You can say any foolish thing to a dog,

and the dog will give you a look that says,

'Wow, you're right! I never would have thought of that!'

When God made Labrador Retrievers he was showing off.

Lola by cheryl

Labradors [are] lousy watchdogs.

They usually bark when there is a stranger about,

but it is an expression of unmitigated joy

at the chance to meet somebody new, not a warning.

My house is never clean.

It is always a bit crazy.

But I love them!

And I love how they love me.

Oh look!!! I have not heard any of those quotes!! Oh my gosh, the showing off quote is perfect.

I love your house of labs!!

I think all Emma's must be beautiful.
Ginny is gonna look like your Emma.

Very sweet, my sentiments exactly with totally lovable mush of a gentle giant, Teddy (golden retriever).
They truly are the most wonderful unconditional friends we could ask for!
Hope you are well Cheryl:)

Oh, this makes me miss my dogs. Both were lab mixes and good buddies to have around the house. A bit of a handful at times, but we loved them. Great quotes - so very true!

Adorable . . . what would we do without our pets. Aren't they amazing how well they know us:O)

Love this post...coming here today was an excellent way to start my morning! That first quote is so true...and that last photo of your three in front of a roaring fire...makes me wish I had one.

I would take those 3 loves over a clean house any day.
Nope, on second thought I can just come to your house and meet those loves. I would gladly help clean....to sit by that fire.

*** I... LOVED... THIS!!!! Your bebies are SOOOOO CUTE, ESPECIALLY in that pic of the three of them at the end!!! And YOU spoke the way I/WE do about our two GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS! (They live to hunt for "Daddy", and get LOVES from "Mom", and I can't even IMAGINE life without them!!! And happily, I do believe THEY feel the same way!!!)...

Every Vet we've ever had has said "When I die, I want to come back as Linda's dog!!!". Yes, they're given LOTSA LOVE n' HUGS n' RESPECT... and individual PLAY & HUG TIME, besides THEIR regular playtime!!!

Utterly delightful!

MANY THANKS,
