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 Jade did the same thing with her tail. She wagged it once and then went. I think she was trying to tell me it was OK and she was ready. Maybe Sam was doing the same. It’s hard not to feel guilty though :'(

I love my babies. My first lab lived until she was 14. She died peacefully in my garage my kids and I were with her the whole time. My 2nd lab lived until he was 12. He died the same way. I now have a 3yr old lab and getting a new one next week..
