Obnoxious Black Lab, 2 years old !

[AZgarden]

OMG ! My daughter just sent me a photo of ANOTHER black lab puppy that showed up on their front door step at 1 AM. He is a cutey with white chest and paws. She says they will keep him unless they can find the owner. I don't know how hard they intend to look. LOL But now there are TWO of them. I suggested they take them both to a training class before I get there on Christmas.

Wow. Two four-legged hooligans unless both are trained. Maybe the owner of the cute pup will turn up. Your daughter certainly has an instinct to be kind to dogs; but she has an obligation to report the dog to the local police and animal control; he might be someone's beloved pet who got out or got lost.

Yes, I agree but she has no intention of doing that at all. For an adult, she has the emotional IQ of a child. She did take her car and go out to see if anyone put signs up in the neighborhood, but that's all. I'm looking online to see if there are any "lost puppy" posts in their area. Hopefully, someone will already own this dog.

The color of a lab does not matter. It doesn't define their personality.

But if you were a tennis ball how would you feel about them?

Take a "taste of people". Do you think they are trying to determine if they want to eat you?

They don't wag their tails to be aggressive toward someone. They wag them because they are HAPPY!!

Labs are wonderful dogs as long as they are trained. Yes they are a pain as puppies but once trained they are the best!! The one I have now calmed down by 9 months. I did put a lot of work into training but now I get to enjoy the benefits. She is a wonderful companion.
