Yesterday Tye found a wild pig leg left by a sucessful hunter. I thought what the heck he can chew on that for awhile. Next thing I know he has eaten it all! Hide, bone and hoof.

A bit later he herked it up, but of course he later ate the good bits out of the herk pile.

I had a Lab that ate four feet of wiring that was still plugged in. I was at school during the day and, when I got home, I couldn't figure out why my lamp wasn't working.

Half a florecent light tube and one of the aluminum ends of it. Actualy found the end and chunks of glass while picking up the poo pile in the back yard.

My Golden Retriever has eaten Dvd's, a couch, the wife's credit and debt cards the other day, etc, etc. Also, she enjoys the Almond Rocca from the cat box. Cat sh!t is like a delacasy to her.

One of my cats loves cured eggs too. Haha.

You know when you consider all this stuff and the high dog-ownership on this site, what we need is a die-hard Vet (Doc) fisherman here on PP.

My lab ate his blanket that we put in his doghouse. Saw him struggling trying to take a dump, and spotted about 2 feet of blanket hanging out. Went over and stepped on it and the rest of the blanket emerged.

Cedar ate 11 donuts on Sunday. Someone left the box in the counter, open. He apparently left one for Hunter, upside down, on the floor.

Then rolled in it. then ate some more. smelled like a whorehouse at low tide. mack puked up another sock last weekend. i'd stopped counting when i hit a dozen since he came to live with us in may. plenty of colorful bits in the poo...earplugs are especially tasty!

Kaiser ate a whole bar of Ivory soap that was half-buried in some Nooksack silt. I didn't even know it until he puked it up on the ride home. For some reason, it was one of the worst smells I've ever known.

Boris ate one of my wife's thongs (the underwear, not the shoe).

After having Labs for most of my life I'd think that the list of "what won't a Lab eat?" would be a short one, indeed.

Fish on...

Mom used to make spaghetti sauce in a 5 gallon pot and then let it cool outside on the steps. Brook polished most of it off before we heard her dog tags banging around inside the pot.

Tye 8 another quail today. This has to stop as the hunting has been pretty poor. Between my bad shooting and the lack of quail Tye is really eating up the profits

My business partner's 6-month old chocolate went to a Bachelor party on the Hoh river.....and was fed the steak fat from about a dozen guys at Cottonwood. Next morning we break camp, and find a gravel pit up the road to shoot skeet and whatnot for an hour before heading home.

Lab sitting on the seat between us in the new F 150 starts fidgeting on the ride home going through Forks, partner says "easy boy, we'll stop soon"......we made it to the road shed just past Salmon Drive when the dog lets loose in his owner's lap at 60 mph.

After the 4 wheel skid stop, I threw the dog in the ditch, where he release the rest of it. That smell still haunts me every time I drive by that spot. Pard throws his jeans in the ditch. Sappho store had windex, nothing else to attempt clean up and deoderizer.

Man I love Labs

After this past hunting season when Sage could barely move after a day of hunting I took her to the vet to discuss an aging hunting dog.

He had me put her on a diet of a 1/2 cup in the morning and a 1/2 cup in the evening. He also gave me some arthritis pills to give her a day before, day of and day after heavy activity.

Well now she eats her meal in about three bites and spends the next hour barking at me and the following hour attempting to get at anything that may or may not be food.

So I go out to dinner with my Mom and Aunt and left her in the truck which was a big mistake. She got into my center console and ate the whole bottle of arthritis pills including the bottle. How do I know this. Well she promptly puked up everything including the green bottle!

I guess there is a reason why canines have about the most primitive digestion system in all of the animal kingdom!

Sky developed a taste for dry wall...
Had pops play doggy daycare and found some rat poison under his couch.
She seems to like my feathered intruders too

The only thing my lab wont eat is, nothing. He will eat everything and as much of it as he can. He's been known to eat other dogs and cat chit when he's feeling territorial. Makes me livid and wanna puke!! My buddy's lab from work is the most carnivorous son of a bitch ever. Eats whole grouse, rabbits and whatever else it can find. His sons little runt lab ran at a coyote full sprint to squabble amd ripped its throat out and swallowed it when he was a ranch hand in Idaho, as legend has it.lol

Truly awesome dogs!

After reading this thread I've changed my mind about the retrievers I've had. They really were selective as to what they would eat by comparison. Well more selective than some of these Labs.

just got home and the knuckleheads had decided that the soup of the day was campbells tomato. they got through 1 of those microwavable bowls (they're plastic, with a pull top lid) and started on the 2nd. Decided to wash it down with a bottle of soda--acai/blueberry. there is soup all over the office carpet, the hallway, and living room floor. blue stains as well. this is the first time this kind of thing has happened, i'm not pleased

A month or two ago one of my two labs got into my powdered jig head paint, don't think they ate any because they are both still alive but what a mess.

Re: What wont a lab eat? - 02/05/13 12:43 AM

The paint was in a closed Tupperware with all of my jig tying supplies, they will do anything to get to the feathers.
