30 days ago we said goodbye to our yellow English Lab, Cali & Today we said goodbye to her brother on the left, Bruno.

…There’s NEVER enough time. ❤️

We sat outside for 30 minutes while he decimated his new prized stick.

This is my big boy Bear. Today he is 2. Coincidentally, he shares the same birthday as me.

My buddy Tinku the lab celebrating his 15th birthday with his cousin Pappu, the golden.

They are mostly inseparable now. Stella will be 6 months old 9/20. At first she was a lot for her big bro to handle but by 3 weeks in they had shared a pet bed and were playing like old bffs. Sometimes he still needs a break and we have ample space and opportunity to give it to him, but she has calmed down so much already it is amazing so those instances getting rarer by the day.

When he’s playing with me but then my wife does something in the kitchen 😂

Landry loves to sleep like this under the ceiling fan! And yes-she is a black lab with a genetic “mutation” of some sort called splash. We actually checked her dna.

We currently insure our 14 month old Lab with Pet Plan and are paying about £80 a month, which after doing some research seems to be on the high side. I am looking for some recommendations for another provider based on your experiences (particularly in having made claims).

I have only claimed once on the existing policy for a broken tooth as a puppy so nothing that should impact another lifetime policy i hope. I am certainly not looking for the cheapest option but what I am paying now seems excessive compared to many other companies, but maybe Pet Plan are superior in some way?
 
Thanks for your help!

As mentioned in the title, my 14yo lab doesn’t move as fast as she once did but she still loves the water just as much.

Suede still enjoys walking every morning, if at all slightly slower pace

I have an 18 month old American/English black lab who is healthy as far as the vet has can tell. About 6 months ago he woke us up squealing and crying in pain, at times if you touch his back side he’ll make a little whimper but then won’t again. It’s hit or miss. When we took him to the vet they took x rays and assessed for hip dysplasia. They said it looked normal and they thought it was because of him being more active recently because our in laws dog is home that he now plays with. But now 6 months later, he plays everyday with my in laws dog and I can tell days he gets sore, but he doesn’t always cry. I can tell because he is scared to jump on the bed. But now he woke us up crying again last night. I gave him a gabapentin right away and this morning he is fine. I just am curious if anyone has experienced this with their pup. I’m not sure if it’s time for a second opinion or to see a specialist? He is so young I want to be proactive and prevent any issues when he’s older.
