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:

I agree! Marley and me is absolutely the worst but I’ve seen it several times now even though I know I’m going to bawl my eyes out.

So true. My Lab is 7 and he goes just about everywhere with me. He brings so much joy to my life and I try not to think too far ahead because there will be a huge hole in my heart when he is no longer with me. I’ve had many dogs in my life but Oscar is truly special. My special needs son also has a deep connection to him.

My mom had to put her Duncan down last year. Was hard for her, but harder for me. He was such a good boy.

Omg Tabatha. So beautiful. I cried with the last one. Still so raw for all of you. And one of the dogs looked like your sandy. My Zoe has come a little better. Permanently on pain meds. Vet said she is coping at moment. But said hips are stuffed. Off death row for now. It will destroy me. But like you I won’t let her suffer. It’s just too cruel. Hope you have your new baby puppy.
