yes I've noticed this too- chocolate labs do seem to take longer to become less, shall we say, Puppy-ish. LOVE the big ol' chocolate labs and miss my big boy!

Thanks for sharing, HappyDaze! We wouldn't trade our big girl black Lab, although some days.... LOL!

Bossmama, pls forgive me as this is turning into a chocolate Lab storytelling thread. I just have to add a story to go along with ccassiday's story.

When my Lab was about six month's old, I was making a batch of pie crust which I individually wrap and freeze. I had eight perfectly wrapped pie crusts when, up from the floor bounces my puppy. She grabs the closest one and is off to the races.

I had the kitchen door and French doors blocked off as we were still in dog training mode. That dog had a ball running me around the table trying to catch her. The little rat swallowed the Saran wrapped pie crust in one gulp. OMG, I was ready to kill her. Our vet was called out on an emergency call so we made an appointment. I had to follow the dog every time she went to do her business. She eventually passed the Saran wrap with no ill effect. That fixed me on leaving things on the counter. Never again!

OMG! Sorry, Lilysmom, but I did laugh while reading your tale....

Bossmama, my apologies as well for the bumps in your thread! Hope things are going well with your little one!

Lucylover64, it was very comical. I'm usually calm and collected but I lost it that day. I never knew she could move so fast. It was a great game to her and I'm sure I was a sight covered in flour chasing her around the kitchen table. My family still laughs about it. The moral of the story is that a Lab will eat anything in front of them, good, bad or ugly!

I have a female collie who doesn't normally counter surf but I had bought my dad a 2lb bag of that peanut butter taffy wrapped in orange and black waxed paper around Halloween. He loved all things peanut butter. I didn't miss it but she got it and ate the entire bag. When I fed her that evening, she took one look at her food and barfed up the whole bag of candy. Most of them were still neatly wrapped. She must have had a whale of a tummy ache. Two pounds is a lot of candy.

I LOVE labs-- they are my favorite! Very Funny stories!!

Kachina, that was something! A whole bag of candy still in the wrapper. OMG what these dogs do! I always say my Lab will eat anything put in front of her, good, bad or ugly. As long as she can get it in her mouth, she's good to go!

I'm so glad! Maybe he's outgrowing it and settling into his new home.
