I am so sorry that you're losing your sweet Lab girl, but glad that you and your siblings are going to be able to spend this weekend with her. Big (((HUGS))) to you all.

I think you've gotten some great ideas on what to pack, but I wanted to second/third/whatever the warning about the diarrhea or throwing up from drinking too much salt water. We just went through...
I don't get it. But when I was in high school, my parents got an Akita who was show quality except that he only had one descended testicle. My parents were approached about having an implant put in...
That would drive me batty. In fact, it DOES drive me batty. There are two Chihuahuas that live across the street from us. At least once a day, those dogs are left out in the house's (gated) front...
LOL! Love it!
I've felt the same way lots of times, wondering how people give their dogs so much exercise, and where they get both the time and energy. :) Our previous Labs didn't get nearly the exercise that...
No advice, except to keep your eyes out. But lots of sympathy coming your way!
This made me chuckle. Tucker's tell for pooping was that he'd start circling 4-5 times and then squat. The first time, we thought it was funny, until he went on an area rug. After that, we knew when...
Yeah! It took our Molly and Mia a good number of months until they could co-exist "normally" when we first got Mia. They eventually got there, and for a couple of great years, they kept us...
Thanks, Tanya. That's great information!
@Labradorks and @Tanya, you're absolutely right that Tucker should be getting more exercise each day. Granted, on the weekends we take him on 4-6 mile walk/hikes on local trails (usually followed by...
That sounds like such a wonderful day! No clue on the backpack, but I'll be keeping an eye out for some suggestions, as I think we'll want to get one for Tucker too. :)
Oh, I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I've joked that we should have named Tucker Dyson or Hoover, for all that he sucks up while we're on walks. Thankfully, he isn't interested in poop. But EVERYTHING else is fair game - sticks, dirt,...
Aw, I'm sorry that Watson is hurting... We heard the same 50% number when we did Molly's TPLO on her left leg when she was 4 years old. Around 2 or 3 years later, she started acting like her right...
No, you are definitely not alone. Tucker doesn't growl at us when we catch him with something he shouldn't have or be doing, but he does try to play keep away. (I think that's where the suggestion of...
Happy_blackbird, you post had me laughing. I could just picture Stella slinking away from her handiwork. Oy! You're absolutely right in your three tips. We haven't tried Bitter Apple, but when we're...
I don't think truer words have ever been spoken. LOL!
Seriously, thank you for the advice, everyone. There are some great suggestions here. I know it's all about consistency and training (and...
First of all... SEVEN? Sorry, but that gave me a good (and much needed) chuckle. ;)
Fill me in... What's the vinegar trick? I know we need to nip it in the bud, I'm just not sure exactly how,...
Our last Lab, Molly, was obviously an anomaly. She never chewed on ANYTHING she wasn't supposed to. At 6 months old, she had run of the house when we weren't home and we NEVER had a problem with her....
OMG... That's horrible. I hope she has a quick recovery.
What a great picture!
When I took Tucker out after lunch today, who should be walking by our house, but Sammy the Sheepdog puppy, who we met a few weeks ago at the local dog park! They sniffed each other for a few...
Ugh... That stinks. Hopefully you'll come across them when the snow melts.
But I have to admit, the toilet paper comments has me curious. Off to search for that one! :)
Puppy Mama brag... We've been taking Tucker to puppy classes, and he's passed his STAR puppy test. Yeah! He's always nuts when we're there, though, and my husband doesn't generally walk him much...
