As shown here, Seven often sneaks up and licks the dirty dishes as I'm loading the dishwasher. Last week he got more than he bargained for when, while my back was turned, he stuck his head into the dishwasher for a lick and caught his collar on the dishwasher rack. The rattling noise it made startled him and he reared out of the dishwasher, dragging the entire rack full of dishes with him. An ungodly racket ensued as Seven bucked around our front hall in a panic, swinging the rack full of dishes from his neck and littering the floor with cutlery and plates. After what seemed like an eternity but was probably only five seconds, Seven managed to free himself and went skittering down the hallway, ears plastered to his (empty?) skull.
The great news? Nothing broke! I can highly recommend Lenox Tin Can Alley. Their quality testing must involve Labrador Retrievers.
For anyone wondering, Seven was unscarred by this experience- not ten minutes later he was once again neck deep in the dishwasher. No one has ever accused him of being a quick study.
Classic!!
