Labrador Retriever Dogs Blog

I was googling around tonight as I do most nights and I ran across on old story about weight loss supplements for dogs. While I guess there might be situations where this could help your dog who has extreme medical issues I don't think you have to go to such extremes.

Winter is here and today was -31 for most of the day. Pretty hard to get out and get your dog some proper exercise. If you have a  yard you can at least let your dog out for small periods of time so he or she can burn off some steam. Be very careful though their paws can very cold and very quickly. They will know enough to come in from the cold. You can also take some extra time for "play time" in the house. Play with your rope toys or other toys like a good game of fetch in the basement or other open areas. Just make sure you are giving them a bit of activity regarless of the weather outside.

The other day Cooper came running by the coffee table and tv stand with his tail a wagging and knocked over a glass of water. Luckily nothing was ruined but it was a reminder to us that even when you labrador retriever gets older you still have to be careful with what you leaving laying around and in their reach. The chat board seen quite a few new members over the holidays with new puppies and questions about their puppies chewing and getting into things. There are lots of articles here and an entire forum set up to help you out.

A little belated but I wanted to wish all of the blog readers a happy new year. We have been busy at home over the holidays and I haven't had much time to update things as I would have liked. We had some minor home renovations on the go,visting and family and friends as well as other things like finding some reasonable auto insurance as our just ran out.

Cooper is good and enjoyed Christmas and some of his doggy toys that he got from Santa. I have a few pictures but have yet to take them off of the camera I will make sure that I post them when I can. If anybody needs anything or help make sure to leave a comment or some feedback. As of late they have all been from spammers promoting their sites. I would like to hear from you.
