Is your wife the one that likes to clean or take labs for a walk? Actually it wouldn’t be Labs but any other dog does the same thing. I think!
Wife is a cleaning machine when she gets going, me n doggy go run and hide when she cranks on the vacuum cleaner. We walk our border collie together, just had a hour n a half walk thru the hills, never enough for this doggy, will dig a hole if not entertained. Doggy needs a job!
