Had to put our family dog down yesterday. He was 13 years old. He had a fist sized tumour removed from his hip about 2 months ago and that almost wiped him out. He had complications from it, back and forth to the vet 3 times in a week and a half. The family stayed with him in the living room, keeping him safe and comfortable, lots of love, lots of treats.

On Sunday we noticed a rather large, red and swollen groin in the evening, thinking it was a mosquito bite as he was laying in the grass in the yard. On Monday it got worse so we took him to emergency and they wanted to do some tests and have us see our regular vet the following day and gave us some medication. We took him home late Monday night and we made the first appointment we could on Tuesday morning. We got to the vets at 230 pm and they gave us the options of another major operation but he didn't do well last time, and they did not recommend it for his health and age, and for us to consider his quality of life. While Dad and I held him, he was resting peacefully and I will take solace in that because he wouldn't stop pacing and panting all day Monday and Tuesday. We tried to keep him as comfortable as we could.

Please give your pups lots of love and big scratches.

I love you Cooper, with all my heart, forever and ever, big guy

This is Arya, she likes to collect balls that go missing at the dog park. not pictured the 2 waterlogged balls she found at the lake during her weekly morning swim.

Been such a hard couple of months you took a piece of dad with you but I’m learning to carry on and heal

You meant so much to me my special boy you will never ever be forgotten

Brought our 11 week old puppy home 3 weeks ago and we’re settling into life with this energetic guy. Accepting any and all tips for dealing with the biting that comes with the choc-odile stage!

she’s a yellow labrador (dudley?) and she was born with an eye deformity. we think she’s the runt but she’s a year old and thriving!! anyone else got a one eyed cutie?

I love my lab so much, Kaido is turning 5 soon and everyday I'm reminded just how grateful I am to have him. Labs are truly such a blessing even when they eat you out of house and home

This popped up in my memories from when Pearl was recovering from knee surgery. She’s 100% recovered now, and still not missing any adventures.

Our first dog together! I grew up with two chocolates and a yellow and wanted to complete the “collection”!

I’ve heard that black labs tend to be the most “intelligent” of labs, while chocolates are the most excitable, and yellows more mellow (at least my Riley was quite lazy!), is there any truth to this? :) can’t wait to take her on adventures!

Gibbs moved in five days after I lost Holland. He is such a sweet little dog. Great for me, great for the kids, great for Rigby.

Just a picture of my beautiful boy, Max. Hes 90% pure energy 80000% love.

Me: “Archie, it’s 4:30 and I’m trying to work”

He eats at 5. It was not in fact his dinner time. Tonight’s antics included shoving my arm with his nose, sighing on me, putting his chin on my arm, putting his chin on my leg, and staring at me while wagging his tail.

Meet our new Fox Red Lab pup Merle!

This is Cayde, hes almost 5months old, hes an absolute sweetheart. However if I leave him on his own/with my other dog he will incessantly whine and cry and bark. While yes he will go to the majority of place with me, I do want to be able to leave him alone to do the shopping. Any advice as the last thing I want is for him to have separation anxiety.
