It took her two years before she learned to stop chewing on any and everything that she could wrap her jaws around. Each day was a surprise as to what she might have made into her own personal destruction project, and then like a switch went off in her head, she quit. She's a great dog, loyal as any, and as much a part of the family as anyone. Heck, she's probably more a part of the family than some not-so-distant relatives. I wouldn't trade the experience for the world... but I would do things differently if I had to go through the puppy years again. Thanks for sharing, Christine.

I've had labradors around since I was 9 years old, although the names and characters have changed through the years. And then I moved away from NZ. It's been at least 7 dogless years now and my Belgian bloke says, sure I can have on again ... if I travel less. Hmmm, so for the moment, I think I'll for living vicariously through your Tilda stories but oh these photographs melted my heart and filled me with longing again. Congratulations!
