Hi guys! :laughdog::hi: Firstly a big thank you to our mod team, for the smooth running this year of our little forum. :inlove::hug: Just to let you know I have busy behind the scenes clearing out cobwebs, sweeping, and goodness the state of the cupboards!! :shock: I have created a new donate...

This really made me laugh! :heart: :heart: href=""></a><p>I haven&#039;t laughed this hard in a long time. There&#039;s another dog cooking show on TikTok where dogs actually collect all the ingredients and help out and don&#039;t eat any of it until the end. This is definitely not that. 😂😂😂

We said goodnight to the most gentle, wonderful soul on Sunday. He was 15 years old and one day. Our hearts are quite simply broken. Casper was a free spirit, and we loved him for it, even though at times his idea of "free spirit" got him into trouble. Not with us though. I will never forget...

This is a difficult post to write, but I think it is important to consider the "how" and "when" question. :hug: Visited our local vet with Casper, to discuss his overall quality of life, and to draw up an end of life plan. It felt difficult, but actually, good to not just accept his condition...

Just thought it would be a good idea to clarify how the forum works in terms of protecting your privacy, useful as well for new members. The moderating team work hard to ensure that our little forum is a safe space, without intrusive adverts or algorithms tracking online behaviour. Newly...

So due to a desperate influx of young dogs and puppies... we have a little boy arriving in a few hours as an emergency foster. I have already named hims "Woody" ...he is the sweetest chocolate labrador boy and related to Teasel. His mum has been taken into care, and little Woody was scooped up...

Benson: Who is going to make the announcement? River: Memememememememeeeee! she shouts waving all four paws in the air then promptly falls over... Bramble: River you are stoopid... it should be Casper... Casper: Coughs...and looks solemnly at nothing in particular... Otter: Looks...

Having a bit of fun with River yesterday, using catnip scented tennis balls! I am currently writing a blog to include the "how to..." alongside the video. River absolutely loves it!

....and joins a group of clients and their dogs. This is the first time Teasel has been out with other dogs apart from the gang here. She met new people and her new found confidence and resilience shone through! A simply wonderful morning! We popped the applications for her on hold as she had a...

Dear Teasel Weasel, or Sweet Pea is now up for adoption. I am not feeling particularly great about it. Teasel was a last minute.. really last minute foster. For 24 hours only. Well that was nearly 3 months ago. She fits in so well with the gang, but she is so sensitive, and very bonded with...

Forum Funding We are coming to that time every couple of years, where we need to ask for support for us to continue to run the forum. As you know MyLabradorFriends is entirely non-profit making and run by volunteers. But our forum funds are running rather low, and although we have secured a...

So not one foster but two! :rofl: :rofl: Last minute plea from Black Retriever X, they had a very shut down chocolate labrador bitch desperately needing a quiet foster home. This was on the Tuesday. Nutmeg was due on the Thursday night. Wednesday night... oh.. could you manage another...

We are just going though a bit of an update to the forum. 👩‍💻:tail: What does this mean? There is a possibility that the forum may be off-line for a day or two, unfortunately this is beyond our control. To keep in touch we do have a facebook group where we can keep you apprised of any...

Working now on teeny tiny pieces of Kong hidden in walls...Fascinating to watch! I am not really worried on duration of indication as she is still young. It is very clear that she has found the scent item! Oh...one for @snowbunny perhaps?? :rofl: :rofl:

So we have lost Benson's cat today...very sad house

Out working with Bramble. Lovely day and great company! Freezing to start with a frost. The day was grey, the air still with little wind. Bramble loved it! She picked 2 birds very well, one dropped in deep cover, so a bit tricky. Despite missing last season, and working a handful of days the...

So with a sore head and shoulder ( think spinning top and face plant..) I am resting today. :rofl: I have 5 snoring dogs and a roaring fire, and taking time to catch up on a couple of my favourite doggy people and their blogs, perfect! Right now, on my sofa and with my dogs, we are in...

River is almost fully grown, not quite so I have not done much training with her, mostly working on our connection. The odd retrieve perhaps to get a feel for her ability and drive. She has a brilliant nose, is very strong and fast with much more drive than Bramble. I had a feeling that her hand...

I have been super busy recently ( hence my absence of late..) but ... cue drumroll! I am almost there with my hybrid adolescent course which starts next Thursday. This is a combination of group classes linking with online training modules. I am just testing the courses right now so not quite up...

Wow! On the hunt for a collar for River, she hasn't actually got one of her own. Spotted these... love them! My first thought was... I wonder if @SwampDonkey has seen these??? B) Cool Collar
