High-Maintenance Labrador Turns New Dog Bed Into Total Drama

Mabel, the Red Fox Labrador, doesn't do anything halfway, so when she decided the new doggy bed was actually a toy, there was no changing her mind! In fact, not only did the Lab refuse to use the bed for its intended purpose, but she also made it clear that her Dalmatian sisters wouldn't be enjoying it either.

All three pups keep life a little hectic, and the latest TikTok from @mabelthefox is no different. As the video plays, Mabel has declared the new dog bed public enemy #1 and is busy showing the fluffy, stuffed rectangle exactly who's boss.

Mom mentions in the caption that she "tried adding an extra bed into the living room," but Mabel immediately pounced on it and threw a few playful puppy punches. Just when it looks like she's about to walk away, her two Dalmatian sisters sneak in to investigate one corner-but Mabel quickly grabs the opposite end and basically folds it right over on top of them!

Each time Ouiser, the littlest sister, gets a moment to enjoy the bed, Mabel steps in and immediately adds chaos. She uses her nose to push the doggy bed across the living room floor in long shoves, but never leaves it alone for very long. It's clear she's decided that this bed won't be adding any comfort for anyone!

While the Lab is focused on the new dog bed, her sisters keep pestering her. Unfortunately for them, she's so locked in on her destructive mission that she hardly even notices their playful antics!

This Is Exactly What Mabel's Fans Expected

Many followers already know Mabel is more of a water-loving pup rather than a landlubber! So it wasn't surprising she wouldn't like the new dog bed. One fan said, "Well.... of course she says NO because it's too 'float/ship-like' for her liking... and she'll be completely destroying it soon, anyway."

Mom quickly confirmed that the Labrador had indeed started destroying their new doggy bed, saying, "She did rip the zipper open and start to attack the insides."

Another viewer wrote, "They're definitely putting that new bed through the wringer!!! " while Mom joked, "Luckily, she didn't overreact!"
