My chocolate lab is 7 months old now and he has eaten, well actually -- swallowed whole, every pair of socks that I or my kids have tried to hide from him (he still finds them), and also has eaten 3 of my bras! He eats EVERYTHING!

This can kill a dog. The dog needs to be kenneled unless he is with you being watched.
Things need to be kept put away--socks and bras need to be kept in the dresser drawers, crayons in the desk draw and kept in a tin.
You need to store everything on high shelves or in locked cabinets. Get the locks for babies.
I also have a black lab, actually I had 2 but had to give one away and let me tell you LABS ARE GOATS! Both are now 7 years old and I still have contact with the lady who took the one due to her scaling a 6ft fence and she has a solid wooden fence in her yard so she does not see things and escapes, both still are sock and panty eaters. When I had them both they ate my micro fiber sofa and love seat, the paneling, the carpet, the kitchen tiles and anything they could get there mouths on. They even ate my kitchen chairs. I would put up wood barriers to keep them from the bathroom and laundry room which they managed to figure out how to open and have managed to bend the metal on my doors so they can pull them open to get at things. I figured it was just a "Puppy Stage " thing and it would stop.
Consider a dog a baby. You must keep anything non edible locked up or on a high shelf. Consider gates or crating when you cant be around
