My OH let Cooper sleep on the bed when we brought her back in after the early morning potty break. It might have happened regardless, but she is...
Blue Green Algae is a significant problem in some areas of the US. The City of Salem, Oregon has an advisory for their water for Blue Green...
Our dogs have always slept in our bedroom. They don't talk about what we do.:eek:
I prefer the Nylabone fake sheds (antlers) to the real thing. As others have said, real sheds are very hard, and can wear or break teeth.
When I walk out on our lower deck with Cooper, she runs out the door, jumps off the deck and races across the yard. Sometimes she goes back and...
We would be in a world of hurt, if Cooper decided she did not like the car. Picking her up and putting her in would not be an option, and she is...
Many years ago, I had a Malamute, who started having seizures at 14. We tried Dilantin, with limited success. It took so much that he was...
She is a funny dog. We have never muzzled any of our labs, at the vet, or anywhere else. Cooper will struggle, but the thought of biting never...
Have you considered keeping him crated or at least in a puppy pen in the house when you aren't actively engaged with him? Does he go in his...
It is also called a Butt-Tuck. Seems to be more common in Lab pups than other breeds.
As some of you may recall, Tilly got into her meds a couple of weeks ago, and spent 3 days in the emergency clinic. We were pretty sure that...
I've had a Rough Collie, a Malamute and three Chocolate Labs. Malamutes are hard to train. Labs, Goldens and German Shepards are a lot more...
The Mesh Fabric Muzzle is open on the end, so the dog can still drink, and get his tongue out, but not open his mouth very far.
All three of our Labs have been spayed, and none of them had any digestive or other issues post surgery, except the normal couple of weeks limited...
We never used paper or puppy pads with any of our pups. I did not want to retrain them not to go in the house. We did crate training with both...
Cooper is definitely a Field type dog, while Tilly looks more like a traditional English Lab. That said, Cooper's coat is a much coarser double...
It doesn't stop barking completely, but it is a fabric mesh muzzle that keeps them from opening their mouth very far, so they can't do the big...
Tilly also pants more than she used to. She doesn't pant when she is quiet, but does a bit when she is, or has been, moving around much. Vet...
When Tilly was younger we used to cross country ski with her. If she encountered a X country skier who had fallen, she would immediately go and...
I mentioned that my Malamute would guard fresh bones, and we just tolerated the behavior. We did not have any children at the time, and we would...
