Expensive Toys!!!

Hello All,

Before we got Scooby we spent quite a lot of Money on toys for him, although now he's 6 months old we think we really shouldn't have bothered!! Wink

Reason being is he so happy playing in the Garden with Plant Pots and back door mats, why on earth would he spend his time on anything else. Very Happy

We were decorating at the weekend and so he thought that would be a good opportunity to ransack the garden. when i went out there to make sure that he was ok, it looked like a bomb had gone off!!!. Plants all over the place, upturned mud and soil on the grass, chewed and half eaten plant pots and even the back door mat had been chewed!! Surprised

Do you think this was because he was Bored or just saw the opportunity to be Mischievous??? Wink

I think he was just being a Lab Smile

Harvey is exactly the same - house full of toys but would rather chew on rubbish (especially in the garden)

Ground Force with a difference Laughing

I know what you mean about the toys, Corbie was quite happy with shoes, newspaper, cardboard, etc when we first got him and all his toys just sat there. Luckily, he now plays with them! Very Happy

Corbie did some gardening at the weekend too - I potted up some ornamental grass that was not looking healthy, I then go and do some weeding at the bottom of the garden to look back and see Corbie standing there with the newly planted grass out of the pot and in his mouth!

I did rescue and re-pot and now I've put it out of his reach Laughing

Corbie has toys out there, but I think they like to explore while no one is watching and think 'ah that's new, wonder what this does?!'

Hi,

I think your lab was just given the chance to wreak your garden! Laughing

Ben my lab will try at any opportunity to wreak anything of ours, he goes from pinching things to chewing things up! Just puppy behaviour I think...LOL
