks or we are on vacation from Mack for a few more weeks.... I took him to a trainer in the middle of November and he will come back home in mid-December. They have been working with him on birds and also on some obedience. I went and visited him 2 days ago and i could not believe the gentleman he has turned into. I am sure he will get home and continue on some of his old habits, but I have to say i have hope that he is going to come out of the clink with a new perspective on life!!

Here is a picture of Mack before he went on Vacation. He is at about 80 # now. That was one thing the training place said to me, "he likes to eat"

Snit. That's what you get for giving Lulu her own allowance.(;-)
Mack and Tye look like brothers - doh!

I weighed Tye yesterday. He's "only" 78 lbs.

I did the dog thing when I was married.....no more!

Cat's for me from the day I became single again.

My latest mate, Smokey just got his nuts cut off and I expected some big time retaliation in the chewing and clawing dept. None! just wanted to play with his fleet of toy mice. Works for me!

He is out of it , just back from vet in that picture.

He will be fine as long as nothing gets infected.

Stitches come out in another week and he should be fetching duck's again.

I heard the fight and it was blood curdling I could not identify the other animal(s)

What's the fine/penalty for killing a raccoon in your county?

I'm pretty sure if I had to pay those vet bills, there would be one LESS raccoon in my neighborhood.

Good he was able to defend himself and come home, a smaller dog might not have been so lucky.

I'm sure he will be all healed up in no time.

Seriously would think about having someone back there ASAP with a predator call and a Shotgun with some 00 buck or even a bow if there are houses around. If it was coyotes after a dog that size they need to be delt with. If it was a racoon he probably just got to close. Hope he learned a lesson but if he is anything like my bone headed brown one he will hit the next one just a little harder.

Hard to see him like that. If it was one of mine I would be bumbing hard. Best wishes.

Thank's for the concern
I was pretty worried when I first got him home but after getting him cleaned up I knew he would be ok. He is pretty torn up though 4 gashes/punctures through the skin with muscle visible, both ears scratched up one with one missing a small chunk, and numerous other nasty cuts and abrasions.
The fight woke my neighbor up at 4:30 am his words "It sounded like somethin was f----n dying" I have been out hunting but no luck.

I can only hope whatever it was took at least as much of whoopin
pretty sure Bristol was fightin for his life.

Not sure abought wild animals but without antibiotics cuts like that on a domestic animal would become infected and probably cause a slow painfull demise.

He is a total pain in the butt now (day 8) confined to house,wearing the cone,full of energy and cannot get wet or dirty .

Man that is sad, I'm glad he made it through that . Layla, my 8 month old lab/chesapeake has had a few close calls and bad experiences but she's doing great. She jumped out of my jeep goin 25 mph at about 10 weeks, lost a little fur on the back of her leg but was thankfully fine. Been brutally attacked by a mini weiner dog ( small man syndrome). Swept into the river at a young age ( Had to jump in after her and temporarily lost my rod). I thought that would make her affraid of the water but I still can't seem to keep her out of it. The worst was about a week ago when I noticed a piece of fishing line coming from her mouth. First thing I thought was SH!T there is likely a hook on the end of it. Luckily there wasn't and we slowly pulled 3 1/2 feet of mono from her throat. She's my first dog, and I couldnt've asked for a better one. Only chews certain things. Doesn't bark except when commanded to speak or if someone approaches the front door. Loves to swim, smart as a whip, and a real looker at that ( at least I think so) . I'm not a bird hunter, but she really makes me wanna take up the sport. You could say I'm a proud father.

Super looking pup. I too have pulled about a yard of mono fromy pup - no apparent damage. Te will swim, but isn't crazy about it. Today he swam about 50 yards for a stick then on the next thr looked at me as if to say ""You go get it."

If anyone has a dog that loves to swim and wants some company on the water, I would love to have Tye play with a dog that loves the water. I think that's all he would need to become an eager swimmer.

Good he was able to defend himself and come home, a smaller dog might not have been so lucky.

I'm sure he will be all healed up in no time.

Alway's amazed at how fast these guy's heal he would not put ANY weight on his front leg for two day's

Day 9 all the wound's are scabbed and peeling,ditch the cone and the shaved spots and you would not know anything was wrong.

Bristol's day's lounging in the house are numbered.
Stitches could probably come out tomorrow.

Maybe Tye has some Newfie in his heritage. Friend who had one said the dog would fetch anything once. Second time, the dog figured you had, you threw it away, it's your problem.

It wasn't a raccoon, I guarantee it. I've hunted hounds on raccoons for years and killed them up to 40 pounds. Several of those larger coons, after shot would come out of the tree alive and a 70lb hound would handle them with ease. Granted he'd always get bit on the nose and face. Remember a dog's instincts is to go for the neck, it's bred in them and 1 on 1 fights will be face wounds. You're dog was attacked by a pack of coyotes in my opinion. Pack meaning 2-4 dogs. They'll lure your dog out and then play that wolf game with them. Seen it many times with friends that live further out except most of their dogs were Rotts and Chessy's.

