Hi Mike!

I guess I have one of each since one of ours would do that... She has  been
spayed, and I've seen her clean up her dish and Toby's (un-neutered) as
well
:)  I have to keep my eye on her when the food get put out for the two of them
:) Priscilla (the spayed one) must weigh a ton by now.. I think the last time
she was weighed, she was over 100 pounds :(  I've tried "diet"
food too.. they both stick their noses up in the air at it haha

I wouldn't doubt that if I made the open bag available, she'd pork out on it :)
:)

When they were younger, I was most amazed though at  how they ate the HOUSE
itself :) :)  When we were in Louisville, I remember they'd start digging,
clawing and chewing until they'd eaten walls, floors, you name it.  Not so
bad I guess.. I have a friend who told me his labs ate the bedsprings out
of his bed, and just umm.. passed them out in the yard .

Take care,
Janis
