Labrador Retriever Dogs Blog

This past weekend was our annual spring bath our labrador retriever weekend. We bath our dog about once or maybe twice a year. Bathing a labrador retriever too often will destroy their natural oils they have in their fur that help protect them. Bathing too often will only lead to drying out their skin which you don't want to do. I have read many times that people bath their labrador retriever once a month. This is way too often. The only thing I can say is that if they do get into manure or something totally foul smelling then you have no option. Otherwise, once or twice a year is fine. If your labrador is like ours he enjoys swimming all summer long so this helps keep him clean and fresh as well. It in only in the Spring after he has been rolling around in the much and in the fall that we bath him.

I am not sure about you but make sure you clear the track after that bath. I was wishing we had some nice discount furniture around the house after the bath was over. It was butt tucking go wild time. He ran from room to room, off of furniture and basically tore up the house. I guess he liked his bath too.

If you noticed the contest this month is all about butt tucking. Well Cooper unleashed himself last night in the house for reasons above and beyond me. In the after math I wondered if I could home insurance against the damage he causes after a good run. Knocked over tables, chairs, drinks and moved couches are just some of things that get messed when he goes on a tear. It is pretty funny to watch though. If you get a change please check out the contest I know there are going to be some pictures that you love.

I went out last week and treated myself to a new tv. The flat panel kind but I am not planning to have it wall mounted. A wall mounted television just doesn't fit into the way my tv room is set up. Instead it sits on a lower tv stand that I have been using for a few years. The thing that I noticed first off is that it isn't that sturdy and if that dog of mine gets doing one of his butt tucks god only knows what will happen. I will have to find a more permanent place for it. I was looking at one of those tv lifts, they look pretty sturdy and fashionable. Anything to get it out of doggy gone wild range.

I 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.
