Lab gluttony, owner stupidity

     I have a labrador/golden mutt.  Charleigh is a heavy chewer and loves rawhides, which have gotten very expensive lately.  The big Christmas ones were on sale this week (the 2 footers), so I got her one.  She just carried it around for a while trying to figure out how to tackle it, but once she did, I couldn't get it away from her.  She would grab it and run away from me all around the house.  It was hers.
     I gave up and hoped she would quit when she was full.  No such luck.  Within an hour it was gone.
     At 3 am I was awakened by retching.  By the time I got the light on and got to her she had puked the entire thing onto my bedroom carpet...a steaming pile of rawhide bits.  She was wagging her tail and I swear she was smiling.
     30 min. later it was all cleaned up, and I couldn't get back to sleep.  I could only be angry at myself.  Labs are gluttons and will eat themselves into a coma if given the opportunity.  She is worse than me at Thanksgiving.  I must remember this for next time.
