Keeping Your Labrador Retriever Safe

If you remember from a few blog posts ago I mentioned that Cooper was sleeping on the bathroom floor more often. This got me thinking the other day when I dropped one of our acne treatments on the floor. You have to make sure that all of those areas that your labrador retriever puppy has access to is free of harmful items that they may get into. Be mindful of closing doors, keeping cupboards closed and store your items out of their reach. You would be suprised how much damage something as simple as dental floss can do.

Labrador Retriever Dog Toys

There is such a wide variety of dog toys available on the market today it can be a little overwhelming trying to decide what to buy. There is such a choice it reminds me of when my other half and I were out shopping for unique baby gifts. There are a couple of things that you want to keep in mind when searching for the perfect toy. Labrador retriever dogs are pretty aggressive chewers so always look for a toy that is made out of durable material. Some toys you will buy have a rating system based on chewing. Always look for the highest rating especially if you labrador retriever is big chewer like mine. Otherwise, the toy will be gone in a day or even a couple of hours. Finally, have a look to see if there are small parts or pieces that can come off the toy like eyes or buttons. If your labrador retriever is anything like mine he is going to swallow those parts and that is not always a good thing. The more "one-piece" the toy the better.

The Butt Tucking Fool

But TuckingI am sure you have all seen the butt tuck. It's when your labrador retriever dog gets running a thousand miles an hour around the house or backyard with their but tucked underneath them. I just wanted to let you know that it isn't a puppy thing. My chocolate labrador retriever is seven years old and just had a great butt tucking incident only a few minutes ago. There's nothing like a 90 lb beast running full tilt around the basement and banging off the walls. The casualties this time were nothing major he knocked over a small table that holds my cable modem and wireless router, thankfully nothing was broke. At least he is laying down now and looks a little tired.

Getting in Shape with My Labrador Retriever

Summer is on in full effect and I have been trying to look for ways to get my self in better shape and maybe lose a few pounds along the way. I have been reading a lot on the internet about different ways to shed extra weight. I have been reading workout plans, weight lifting plans and even a Leptovox review. There is so much information out there it's hard to know where to begin.

For now I am going to start enjoying longer walks with my labrador retriever. He can't wait until we get home from work every day to go for his daily walk. It probably wouldn't hurt the both of us to extend our walk a little. As you know, I tired labrador retriever is a good labrador retriever.
