    Dear me, poor labs rarely know when to stop. Totally ruled by their stomach.

    My dad's lab, Ralph, many years ago, ate an ENTIRE roast chook in one gulp. Mum turned away for a second to answer the phone. Came back...no chook. No sign there ever was a chook.

    I met a Labradoodle once with stitches all the way down it's belly. It had to have surgery to remove an entire corn cob it gulped.

    My own Lab...when she was a pup we let her off the leash and she made a beeline to someone's wheely bin. Only she could have known there was a whole banana in there. She loves bananas!

    She has also eaten a bar of soap in previous years.

    A Labrador is certinally a unique creature and not for everyone. I think Lab owners have great tolerance and pateince! :-)

    lol Labradors... I called one of my best friends who I used to work with & she said "Who would own a labrador??? They are walking eating machines!"

    My Abby the Labby ate a bucket of puppy biscuits when she was 12 weeks old... it was in a cupboard that she figured out how to open and ate the lid off it and then half the bucket. I got home from work, put her in the car and straight to work for a stomach pump.... she was twice the size before the stomach pump! She also enjoys a bit of rubbish scavenging... and she loves chicken poo!!! Crazy creature. We always tell people not to let her lick them... who knows whats been in her mouth!??! She's had garbage guts multiple times (gastro due to eating rubbish). She also had a My Little Pony head come out her bum.... lucky it came out!!!

    Then again, when she donates blood she looks up lovingly at the person who is sticking a giant needle into her jugular and slowly wags her tail.... and I have all the love in the world for this gentle creature....

    Oh and my Ebony loves cat poo. But apparently all dogs do.

    Oh no! They love to eat dont they!! Glad she is okay.

    We had a lab cross shepherd growing up and my dad had this massive bbq that was built specifically for his height (he is 6foot 5). We were having a bbq and ran out of gas mid BBQ. SO we left the steaks on there and went to get gas. We got back and the 3 steaks at the front of the hot plate were gone as Laddie (our dog) had put his front poors up on the brick work and got them off!

    It is very hard to stop a lab from eating. Make sure you check out the movie Marley and Me and you can see how much labs love to eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!!
