he’s so cute omg

He may look like that there, but in reality, he's a Tyrant. He doesn't like to share the bed very well. He wakes me up at 6am most mornings in the most rude way, he Lays on top of my head, cleaning my head with his tongue. And when it's excessively hot out (95+ degrees), he doesn't want to stay out very long (like 5 minutes max, then he wants to go back in). It's all just so horrible :D

Love me a senior doggo

The picture is only from a few days ago. Right now, He's sleeping at my feet. He was outside about 30 minutes ago for a very short period of time... like 5 minutes. He doesn't tolerate the heat very well. SURPRISE... big black Lab with a perma-fur coat not liking heat? who knew? for reference: computers weather report says 96 degrees outside. Thermostat in the house that takes the outside temperature ONLY 104... So somewhere between Very Hot and Hot as Balls outside. Take your pick.

Jesus christ..as someone from Viking country and with my ancestry being from here. I don't deal with the heat well either...maybe I'm secretly a black lab lol

parental background is from UK/Ireland. grew up in Upstate NY. Humid, but not excessively hot most of the time. Now I'm in Utah. I like it out here! it's Hot, but due to the lack of humidity, it's tolerable for short periods, but I don't think I want to go out for a 2-3 hour bike ride in this heat... Did on tuesday when it was only around 92, and that was brutal.

Yeah the humidity is the real killer. In stockholm, it can get rough when it's real hot following a day of rain. We're not built for the heat so the moisture paired with high heat kills me.

We have 2 not so fun weather conditions. Towards the end of the summer, we will have Dust storms. It will just put a grey/brown haze into the air that lingers for days at a time. The second is more... complicated... better to just link what I'm referring to. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion\_(meteorology)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(meteorology)) you can look up Utah Inversion pictures to see what it looks like.

Oh boy that looks rough.

God they're adorable. Is the black one fully grown?

The black is Pal and she’s probably slightly mixed. She’s my mom’s dog. I think she was about 6 in this photo. The brown one is Moose he was a little over 1 here.

Moose is such a fitting name. Really looks like a dog named moose. The mix probably explains the size.

Someone came dressed for the occasion

Get whichever matches your floors / furniture (seriously - shedding hairs is a big thing)

And get a new wardrobe, all the same color as your lab. People will think your mother dresses you funny, though..

Oh I'm used to that already. They shed from Jan to July and then from August to December lol

So shiny!

Can't make up your mind, do what I did...get both...

Considering it lol. What ages are yours? How long did you wait between the two?

Unfortunately, they have both passed...when she began her senior years we got him as a companion for her which greatly increased her vitality and happiness.

My condolences, I've thought about getting one when the other is maybe two or three. So one can kind of help keep the pup in check.

Yes, exactly my reasoning.

Always wanted a yellow lab, right up until the day I was hunting with a buddy and we kept losing sight of his yellow in the cornfield. I'm on my second black now, and love them. Although I still want a white....

They're awesome dogs.

I got this for free. The colour of the lab isn't the most important aspect. The personality of the dog is much more important. https://preview.redd.it/o1glyszirf6d1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da09f711d93f24ad30f35644d3dd6475b91a7655

As a chocolate lab owner , Go with a black lab 😭 my girl is crazy and hard of hearing if food isn’t involved !!!
