I think that is definitely a hound thing. My two mutts that are hound derivatives will roll on anything. Love those buggers.

New bed today. Can't believe he's only 18 weeks! When we picked him up he could lie on my belly, fully stretched.

Do you remember/have records of his weight at any other point? Trying to get a handle on how quickly ours will pile on weight.
And I'm a little embarrassed I have so many pics of my dog on my phone
Not exact but he's honestly about doubled in size every month

Meh. We're dog lovers. Got a few on mine. They're great critters, except when they're a$$holes. Lol

Puppy was doing so well for almost two months, now she started doing her solid business in the house. I can take her out, run her and let her play for an hour. As soon as I let her in, she runs to a corner and craps. I'm about to lose my mind. Everyone keeps telling me, she's just a puppy.. I get that.. but she was in the habit of going to the back door and asking to go out. We're back at square one..
Puppies can try your patience. Keep at it and he will learn.
Have you crate trained her?
Mine is eating everything. We swapped his hard cage/crate in the kitchen for his soft car carrier about two weeks ago because it fits him and the kitchen better. No problem for two weeks - come home today at lunch and he's eaten a whole in the side of it! Now as I write this he's lying at my feet with his favourite squeaky chew toy under his front paw whilst he gnaws at the carpet instead. [emoji36]
We've a lot of wild rabbits around our place and the damn things hop all over at night, when you CAN'T shoot them.
The Landshark has taken to running around the yard to find, and eat, their piles from the previous night. Ignores food after being crated all night to go out and eat rabbit crap.
And then tries to lick everyone on the face!
Not to be alarmist...I know it can be hard to totally stop them from doing it, but be careful. Our sheltie got a tapeworm from eating rabbit poop (the vet called it "doggie caviar") from the backyard.
He had been lethargic, losing weight, and having bloody dumps for a few days. We took him in to get checked out and the vet asked if we had a rabbit. We don't, but we get a lot of them in our yard. He said the dog had picked up a worm commonly carried by rabbits. It cost nearly $1500 to get him dewormed and back to normal. The things we do for our pets...
Yeah, I have never had a senior adopted dog with a chewing issue so I would say MOST grow out if. The exception was a 2/3'rds scale Irish Setter (no idea her actual breed). Until the day she passed I was no longer able to have a feather pillow. Something about a latent fowl prey drive.
both Monday and Tuesday night we step outside to take the Howdy for his evening walk and right there in the front yard is this rabbit.
the hound takes off after it, stopping short when he gets to the end of the 20 foot leash
two nights in a row, same rabbit, same spot
