The Puppy Groweth
Marigot didn't cut the grits with the chirren, BTW, so she's Bella. Should be called Bitah, though. My forearms look like roadkill. Believe she could gnaw through concrete. She's buck-assed wild. She also developed 4 nasty lesions on her back a week after I brought her home, which the vet treated with aggressive injections of velocicoin, spit, and shoe polish. All is well now.
And, yes, she does look rather forelorn. You would, too, if I was your master. And please consider that an open invitation.
Just...awwww!
Look up, "baleful" in the dictionary and Bella's pic should be there.

That sounds more like a challenge than an invitation...

Posted by: velociman at August 27, 2006 5:21 PMShe's just trying to decide what to eat next. It's a little know fact that labs and goats are first cousins. The last one I had ate pine cones, 2 by 4's, and the occasional plastic sandbox toy. We had the most colorful doggie land mines in the neighborhood.

Posted by: rankin' rob at August 29, 2006 9:40 AMName her after a disease - those are always the best names for pets. Even a slight abnormality would work, like "ketosis" or something.

Posted by: NancyB at August 30, 2006 1:42 PMTry chunks of hard wood. My Shiba Inu damned near ate thru the French doors before a friend suggested that. I had some maple scraps left over from a kitchen remodel, so I gave her a 2x2x1 piece.
A month later she had is gnawed down to the size of a peach pit.
If you don't want it chewed, don't put it where she can get to it. Much like having a 15-month old human in the house. Actually, exactly like that.
