    Yesterday returning from a shopping trip I was met in the front hall by a friendly, happy Molly. The only problem with this is that I thought I'd left her safely tucked up in her crate. Clearly NOT.

    She had shredded a photo from my bookcase and pinched and chewed up a memory stick off my desk. But she hadn't attacked my books, shredded my chair, chewed up the furniture or torn up the floor. Reading other member's experience I reckon I got off very lightly.

    She had that lovely 'just got out of my bed warmth' about her when we got home so I reckon she'd nipped out of her crate, had a snack and gone back in. Clearly she is happy in her crate.

    Not so much a labrador behaving badly, but a human, me

    hhmmm....a few times I thought I must not have left Charlie safely secured (luckily I was at home everytime - otherwise he would have chewed the entire house, so yes, I think you got off lightly) - only to find out that he had worked out how to operate the catches! The door is tied up with nylon webbing now...

    The damage bill sounds pretty small compared to the potential :) Hope the photo isn't an irreplaceable one.

    I was tucked up in bed while reading this.... But just broke off to go downstairs and double check I'd locked Buddy's pen- luckily I had, but I think we all need to get into the habit of double checking. So glad your damage was minimal!

    Oh poor Tina and clever Molly hope it gets resolved soon...Cooper too was a chewer nd likes to chewoff slippers and my scooter's seat i had it replaced for more than 4 times though all tat has stopped now except for the slipper part i always keep an eye on him and check on him often wenever he is out to see if he upto something since he sleeps under the scooter. i realize something is wrong wen there is an errie silence outside and wen i check out i will be greeted wid the chewed off stuff all this was wen he was a puppy and it was hilarious even now im a lil careful but it doesnt happen....he has grown out of it... Molly will too enjoy her :p :p :) :) :) :) :)
