Mollie devours chews whenever she gets the chance. Rawhide bones, which I purchase rarely as I know they're not the best chew for her health, tend to last about 1-2 weeks once she's finished hiding it around the house (we found one once wedged between some storage boxes in the garage) but the...

A Lab would fit everything in your post, except you might need to add a little fetch into the exercise program besides the walks to a) tire them out and b) satisfy their deepest instincts.

I eat a well balanced diet. In every meal, I try to include a fist sized portion of protein, two handfuls of fruit or veggies, and a palm sized portion of whole grains as directed by my doctor. I avoid foods high in fat, sugar, or white flour. Just a pretty basic balanced diet.

Mollie loves looking out of the window. I let her do it. She particularly likes it when I open the window and she gets the breeze on her ears. :p
