I’m on on my third labrador. All of mine have been female. Great dogs-sweet, playful, intelligent and very social. My current lab is a master at sensing emotions. If I’m angry or anxious, she will cuddle with me or become very affectionate. I’m not ashamed to admit I bawled when my last lab passed, and I’ll probably cry like a baby when this one goes.
Dog’s are truly man’s best friend. I’ve always said one of the cruelest things in life is to own a dag that possessed only a fraction of our own life span.
That’s why us old people love our small lapdogs. We grow old together..................
It's been over a year since our much beloved Corgi died. I didn't cry immediately; but, I was doing something in the kitchen, and his dishes were still there; but, empty. I turned and glanced down to the empty food and water dish and completely lost it. I cried for at least 20 mins straight.
I think I mourned the loss of that little guy more than any other dog I had ever owned. He was more than 13 years with us and the sweetest temperment I had ever had with any dog. I still miss him, just not quite so intensely as when he first died.
