I've had labs and lab crosses all my adult life. My two current guys are both rescue dogs. One's half Chocolate Lab and half Weimaraner (a Weimador) and the other, younger one is half Black Lab and half Pit (a Pitador), who was supposed to be a Daneador, but came out a Pitador. All have been great, silly dogs. I'm certainly glad to see Lizie got back OK.

half Black Lab and half Pit You chould have named that one Carling because it's a Black Labul. :)

Black labWhenever I hear this phrase, I immediately think of George Washington Carver's research area.

She deserves a nice warm bed beside the fire every night.

Hew camed with the name Ulysses. I don’t want to confuse him by changing his name, but, if I did, I’d name him “Rocky.”

If she were mine, she’d be on the bed every night, trying to push me out of it.
To: libstripper
The typical night here is me sporadically dosing in the chair, one dog snoozing on the couch, and the other one on my bed.

A good story - thanks for some good news that has nothing to do with the election. Dogs rule!

My daughter and son-in-law have a black lab named Sadie. She goes duck hunting and loves to swim. Wonderful good girl.

I had a black lab retriever growing up. When she was 3 y.o. I was body surfing in the ocean and was pulled out by a rip current. I figured I could swim in but after 20 mins I was hundreds of feet offshore and exhausted. I was waving and yelling but no one noticed and I was disappearing behind the waves often. I figured 'that was it' for me. But then I noticed my dog had stopped chasing frisbees on the beach and was eyeing me intently from the shoreline. I was too tired to even wave to her. After about 10 seconds of staring at me she bounded into the water and swam directly out to me. She made a U-turn in front of me and I grabbed her tail. I was so tired I had to rest my head under water before even being able to lift it up for a breath. She chugged and huffed, pulling me like some caninne tugboat, all the way in to shallow water until I could sit down and rest. After a bit I was able to get up and walked in.
We were buds after that. She'd never done anything like that before and never did for the rest of her days. Best dog I ever had.

Way to go Lizzy !!!.....
My own, almost unbelievable story was the disappearance of my then 11 yr. old, 20 lb., poodle mix....Sam.
He disappeared one night, & we spent days searching our somewhat woodsy neighborhood, & posting many signs.
TWO weeks, to the day, I heard a slight whimper....there on my front porch was a filthy, matted, 10 LB. Sam.....a front paw still entangled in his collar.
Our best guess has been that he spent these TWO weeks, trapped somewhere along a small creek that runs near us, since he obviously had to have had access to water, ( & his first choice was food).
Sam is now about 14 yrs. old, spoiled more than ever.....living out his ‘golden years’.

You’ve got that right! We had a chocolate lab (named Fudgie) who loved to play and could take whatever we dished out. I used to joke that, if we hit her in the head with a shovel, she’d just say, “That was great, let’s do it again!”

Dogs in general can revert to a feral state quite easily.

What a great story. The one thing I love the most about FR is when an animal story gets posted and reading everyone’s comments about their pets or their expierinces with animals. The best dog I ever had was names Snoopy. Half beagle and half Pitbull. He would lift the gate latch evry morning at 11am when he knew that I was in PE Class and I “had” to take him home. Sometimes I would catch him running around a store when I went shopping. I knew he got in because I would hear the people yelling. Jeez I miss that dog.

According to some of the people who post here you and I should be ostracized because we have dogs who are part pit.

Here? I don’t worry about it. I live in Miami-Dade County, FL where they are banned!
