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:

when we had to let our Oscar go, we had the vet come to our house and we were all with him and held him as he went to sleep. He loved car rides too much even at the end and we couldn’t bear to take him for that last ride.

if any of you are able to, consider having the vet come into your home when the time comes rather than taking your baby for that last car ride,Our Oscar loved the car too much for us to do that to him. <3

My baby Riley. Lost him at 14 in 2015. He was my cuddle buddy. He would wait for me to come home from work late at night. Then once I was in bed I would hear his tags on his chain jingle into my parents room where he would sleep. Haha he would wait to turn in until everyone in the house was in bed. Guard dog until his last night. I’m glad I was with him during his final journey.
