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:

Yes I know the feeling I lost my Chloe at 13 she was a beautiful girl , she was a big lab mix,but she was a most wonderful
Companion , she used to love
Chasing walnuts or balls . Oh
She was a wonderful friend for us. Loved her dearly. Many walks
We had . She developed cancer,
Boo hoo? Still think of her.

These are true for any dog not just labs or for any animal in that case.
But being there for them on their final journey is probably the most in Porten
