A year ago a mixed lab adopted us. Her dad was a border collie/blue healer mix who prefered blondes (golden retriever). At 90 pounds we call her the bionic dog because she destroys non destructable toys in under an hour. Only the King Dong survives. She has chewed through a heavy chain link fence leaving little pieces of steel on the ground. She loves to run with our horses when we ride. This morning she brought both of my slippers to my side of the bed in the same mouthfull. Newspapers from neighbors yards, limbs, whatever are retrieved post haste. Spend a lot of time training them when they are young and it pays off later. Congratulations!

I've got a 14 month old 40 lb Scottish terrier / cocker spaniel mix crossed with a black lab / standard schnauzer mix (Nemo - a rescue dog the Misses just had to have)...that does the same type stuff, except he loves kids, loves water, snores when he sleeps, eats toilet paper off the roll and runs through the house with it, drinks Budweiser only, destroys our shoes sometimes, destroys all toys except his Frisbee and Kong within the hour, and seems to find stuff all over the neighborhood.....none of the neighbors claim it theirs....he goes into the woods a lot, up and along the streams...just rambles.

His legs aren't even 1/2 the height of his body only height , maybe a third......a little Popeye though and doesn't shed solid black curly hair that will grow 4-5 inches in 6 months.

He collects, deer bones, groundhog bones, rocks, sticks, beer cans, shoes, toys, and tools from somewhere.

No! He ain't spoiled rotten neither! (& I'm a lying, big time) LOL!!

Thank you.

They are already chewing the firewood we have on the porch. My girl got back and got them collars, flea, tick and mosquito drops, treats and anything else she could think of. They hit pay dirt when they found us. LOL

Will do, and thanks.
