Well, Labs are so dimwitted they don't know when they are supposed to
be sick. I used to have one. He was a great dog, but boy was he dumb.
He would chew on empty metal cans and glass bottles, or anything else
he found. My sister once sent me a Lebanon Bologna for Christmas and
the UPS guy stupidly left it on the front porch. Oscar, my Lab, had
a great time eating the bologna and the box it came in.

Yeah, I was pretty mad about the bologna, but I mostly blamed
the UPS guy.
