Just love my dogs!

Does anyone know of any in the Blackburn area?

Thank you! Excuse my ignorance - what is KCC? JB KCC Park is the home of Dogs Victoria. IT's great there! Check out the link below: http://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/Content.asp?ID=177

My Dad used to say this when we were young. I don't know if it actually works. Never tried it because it sounds too gross!

Scout = ;) SO cute!

I changed our lounge from cream to charcoal! Cause I couldn't handle the fur. looks like I'm destined to stay with black labs now No matter what I wear, I have fur all over me. With a grey cat, a black lab and a GR, I can't win!

It's funny isn't it! My lab is "softer" than my GR I guess each dog has it's own personality and is different.

I have one of each too ;) Basically my husband wanted a GR and I wanted a lab. We couldn't compromise so we got one of each and now we live in a mad house! Holly is a GR and she is crazy! She's very independent and does her own thing. We got her 7 weeks before our lab and she can be quite jealous of him. She is very affectionate with my husband (enjoys a cuddle) and loves all the attention on her. She isn't food obsessed like my lab (which is strange because so many others say that GR's are obsessed with food too). I've also heard from other GR owners that they can be quite naughty up until they're 3 to 4 years of age :D Jett is my black labrador (my big baby) and he is such a sook He's extremely affectionate and gentle. He doesn't have a bad bone in his body and never shows any aggression towards anyone (including Holly who can be such a bitch to him). Jett's basically my shaddow. He follows me everywhere and hates being left on his own. He also follows Holly around and gets into everything like she does. Basically Holly's the leader and Jett's the follower! Jett is more of a chewer than Holly and he absolutely adores his food. He scoffs it down before Holly has barely started! If I don't watch him, he'll try and eat her food! He also is a drooler! ;) I often get covered in his slobber! eeewww! So that's my two babies. I guess like all dogs, they can have very different personalities :D

Thanks Pam! I'll try her email!

I'm interested in show classes too. I can't seem to get onto Lea Cogley. Do you need to book classes, or can you just show up? Thanks

Ooops double post. Sorry

Golden for sure. I love ours. She's great with kids and very loyal. But like some others have said, they can be very boisterous and naughty when young (just like other breeds).

My husband and I both work full time. We got two dogs 7 weeks apart.

I can't believe your neighbours are complaining about 5 minutes worth of barking that has only been going on for a week! I agree with some of the others. Try and solve this problem the 'friendly way' first. Good luck!

I give my dogs their own marrow bone. They're really good for their teeth :D

I have both my dogs walk next to me on my left side. They both have head halties and I don't allow them to pull.

Lol! I hate waking my dogs up if I have to leave the couch!

Thanks. I'll look into that. Do the dogs need to be sedated to donate? How often can they donate. I know with us we can do it every three months.

Oh no! I hope she can now rest in peace. I was just going to ask.... Does anyone know how you can get involved in donating your dog's blood? Both my dogs are over 30kgs and could be possible donors. If someone was in need I'd like to help as my hubby and I are both blood donors!

Thanks for letting us know! I'll go and get some! My dogs love their polar fleece blankets. There great because they're easy to wash and dry. I think I got my last ones from Spotlight.

OMG Macka, Archie does this too !! Sometimes he stays in that position just watching what's going on around him. Front legs on floor, back legs still up on the couch. Must be a lab trait, Mason does it too, OH finds it hilarious! my GSP does this too HAHA! Can't believe there are others out there! Yes, sometimes he does the reflective pause while his back legs are still up on the couch, surveying the world for a while. It cracks me up! Mason will even carry on watching TV like that for maybe 5 minutes or so at a time? It cannot be very comfy! :p My Lab does this too!

I must be a terrible Mum I HATE walking in the rain! I'll go if it's only spitting, but I can't stand being cold and wet. If it's pouring I won't go, but as others have said, I try and go in between showers. Holly seems to take forever to dry off! As for the dark. I hate that too but still end up going. I wish it wasn't dark when I got home from work! I wish we had day light savings all year round!

Oh cute! :rolleyes:

Now my husband's growling at them!

Hi Haylz27 :rolleyes: Right now my dogs are play fighting in the kitchen!

I Labradors and Golden Retrievers. Both very happy, easy going, friendly dogs. We chose them because they are known to be good family dogs and they are intelligent. Couldn't live without my babies!
