I definitely feel for you. It must seem like the lab has taken over your life. We had a similar problem when my daughter brought home a baby kitten. I could not believe that adding one tiny kitten could turn a home upside down. My big, black lab thought that kitten was a nice furry ball that fit right inside her mouth! Lots and lots of training was the way we got some peace. Stay, sit, and no were heard all day long. The training will also keep the dog mentally challenged, which should help, and give her some one on one time with you.

I agree with Karen that you should definitely read Marley and Me because it is about a very hyper lab that almost destroys a marraige and a few houses along the way. It will make you laugh and commisurate. (Just don't read the last chapter. That will make you cry.)

Good luck and keep us posted.
