Picking up a new puppy, holding it close, and smelling it's puppy-breath
...one of the best experiences in life |

Ohhell yeah.
And that sweet, slightly burnt, sawdusty smell at the back of their ears :p That stayed right through with Pil. Justbehind his ears, he smelt the same as when he was a pup.

Dana's post about a puppy got me to thinking of the past 3 years with Vicky.
Now she is a full grown Lab (94 lb) that sleeps 23/24, but is ready to go all day long... if that's what we want to do. If/when awake, she's full curiosity, lives for water and protects our property from raccoons, squirrels and the ever-present invisible man. Here she is a 7 weeks, 1-, 2-, and 3- years |

Ah Dani, even I'm not immune.
'Ccepting I know how they grow up... Lamp, what a lovely sleek dog. I'm used to seeing fat Labs (sadly). Any trouble with her hips? I've known a number of chocolate Labs with problems there. |

These days it's a lot more of an expected thing that breeders show the hipscore (and in many cases elbow score) of the dam and sire.

Both of Vicky's parents were just plain hunting dogs that belonged to a friend.
... "AKC registered" but not nothing for show or field trials Her weight was up over 100, but we've now got her back down to where she belongs. Her Dad was 130+ and her Mom was about 95. She has shorter legs than her parents, more like the show-Labs on the east coast. So far, everything is working as it should ... especially the play/eat/sleep/dream multifunction switch. |

My friends had a chocolate lab that had to be kept on a strict diet,
He was such a gobbler. He would eat the live mive that the cats brought in. WHAT a monster! Until. Until. The Dizcat is on a successful diet. I know he is not starving. But he is acting like it. He has taken to pilfering random items from the kitchen table and sideboards - which he is strictly forbidden from jumping on, but we're veteran cat owners and have never risked leaving meat products on them. Nope. He has now snaffled biscuits, bread, rolls, tablets (in their packets, luckily) So yesterday I came home to an odd sponge on my bedroom floor and a cloud of dandruff. Diz had managed to get a bread roll from the side and take it upstairs, he ate at least half of it (the top). Mum assumed I'd taken one for lunch but did feel aggrieved that I had left the packet wide open. Diz doesn't understand about covering his tracks/ things going stale. I updated her on his new thievery and the case was closed. Until last night. POO! What a stinker! I thought Diz had laid down some rancid cable, but checking his tray in the morning there was nothing. Just bad wind I guess. Until this morning. POO! What a stinker. After I went to work, Mum was summoned to my bedroom by an almighty stink. Diz had explosive diarrhoea. Only in his tray. But in a sizeable part of it (it's a closed tray, so nothing on the surrounding surfaces!) At least he made it to his tray every time. GOOD BOY. Poor old Mum. She cleaned it five times. Bless her. Not my fault of course, I was at work. But rotten luck all the same. Poor, silly, greedy Diz. With the world coming out of his bott and no understanding why. All bread products now definitely kept in the breadbin. NOTHING to be left on the sides or table. |

As far as Labs are concerned, you can teach them anything... anything...with food rewards.
As far as Diz is concerned, maybe you need to buy gluten-free |

Is that the same as hip dysplasia?
