55# at 6 months is not really small for a Lab. Cooper was about 58# and 21.5" at 6 months. She is 80# and 24+" now.
We haven't heard from @DebzC for a long time. How are you doing?
We did not crate in the day time, but did use a puppy pen in the kitchen, with a cardboard box on it's side for a "den". The crate was in the...
Mine will occasionally eat horse poo, but they usually ignore it. They don't eat dog poo, but Tilly may eat cat poo if she finds it. The good...
Cooper was only 8# at 8 weeks, and she is almost 80 now. Actually we cut back on her food a bit because she was up to 85# I don't think birth...
Not to bust your bubble, but the puppy weight is not much of an indication of the grown up dogs weight. Tilly was 7.5 lbs at 7 weeks and ended up...
Anyone who thinks pups are harder than children has a screw loose. We have a new granddaughter, and there is no comparison between what we went...
Our labs think dog biscuits are "High Value Treats" and we don't want to correct their thinking.
Dog parks are really common in the US and lots of people use them. I think there is some merit in having a dog tell another dog, what is not...
We used to put a pet playpen around the tree. Also you have to watch for presents under the tree that contain cookies, chocolate and the like.
Years ago, our first Lab, Ginger, ate a 16 oz semi sweet bar. We called the vet and he thought it would probably not be a problem, but he wanted...
Our dogs have always been on dry kibble, and never have their teeth cleaned. They look great, and the Vet agrees. They do chew on nylabones,...
There are hypoallergenic dog foods that can be used to eliminate the possibility of food allergy. Tilly has a problem with some foods, and we...
We left a 5lb bag of candy in the pantry yesterday, and forgot to latch the dog proof latch. When we got home a few hours later we had 2-1/2 lbs...
Too bad he can't be off leash at your beach. Is that typical of N.C. and S.C. beaches? (It's been more than 50 years since I went to school in...
Tilly is almost always submissive. Cooper can be, but she will stand up for her self also. A couple of weeks ago at a dog park Cooper was...
Ours goes though the wall of the house. In the winter we put an entry that looks like a dog house over it. It has a second dog door, so it is...
Tilly is nearly deaf. In the woods we use a radio collar, usually in vibrate mode to get her attention. I think some of it is selective hearing...
She will get better as she grows up. Cooper 2-1/2 and Tilly 11-1/2 still play bitey face and tug some times. Cooper will still bite Tilly's back...
