Labrador Retriever Dogs Blog

March Break is fastly approaching and I am just sending out a reminder to make sure if you are going away to take your furry friends into consideration. If you are booking a New York City hotel or a condo down south you want to make sure if they take pets or not. You can check with a friend or family member to see if they can do some doggy watching while you are away or even look into a boarding kennel.

If you are travelling with your dog or pet make sure you pack everything you need. Make a quick checklist and make sure you take food, water, blankets for warmth, chew toys for the trip and of course lots of snacks and pet treats.

Personally I think it's cruel and inhumane punishement but some people love to do it. A coworker had a new yellow labrador retriever puppy and she loves to dress the little guy up. She does it througout all of the holidays for some reason. He has a halloween costume, some Christmas clothes and even a little tuxedo for formal affairs. Although I am not sure how many black tie formal affairs a labrador retriever puppy has to go to. He does look cute but I could never get mine to wear anything. He would have things torn up and destroyed in a matter of mintues.

You have to watch this video, you will never see anything cute. A puppy whistling along with its owner. I thnk it's a great you tube video. Enjoy!

What is your labrador retrievers favourite room in the house? In our house it might be sneaking into a bedroom and climbing into bed but I would have to say it's the bathroom. He loves to get into bathroom and try to sneak into the bathtub or shower if he can. I don't know if he is part fish or not and is attracted to the shiny shower faucets or if it's the lure of the water. I think it's the water. We have to be careful or otherwise he would be in the tub every chance he gets. Lately we have had to keep he door closed when we are in there having a bath or shower. Maybe he is getting cabin fever for spring and can't wait for a swim. I would love to see some labrador retriever photos of your lab sneaking into the tub if you have them.

Have you noticed how many things around the house you go through with having a 90 lb labrador retriever living with you? I would hate to take stock of all of the things that we have had to replace and otherwise would not have had to if our furry friend wasn't living with us. There are the obvious things like chewed shoes and socks but other things like area rugs and towels and even parts of drywall.

The wear and tear of a labrador retriever is quite normal. Don't worry if you think your house is being turned upside down by your labrador retriever. It's normal for all of us owners. It was worse when he was a puppy and now that Cooper is getting older things are back to normal. Once your dog gets through the crazy puppy stages all will be back to normal.
