playful pup-funny story.

We just adopted a 4 month old Golden Retriever/Black Lab mix named "Lady" about 2 months ago. She is a character I think she's grown about a foot in length and gained about 10 pounds since we got her. One of the best breeds though. She is definitely going through the chewing stage, but the funny thing is that she doesn't bother shoes. She knows which are her toys and pretty much leaves other things alone. Once in a while she picks up something she shouldn't but mostly she is a gem in this respect. The funniest thing she does is come running and try and jump in my lap in my Lazy Boy. We've almost went over a number of times. I know I should severely scold her for this, but I just can't bring myself to tell her she isn't a lap dog!

Yes there is nothing like a puppy for chewing. We use to have one who would get mad at one of us and then sneak just one shoe when we weren't looking, he totally destroyed it but never touched the other shoe. And he only took the shoe of whomever he was mad at.
