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:

We just lost our 16 year old English Lab one week ago. We were with him 24/7 since he was 1 year old as we were retired. Still crying over him. He will always be in our hearts and we will meet again.

I will never forge the day I had to say goodbye to my Choc Lab Cheyanne! I lay on the floor holding her in my arms. She was grunting as she always did when she was content. Then it stopped…:(

Our Bo and Maize are the center of our world. Yes I have grown kids and yes I have grandchildren, but they have their own lives that include us when possible. These guys include us ALWAYS. Love them to the moon and back, and yes, never want to think about number 20!

I did cry at #20. I’m so glad I stayed right by my Lab’s side when he passed on. I held his paw so he wouldn’t be afraid. Love and miss you Blazer. You were a good ole’ boy.

#20 is definitely a tear jerker. I’m grateful for the 13 years I had with my Cooper. He passed away a month ago. I held his head and said my goodbye as he closed his eyes one last time.
