One of the best dogs for children of all ages, Labrador Retrievers are kindly, good-natured, and take most things in stride.
Most Labrador Retrievers are very friendly with everyone, though compared to Golden Retrievers, many Labs are just a bit more conservative with their affections.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Labrador Retrievers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Lab owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Labrador owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Labrador Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

My rescue boy, Loki, has been with us for 8 years and is now about 11 and losing his vision. It’s tougher on us than I think it is on him, as he’s been adjusting well in mapping out the house and yard. A few bumps with his head on stuff, but he just grunts and presses on… it’ll be hard to say goodbye to him (he’s our second Lab), but we do know that we’ve had a great life with him, and have plenty of memories.

I lived #20 just a week ago when I lost my best friend Cosmo who lived 14 and a half years. He was a beautiful chocolate lab who didn’t have a mean bone in his body. Even though it was extremely hard I’m glad that I was there to comfort him.

I lost this beautiful boy William almost 2 years ago. I have run the gamut of all of these. I miss him more now than the day he passed. He was the best dog in the world. Labs rule!!!
