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:

You’ll always remember and miss them.
Over the last 10 years I let 2 Chocolate Labs off to the Bridge. ( Duke and Rocky)
On June 3, 2016, I brought Hannah, my 14 1/2 yo GSP to the vet for the last time. This is Hannah 2 hours before we left.
BTW. All have been buried on the property with flowers and markers. They will all be forever in my heart as I am sure your baby girl will be.

So sorry for your loss of Jess what a beautiful girl, I understand how you feel I lost my Bramble boy just 2 weeks ago, he had a good long life and was 16 but it didn’t make it easier, a price of my heart definitely went with him xx

It’s only been 2 weeks since I lost my sweet Bramble boy I was with him till the end, he had a good innings at 16 but it didn’t make it any easier, the house feels so empty, he will always have a piece of my heart, best boy in the world I always told him

My Lab Sawyer is 9 1/2 years old.
We got him a new friend, Messi (Golden Doodle) who is now 9 1/2 weeks.
Sawyer is the best teacher, companion, friend we will ever know. One of my biggest regrets is not getting him a friend years ago.
