That is the happiest, happy lab dance ever! Cutie patootie! They really love their daddies, don't they?

Hey, there! I am so, so sorry to hear you're on the soft poop rollercoaster (the dreaded SPRC!). I wanted to chime in because we are on our second lab with chronic soft poop and while we never...
I am so glad Ram made it through surgery with flying colors! He certainly looks awesome post-op! Ellie sends her sloppy puppy love and hopes that his recovery at home is easy and that the next four...
First off, I love that new photo of Oliver! He has Ellie's concerned brow!
It's only anecdotal, but in our experience with a big time gulper, the raised bowls seemed to cut down on regurgitation....
I swear, Ellie must be related to Sunshine. She does this same exact thing! She has to investigate absolutely everything, which means she is often in my personal space. I used to fight it and give...
Yay, Rosie!!! What a great idea!!! That sounds like such a positive experience all the way around!
I hope Cooking has continued to improve with physical therapy and your wonderful love and attention! We had a girl with a pinched lumbar nerve and it just takes a long time for the inflammation to...
I have to agree with everyone. Our last lab had multiple surgeries but never showed any interest in her incisions, so we just put her in shirts to keep her wounds clean. We put the comfy cone on at...
In response to what Sue wrote above, I totally agree. I would recommend finding a new vet. When we first got Ellie, aka: The Belly Monster, we tried out a local vet who, upon meeting Ellie said,...
Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions! We actually have some floating marine rope (what a great idea), so I could easily make a lead for when we go to the ocean. I don't think she's ready for...
We're right there with you. Ellie jumped into the Bay a couple of times when she was at the shoreline with other dogs, but didn't swim, just a quick dunk and out. We took her to Jim's Aunt's house...
Quick Update:
Ellie has been doing better the last few days and I have been successful in being more calm with her. No more off leash during our hikes, which helps me feel less frustrated with her...
I also really recommend finding if anyone in your area hosts Puppy Socials. These are free form, monitored play sessions, usually an hour long, with other puppies. We had a furious land shark (my...
First off, I wanted to give you a big thumbs up for even talking about depression. It's a hellacious life crusher, making even the simplest things that everyone seems to do without blinking an eye...
It's really true, puppies are so curious about the fun going on without them if you make a big show of it. That was the best way to get Ellie's attention when she was little. By 5 months, she was...
Isn't snuggle time THE best?!? "I LURVE YOU, MOMMY!!!!!"
Holy Moly, is so, so handsome! And what a gorgeous pair he and Sophie are together. Thank you for posting the timeline photos. They grow so, so fast!
Cookie!!! What a beautiful champ! 16 miles of fun, fun, fun! Seriously, your photos are just gorgeous!
That gorgeous face!!! Ellie would like to run through the neighborhood with Molly, toilet papering all the houses and knocking over mailboxes.
She is so, so beautiful! And still looks so much like a sweet, fluffy puppy ball!
Hey, Barefoot is right up the road from me! What a great idea! There should be an entire section for "Help! My Puppy Is A Monster!" which could be threads dedicated solely to adolescent puppy...
Maybe Ellie and Molly can be incarcerated together! Ellie is happiest with a friend by her side. They could wear matching orange jumpsuits. And then we can go have a spa day!
We're going to try them tonight with both oat flour and potato flour. I'll let you know how they turn out!
I'm a little late to this, but I wanted to recommend the Yeti coolers for traveling with raw foods. They are crazy durable, lockable, and the most effective insulators I have ever used in my life. ...
Oh, yeah, I hear you! Ellie had that shrill, ear piecing puppy bark, which she used to great and effective effect when in her crate (earplugs are my friend). Just recently, she has begun to bark in...
