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:

Love these 20 things. The last one is the saddest. Dexter is my 4th lab, he is a chocolate one. Before him I had 3 yellow ones, all gorgeous but left us too soon. Dexter is 7 now and I’m already worrying about his final years. Hopefully he’ll enjoy a very long life.

I’ve been with all my dogs at the end over the years. My chocolate lab, Bosco, is now eight years old. He still acts like a puppy and still healthy. Hopefully for a long while he will be with me.

My sweet Molly is almost ten. She’s been a diabetic for two years. She’s doing well, but I pray for the wisdom and grace to know when it’s “time”. We love her to bits!
