Labs are too goofy for that.  If I grabbed their front teeth, and commanded
"anything", they'd roll over on the floor (probably laughing)

Small snout I would imagine.. try sliding it down that chute these labs have


Anyway, glad spanky likes taking his pills

That's a shame.. So far no one has bitten my guys, and they haven't bitten
anyone either .. well, they have "bird-fetching teeth",
not the ripping/tearing type like some other breeds.

Take care,