I'll guarantee you a lab has all the instincts in the world to kill when cornered. I've watched my chocolate lab kick the [censored] out of 2 dogs a couple years ago. One of situations where you think you're going to have to shoot the others and you're dog pulls through with a few small rips and tears...

Time is your worst enemy, he's a tough dog and hopefully he's learned a lesson..

Gotta love a well trained lab, man's best friend! thumbs

If anybody needs to increase their dogs self esteem then I could bring Sage. She loves to swim but is lousy at it. A lab can typically do several retrieves in the time it takes her to do one.

Or she can annoy Todd in the drifter to the point where he throws a stick into the middle of the river where she will swim, swim, swim, losing ground the whole time, until she gets dumped into the Pacific smile

That's yet to poop her out though smile

An Energizer bunny, that's what Sage is...no matter how much she runs or swims, it doesn't slow her down from jumping on my lap, eating my lunch, attacking my fishing lures (especially pink worms), barking at squirrels, whining at clouds...and my favorite, trying to sit on my lap and lick my face while I'm rowing smile

She's lucky she's so damn cute and sweet, or I'd have fed her to the bears years ago smile

Fish on...

Might be Daves. Thats about when we left....sorry to have missed you.
Tye liked the frozen mallard I brought a lot.
I sent it home with Dave for future training missions. So glad to be beyond the puppy stage!
Tye was rambuctious but nothing beyond most lab pups. He acts just like Borris (AP's dog) in terms of play.
Tye is funny. He has no fear of the water just doesn't mind if some other dog does the retreiving when it's over his head. My memory says that Chase didn't become a serious water fetcher until he was around a year old.

Somewhat off the Lab topic but as far as Damn Dogs go...was at Mukilteo Post office today walking out and a guy passes me walking a little mini collie just minding his own business. A lady w a pickup is straining to get 5000 packages out of her truck to mail and her giant german shepard took about a 10 foot leap outta truck n took a beeline to the runt dog and proceeds to maul him as the owner is beating, kicking and eventually wrestling this dog in the bushes...lady dumped all her packages in the dirt/mud/water n got her dog away. Probably only lasted 10 seconds total but seemed much longer.

Lil dog seemed fine although he looked a bit frazzled, owner was freaked out and German got beat all the way to and back into the pickup...

Really sorry we missed you. I would have been great to have Tye and his sibling get together. As Dave said Tye was absolutly wild about that duck. I didn't think he was at all birdy but the duck was like heroin to an addicted. It DID NOT improve his obedience but sure made him a swimmer. Let's try to get together again.

Here is a photo of Tye and his Christmas present about one hour after he got it.

Dave, put the collar on quite awhile b4 you set him up. You don't want him to assosciate the collar with getting in trouble right away. .. he will figure it out soon enough.
Good luck !

Two labs grace our house. The oldest is now almost six. He grew up and became a good dog seemingly on the day he turned three. Up to that point he thought 'Gawd' was his middle name. The younger lab, a girl, is almost three. Hope she goes through the same transformation as the older one did. Of all the labs I've owned, most seem to calm noticeably about age three with only occasional fits of insanity afterwards. Labs simply wouldn't exist if they weren't such lovable beasts. Every time they eat something I just remind myself it'll be funny some day.

Wow... Some GREAT stories. Aaron's wins top prize. DANG sorry to hear that one!!!!

My "pup" Harley is a little over a year old now. If it's not nailed down, he has to chew on it. Immediately after he's let out of his kennel, he grabs the nearest thing to chew on it. Fortunately, I've only "donated" a broom, paint bucket, noumerous plastic objects and the occasional piece of wood.
He got ahold of a dish rag from somewhere and it didn't agree with his innards. Fortunetely, he got it out of one end so a $$$$ visit to the vet was avoided.
My old shorthair had different tastes. He took a liking to the now ex-wife's panties laugh

Here's Harley with his training dummy. Oh yeah..... he chewed it into little pieces

Awesome stories btw. I am feeling extremely lucky to have the dogs I do.

Cedar's been really kind to everything in our house, except the cherry floor. Oh well. It only takes a two days to install 1,000 SF of wood floor, and $4-5,000.

I tell the wife that the scratches give the house a "lived in" look. We'll have to test that "Bella Wood" 50 year finish guarantee in a year or so.

This thread should be in the "best of Posts". I have read some funny stuff on here but this one takes the cake.

Was sorry to hear of Browndog's bad day but sounds like he is making a fast recovery. I know I would be out there hunting something.

And I thought I had it bad when my last dog Mac, would dig out of the backyard once in awhile.

I am new to duck hunting and was just beginning to entertain the thought of getting a lab, Thanks for the heads up before I did that!

Do it. Tye is the best thing that has happened in our family in years - and the worst. Yeah, he's a real pain in the arse, but he has caused more smiles and laughs than I can count. That's well worth a few hats, socks, important documents, pieces of furniture, toys, purses, filched food, cell phones, cameras, - hey maybe it's not such a good idea.

