The last Lab I had chewed up everything it could get ahold of. Worse than any other Puppy I have ever raised. Are all Labs like that?

well, he's a husky/lab mix and his name is Brutus.

he sez "who's murphy?"

guess one of these days they may have to meet

took him to the vet today, guess they were glad we got another dog(had to put our last one down a couple of weeks ago.
wife already has him going in a litter box:)

tom, sorry you had to put the dog down. I still miss my shepard I put down 2 years ago.

as I recall you had a cat pass away a short while back.

the current mutt we have is a good dog. She loves the shop so much I have to put her outside or chase her away so she does not get hurt when I am welding or grinding. Sparks and noise do not bother her

--------------------------

We had five Labs in our family, and none of them chewed anything except toys.

One of them did have a habit of chewing the downed birds he retrieved, after my Dad shot them. ...We cured that by making him carry a stick filled with nail points. ....After that, he would carry raw eggs without breaking them.

You could have spent a few hundred and consulted a dog psycholgist, to find out why your Lab was so destructive.

Here's our latest. He has already lived through Parvo, so hopefully that means he is a lucky Dog. Half Redbone, half Black & Tan. Martha wanted him because she thought he looked like the Pup in "The Fox and the Hound". I convinced her to name him "Chief" instead of "Copper" though...

yeah, he was the best.
his liver quit, they thought it might be a tumor and he was too old to operate on.
this'n ain't nothing like him and maybe that's a good thing.
not good or bad, just a change.

2 cats.....

He's busy being Murphy. I hope Drifter isn't reading this in Doggy Heaven but Murf is the best dog I've ever had. He has a very unique, almost human personality.

My Dad and I's 135 lb pet pony; drips drool everywhere the moment she hears a beer being opened, or a cork being pulled and drinks bourbon too:
