Are these hens? Love the tail feathers.

I don't know how he hasn't perished by now. I love my dog, but never again.

Ditto on the doodle. Mine snuck a fried chicken thigh off my unattended plate on the table the other day. The definition of self-serving in everything she does but can manage just enough good dog stuff to keep my husband from leaving her out in the country somewhere

For sure, I can't tell you how much stuff my Doodle has chewed up and eaten. I don't know how he hasn't perished by now. I love my dog, but never again. He is the smartest stupid dog I have ever had. He will learn a new trick or command in 5 minutes without a treat, but will chew up anything he can get his teeth on still and he is 3 years old.

6 years ago when our last dog moved on out of here, I didn’t say never. BUT I told my wife it would be a very long time before I remotely considered another dog, if ever. They are exhausting. I can house train a cat to go to the door in like 2 days. No litter box needed.

The buff ones? No, they're cockerels

leaving him out in the country somewhere

I had a doodle once and that's how I got him. Never again though. Worse farm dog ever. OK, almost ever. Huskies are the worst.

My husband and son are both mildly allergic to cats, so we can't keep a cat indoors. However, I never would have dreamed my husband would grow to like a cat (he is not a cat person) like he seems to like my son's cat, Dixie. He won't part with the old S10 because she goes in the truck through the window to sleep. I catch glimpses of him petting her and carrying her to the porch. He likes the cat and calls her "my cat." She hates our Doodle though and she will not come in the house as long as he is here, so outdoors on the enclosed porch is where she stays during the winter.

We will likely never have another house dog again after this one. We got the Doodle for our son and he is a good dog, but the chewing and constant grooming is a pain in the neck. I clip and groom all of our dogs myself, and he is by far the worst to deal with. Speaking of the devil, that is my chore for this evening.

My Doodle is microchipped unfortunately. It would be my luck someone would bring him back.

Anything you don't want him to chew, put a dab of Vicks on it. You may have to repeat for a while. I have other techniques that work really well if you want to DM me so we don't derail this thread.

Re the chewing, both of you see my post 718.

Re the chewing, both of you see my post 718.

Mine doesn’t chew on things anymore. She just eats things I would rather she didn’t—like food out of the baby’s hand or chicken poop. There’s no putting Vick’s on that