This is why, after all those torn up socks, mangled shoes, disapearing countertop food, knocked over garbage cans, half eaten pizzas, and vet bills, we still look forward having them greet us when we get home, or wake us up with their big wet tounge....

Appreciate the words of encouragement on getting a new pup, but I may have to keep these posts to show the wife when things go south. Besides she could use a few less pairs of shoes!

And remember it does end ( the chewing).
I've had four dogs. All of em were demons as puppies. All became excellent teenagers.
Besides exercise I think everybody needs to do some training. You get to choose if they are allowed on furniture or not.
You get to choose if they jump up on people or not.
The steeling food one is tough. I've had a couple that would steel if they were given the opp. Other two won't/didn't do it.
I had one lab that was a fighter. That amazed me....but it was a rescue dog and I'm thinking her experiences led to this.
The jumping on people thing is cured by having buddies come over and give the dog a knee to the chest if it jumps up as they come in the front door. It doesn't hurt the dog and they learn pretty quick.

I feed my damn dog's plain white rice and maybe some plain chicken meat if there not eating or feeling well, it's usually from nappy pond water though. Probably not much help in your case.

Hope he just passes whatever it is he ate.

If you guys need a bird for training next spring, I may have a few spare quail roosters. It seems that by the luck of the draw I have 3 hens and 8 roosters left. I'll probably cull down to 3 roosters. Wish it was the opposite, but that is the luck of the draw. I'll hatch as many as I can in the incubator, but I may also hatch a few chicks for capons and use those as brooders. We'll see.

I'm at 2 rooster pheasants and 5 hens, so I'm good on broodstock, but I may have some spare chicks if you are interested in raising your own training birds, or I may have a few spare full grown birds next fall.

My hope is to raise 100-200 pheasants.

Anyway, let me know if you guys need training birds for next summer.

My quail are in a bad way... as in raccoon bad, and ferel cat, and possum. I went from 26...to 2. Both male frown

Too bad you only ended up with 3 females. I've ben trying like crazy to track more down, to no avail. California Valley are flippin' hard to come by.

I'd be happy to send you a pistol case of eggs.

Jason Y here turned me onto a guy in Longview who has heavy duty fencing for half the price of anyone else. This is "second" fencing, but it is entirely servicable. If I remember correctly, you have suffered losses before, so it might be time for an upgrade in fencing. 100' of 6' 2"x4" no climb was about $90. Easily twice that at Dell's or Tractor Supply. Supplement with galvanized hardware cloth as needed.

Also, build one of these, buy some .22 longs or shorts, and take care of business. Killing goes both ways.

So what is it with dogs and socks? I got so tired of retrieving my socks from Tye I screamed at him, beat him, shook him and put the socks away. Within minutes, I look up and see
. . .


Then for good measure he ate my grandson's homework. We wrote the teacher a note. I do hope he has a sense of humor.

You can blame the small holes on top of it on Tye's dad Blue. Tye was getting out of hand one day and Blue thought he needed some discipline.

Add to the list.
My black lab Abby is in heat , Bristol the browndog is beside himself and cannot keep his paw's off the poor girl she's abought 30 pounds lighter and is getting down right mean to him.
I cannot even let them out at the same time as Bristol pounces on her at any given chance. She gave him a bloody nose this morning.

Dave you want an addition to your family ? I can let it happen !!! Double the fun.

Boris was big into socks for his first few weeks and not much since. However, I took a nap yesterday and when I woke up, a pile of dirty clothes had been redistributed around my room (although nothing was chewed on). I think they have days where their frustration gets the best of them and revert back to their younger days.

Dave, IF you catch him in the act, one form of punishment that has always worked well for me is to pin the dog down sideways on the ground. Keep one hand on the side of his butt and one hand around his front shoulders or neck. He'll try to pop-up because he won't like it. DO NOT let him up until he is completely submissive. Usually, I give him some angry-sounding words tellling him not to do that again and holding up whatever he grabbed and telling him it isn't for dogs. Usually, at that point, if I put the item in front of him (the sock in this case) he'll bow his head and turn away from it.

Ah, yes the sock thing. i know it well...... it's such an issue at our house that lindsey made me this in her ceramics class:








heard about the chicken-killer aversion therapy, by placing the dead chickens on the offending dog's collar. figgered that it might work with socks, too. not so much....

They need their own sock. Take one sock, stuff another one in it and tie a knot on the end. That's what we always did.

btw/ When these lab threads started up, I was really thinking about getting one. I have changed my mind since, because of the first 2 looooong years.

BD,

Last night I jokingly told my wife we should get another one. She said there would be plenty of room for him as she would be leaving.

Just found my Dog curled up right on top of my pillow...of course the sheets and pillow cases were just washed a couple days ago. He knows it's impossible for me to get mad at anything he does. flog

Dave, your dog obviously has his own stash!

Tying the sock around his neck so that he can take his snack with him is a great idea.

I too was thinking of getting one, but have reconsidered, seeing as we just got the kids out of the house and I am liking the peace and quiet.One of the boys ate everything in sight, maybe that's where my socks went.
