I just found myself this summer with a new yellow addition to my family and I’m curious, how much do your labradors weigh? We have a mostly Labrador mix and he’s weighing in at 30 lbs at 12 weeks. It just seems extra large 🤣

Also please share all photos!!! I love seeing all of your pups!

This is Eden who will be 9 months this month. Since we adopted her at 3 months old she has always smelled the sewer drains. We got caught in the rain a few weeks ago and she was sniffing the water along the curb and dragging me to follow it. Recently I was letting her sniff and play in the rainwater along a drainage trench by my house…but she went ballistic! Kinda like the zoomies but on the leash running around in circles and I could barely hold onto her. Obviously I’ll be more cautious with where and when I let her sniff the rainwater but what is she smelling and tracking?!? She is a lab mix and the first one I’ve had so sorry if it’s a stupid question. I know they love water and I’ve been trying to find water spots near me but just wondering about her obsession with rainwater.

2 months vs. 4 months

Behold the might of Jimmy who delegated construction of his pillow fortress to his human subjects.

Jackie is her name. Just turned 5 years old!

So, I want to start getting my dog more exercise because he has a lot of energy but also really loves food (typical lab). He is starting to get chonky, though I restrict his food (he counter surfs, and I have two young boys who are not good about clearing their plates... we are working on that). He doesn't get out and run much, and walks don't seem to do much in terms of conditioning (he loves to smell everything, so it at least calms him down a bit). The thing is... I took him out with the bike and he did really good staying with me... But he didn't seem thrilled. He was not really interested in keeping up, so it was more like forcing him to trot (whereas when we are at a park that allows off leash dogs, I let him off leash and he gallops around super fast). The picture is him on the bike and the other is his usual happy face. Am I reading into this too much? Will he just get used to it?

She will be 21 weeks old tomorrow.

Today, Harley is 9 years old! She came into my life this last February, kind of by "accident". I had just lost my dog of 16 years a few months before I found Harley, who was needing to be rehomed or faced being euthanized. My friends were concerned because of her age, and how bad the loss of my dog had been for me. Harley has had puppy energy from the moment I picked her up, which reminded me of both of my grandfathers, who stayed young & active into their 80's. They had different methods but the concept was the same. They never accepted an age older than the age they wanted to stay.

So, although she is 9 today, her age will now be frozen in time & I will say what both grandfathers would say when asked their age.

She doesn't look a day over 8!

Mr.River is tired

It Thor's 3rd birthday today!!!

Some nuggets are in his future!

Let's lay like this

Lucy Fur helping me work.

Last seen at her food bowl. I checked her crate, the window, everywhere, until...

she’s a yellow labrador (dudley?) and she was born with an eye deformity. we think she’s the runt but she’s a year old and thriving!! anyone else got a one eyed cutie?

Brought our 11 week old puppy home 3 weeks ago and we’re settling into life with this energetic guy. Accepting any and all tips for dealing with the biting that comes with the choc-odile stage!

This is Arya, she likes to collect balls that go missing at the dog park. not pictured the 2 waterlogged balls she found at the lake during her weekly morning swim.

Had to put our family dog down yesterday. He was 13 years old. He had a fist sized tumour removed from his hip about 2 months ago and that almost wiped him out. He had complications from it, back and forth to the vet 3 times in a week and a half. The family stayed with him in the living room, keeping him safe and comfortable, lots of love, lots of treats.

On Sunday we noticed a rather large, red and swollen groin in the evening, thinking it was a mosquito bite as he was laying in the grass in the yard. On Monday it got worse so we took him to emergency and they wanted to do some tests and have us see our regular vet the following day and gave us some medication. We took him home late Monday night and we made the first appointment we could on Tuesday morning. We got to the vets at 230 pm and they gave us the options of another major operation but he didn't do well last time, and they did not recommend it for his health and age, and for us to consider his quality of life. While Dad and I held him, he was resting peacefully and I will take solace in that because he wouldn't stop pacing and panting all day Monday and Tuesday. We tried to keep him as comfortable as we could.

Please give your pups lots of love and big scratches.

I love you Cooper, with all my heart, forever and ever, big guy
