I'm so happy for you! I bet puppyhood will be a bit of a change, but it will be so much fun to see him grow up!

Great job! I love all the photos and the 'serious' working faces. I hike with a friend who is in K9 SAR and she is training her ~9 month old black lab for search and rescue (she already has a 6 yr...
I am so happy for you! I've neglected to check in here for a while and missed the amazing news. I can't wait to watch Sonic grow up with you!
He doesn't look 7! I can't believe it's been that long. Time passes too fast with our pups.
I love his face! What a great smile.
I hear ya on the second dog thing. There are times when I think Thor really wants to go back to being an only dog, but then he'll seek out Barley to cuddle...
I check in and scan threads here but haven’t had much of an update in a while. I suppose that’s good - no major health or behavior issues that I’ve had to worry about. The first week of March is...
Oh Cookie. You’ve been such a fighter for so long and we’ve all been with you through your ups and downs. You’ve given Elena and us the gift of more years than we could ever expect. No matter if your...
I sometimes miss the puppy crazies with Thor. He is transitioning to grumpy old man (just turned 9) which also has its endearing traits, but he only zoomies outdoors when on walks with Barley now.

He's so handsome!
I spent a week with my sister’s adolescent lab this past summer and it cured me of any puppy fever!

What a birthday present! [emoji38] I’m glad you were able to find a perfect friend / sibling! I recently found out that Barley’s breeder is retiring and although we haven’t been considering another...
Cookie, tell your mom that when you’re 16 you get to do whatever you want even if it’s eating the cake too early. Happy birthday happy boy!
Hey Cookie. You know we are all rooting for you and send all the lab board love your way. We know how much of a fighter you are and how you have the best most loving mom any dog could ask for. Hang...
Oh I love him! Looks like Bubba is taking to the role of big brother just fine.
Good thing I'm a bourbon girl.
The house we bought in 2008 was occupied by a chocolate lab. At that point I had only been a herding dog/mixed mutt owner and had no idea about the lab shedding. Despite cleaning the house top to...
I once had someone try to convince me that I had been 'swindled' by Thor's breeder because labradors are supposed to be skinny and tall, and that his blocky head definitely meant he was mixed with...
Both of mine are extremely 'touchy' dogs - they want to be ON me or touching me at all times. And not just touching, they like it if I then pet them as well. Thor especially will nudge my hand if I...
Labs + snow is one of my favorite combinations!
Happy half birthday, Cookie! I love the one of him standing in the snowy creek. Just enjoying being Cookie.
Cookie's smiling face makes MY face smile. Thank you for sharing him with us - he's so lucky to have someone who cares about him as much as you!
I'm in!
Oooh bummer, I haven't checked in a ton lately and missed it. Guess the dog advent calendar I got at Costco (yes I'm one of those dog parents) will have to do! I'm down for a card exchange, though!
A friend of mine who does K9 SAR gave me an extra one she had (when her older dog passed away she went with a smaller breed for her next SAR dog - a kelpie - so passed on the larger harness to me for...
I've thought about this, too. But when I list out what is important to me in a dog, I can't think of another breed that fits as well as a lab. I'd like smaller, in emergency cases I'd love to have an...
