No need to ask "who's a good dog? here!

I know how hard it can be... We lost our nearly 15-year-old lab mutt ten years ago, right before our first child was born. She had been our pal for all those years, and even continued to backpack with us the summer before she passed. I never knew it would be that hard to lose her.

The assumption was she detected a change in my breathing pattern. None of our current dogs have done this, although I've also had a much lower number of these events in recent years.

Thanks for sharing the story!

recent example, i have a chicken that had an infected foot that was being kept in the house. every time the dog sniffs that chicken, it is that foot that he is sniffing. mostly healed now, but he still checks her out to make sure.
any time i have a wound of any kind, he checks it out, even when covered by clothes.

Our old lab mutt would do that to me, even through my shoes. Lesson learned: Make sure the footwear kept me from getting blisters.

Bless his trainers.

Great example. Thank you for posting this.

I hope the parents figured out why the monitoring machine did not work.

He can be in the basement, tv on, door closed, and hear the hard dog food hit the dish. He'll paw at the door until I let him in to eat.

He is supposed to be my husband's dog, but he loves me the most. It's obvious.

Any packet that sounds like Temptations.

They sit near the Temps drawer to urge me to open it if they haven't gotten their quota for the day. It's very funny...

Will walk over to me if I'm seated, and stick his nose under my upper knee of my crossed legs to try and force me to uncross them and get up! He's applying to MIT, mechanical engineering school.

Labs are my favorite kind of person!
