Love them dogs

LOL... We had a yellow lab at one time that the ex was trying to stop from chewing things. She wanted to put hot sauce on things. I told her he'd just eat it and want more. And he did. He would've eaten the whole bottle if we let him.

I once left a Craftsman electric staple gun on the back porch for like 5 mins. It was plugged in and loaded. I was using it on some indoor/outdoor carpet. Went inside for about 5 mins and came out. Electric cord was chewed off the gun. There were dents with teeth marks in the sheet metal housing of the gun and Otis, the dog, had a staple thru one of his ears. I just shook my head.

I have a couple cats that will devour your food if you leave your plate unattended for longer than about 30 seconds. My wife used to say we should get a dog to clean up the kitchen floor but now we have 3 out of 6 cats that clean the floor haha

Love them cats

Last I checked about 60% of Dobermans are prone to enlargement of the heart. Many die when there 8.
This bagged Doberman was 9.

Kind of a fucked up picture to post.

Yeah, not quite the positive nature of this thread.

That's funny! That would have made a great picture.... 'Staple Dog', with tongue hanging out, waiting for a 'good-boy'.

My friend had a cat that would chew through my shoe laces. After a few broken laces, I had to hide my shoes whenever I went over.

^^ There's actually more to the "Otis" story. When I get a dog it's for life. Good or bad. But we just couldn't handle this dog. He was out of control. We took him from a friend as a 10 month old puppy as a favor. We had no idea what we were getting into.

We made the gut-wrenching decision to take him to a shelter. He was a gorgeous yellow lab and I knew he'd be adopted quickly.

I got him to the shelter and didn't even make it inside. A lady with two boys, 8 and 10 ish, was arriving at the same time. They boys wanted to pet Otis and it was love at first sight for everyone. Long story short, she took Otis from me along with all of his "belongings". She lived south of the metro-area somewhere on an acreage and ran a hobby ranch with her husband. I felt horrible about giving up on a dog but it was done and he'd be in a better environment. I still felt very guilty...still do.

About a year later, give or take, I was working a graveyard shift at the sheriff's dept. I went to the 7-11 at Coal Mine and Wadsworth for a cup of coffee. I was sitting out front putting some notes on paperwork. Guy in a pickup pulls up next to me and goes inside. I noticed a big yellow lab in the cab watching him intently. I got his attention, he poked his head out of the window and then just went apeshit bouncing around inside the cab and barking and whining. He sure looked like Otis and acted like he'd known me his entire life. I was standing next to the truck petting him when the guy came out. I mentioned that Otis was a beautiful dog. The guy said, "Yeah, he's gorgeous but he's the biggest pain in my ass I've ever had. My wife adopted him and brought him home and her and my sons would kill me if I did anything to that dog. And he won't let me leave the house without him."

We made small talk and he told me about his ranch and how Otis got to swim in the pond, etc. Real Cinderella story for Otis. Obviously I knew it was him after the story. I always thought it was strange that I did something with him I'd never do to a dog and how I agonized over the decision to give him up, but how it worked out best for the dog and everyone else in the end. Mysterious ways.

^^Great story, happy ending. Good karma.

One of my yellow labs disappeared today. He's not the brightest dog but he's always come home except once when he went after something and I found him on someone's deck who wasn't there (summer cabin deal) maybe half a mile away a few hours later That was over a year ago.

He's 2 and a half years old, still a pup really, but he's a 60 pound lab so I doubt coyotes got him.

Been searching for hours. I'm crashing on the couch now hoping he comes home. His bud has been sulking for hours. I hope he doesn't know something I don't want to hear.

Oh man, that's no good.
