Bellacose
When I first brought Bella home many people suggested I read Marley and Me, the humorous real-life travails of a couple with the Labrador From Hell. And as luck would have it Jack Straw gave my daughter said tome for Christmas.
The freaking dog can chew. With Irony. Although she does have flashes of remorse for her errant ways.
I keep reminding myself I'm the Master here. I am, of course. Aren't I?
I'm thinking this opposable thumbs thing is way overrated, though.
With two daugthers, one wife and a female dog, there is no way you are the Master!

Oh, were we talking about puppies? I was thinking about Texas Aggies...

Posted by: Yabu at January 4, 2007 11:56 PMThat opposable thumb thing is very much in doubt where I live.
And No you are staff, not master.
Yes! Really! You are the master. uh huh. Totally in command.
Shit, my dog has already eaten two couches.

Posted by: Dash at January 5, 2007 5:06 PMhad a dog that ate the bricks off my front steps..., give him left overs and all the green stuff would be on the floor around the bowl...
Posted by: holder at January 6, 2007 9:32 AMShe's a beauty! I'm a little tender right now over the loss of my lab, but man...how can you deny those eyes? Really...try the clicker training thing. I swear it works! My guy never chewed a single thing. While his full sister, my brother's lab... well, it tweren't pretty. She dragged an entire frozen turkey home from some neighbor the day before Thanksgiving.
