My Bad. :oops: That's what I get for not reading your link first.
Our friends Sammys are both free feeders, so they often have food down. Before we got Cooper, Tilly was a free feeder, but we can't leave food...
Our vet tried to get Xrays of Cooper's shoulder without sedation, but she would not hold still enough. They actually had a hard time even giving...
We often see advice to introduce new dog food slowly, so that the dogs get used to it, but our experience is that it makes no difference at all....
Not a very descriptive subject line I know, but here is the background. Our house is about 40' off the sidewalk, and there are no windows that a...
I use a Plastic bucket with a tight lid in the back yard. It has a tough plastic bag liner. I pick up poo with a rake/scoop combo and dump it...
All of our Labs seem to recognize other gun dogs. Labs were breed to get along with other dogs, especially other retrievers so it is not...
I hope your pup is getting healthy. I wouldn't think the weight was that low for 8 weeks. Cooper was only 2.5 kg at 7 weeks. Tilly was about...
I think the discovery phase is so much fun. A couple of my friends have Sammys, and the breeder would not sell the pups until they were at...

I just read an article in our paper that said Labs propensity to be overweight may be genetic. That a large number of Labs have a gene variation...
Tilly was spayed at about 6 months (would not do it so early again). We were supposed to keep her calm, but the first thing she did was run into...
Our first Lab Ginger would not jump off anything to get into water. Even a partly submerged dock. She wanted to walk in. She would get half...
Our first Lab, Ginger would eat pretty much what ever she could. She was a 4 year old rescue. We started her out as a free feeder, and quickly...
Our first Lab, Ginger, had a canine tooth that apparently died, and turned black, but it did not seem to bother her at all. The vet said just...
Studded Tee Posts and wire mesh fencing are pretty inexpensive, and can be taken down and reused. We have put up temporary fences with this...
All of our labs have been very good water dogs, so I have no concerns about that. They all retrieve balls, etc from the water. Cooper was a...
Ive never thought the expensive dog beds would last longer than the cheap ones. If a pup decided to chew one up, nothing would really deter...
[ATTACH] Here are Tilly and Cooper, on Cooper's first canoe trip. Just a mile or so on a warm day, and a very flat river. The water was not...
We have used Heartgard for years with Tilly and now also with Cooper. We do have them tested annually also. Heartworm is not common in the...
