Does she like chewing your feet, computer bag, chair and kids beds as well?

Our Golden Lab (Long since gone) was the most destructive puppy we've ever had - chewed everything - gotta love 'em - but I didn't have a pair of shoes I could go out in after a few months. Got a pic somewhere of him hanging off the washing line with a towel in his mouth - just hanging there - not even struggling to try and get it off the line. Great dogs and family pets.

Mika came after our Golden Ret Shadow died recently. Poor fellow was the only one of my family not to survive a car crash, Bike crash or similar. Happily I was with him holding him as he left. Put a tear or two in the eyes typing that.



Oddly Mika seem to mouth not chew on my toes like he did as a pup 14 years ago She is currently asleep on a teenagers toes while doing school work. A bit of a hit during ZOOM sessions at school

My Vet nurse daughter & I took Pip for his last visit to the Vet's this morning . Since my last post a week ago he had developed multipool tumours on his chest & legs & the one on his foot had doubled in size after having a needle biopsy done on the one on his foot . It was so nice for my daughter to be there with me , I could never have done it by my self .
I would like to thanks those of you who helped me with my decision . Thank You.

Deepest condolences, but you know you've done the kindest thing.

Thank you . Hardest thing I have ever had to do. He has been part of our life for almost 16 years.

Hard to believe the first pic was taken in late Feb

Just read about a destructive dog.. we let him rip into a cardboard box just now ( Covid boredom as he is rarely allowed inside)

Totally get that's the hardest thing to do , my old girl lasted nearly 16 years too , condolences to you, such a bastard they can't stay longer but then at what point do you say it's time to go? there would never be a good time .
I'm not ashamed to say I was broken for months after . I still think of her every day after nearly 9 years.

I now have another who is a cracker but getting on herself in years , and no doubt it'll be the hardest thing all over again , but would I change the good memories ...... not a chance coz they're the happiest moments too

Best you can do is love them and give them a great life I suppose , as short as that is.

Pic is the current girl and she doesn't really like port ( she'll knock a newby's beer over if they put it down and try to drink it though:-)
