Well I thought I would put a little up date on here as today Andrew and I collected our lovely new dog Sam, a three year old golden lab who seems to love everyone! He has been so friendly with everyone we have met so far including children and other dogs. He's not barked once at anyone and has loved splashing around in muddy puddles, not so much the bath after though!! He does like to jump up a lot though so that is something we will have to try and stop as Andrew has already been covered in mud a couple of times!
The battle of wills has begun come dinner time as we have rapidly discovered he was obviously only ever been fed human food. He is overweight and will need lots of excercise and healthy eating to get him back on track. We were surprised when he turned his nose up at doggy treats as our last lab ate anything he could! But when Andrew's mum opened up the cakes and Sam managed to jump up and knock one out her hand we realised what he had obviously been used to!
So...when dinner time came and the bakers complete did not get touched and our dinners were stared at longingly we realised there is going to be some work needed. He still has yet to touch his dinner and is constantly hassling us in the hope we will give in and feed him some human food.
Hopefully he will soon realise dog food is a better option to going hungry!!
Other than that he is perfect and we are very happy with him! He is very boistress and has ruled the roost for the first few years of his life but he is so cute and cuddly you soon forgive him when he nudges you out the way!
Will try and update again soon!
Thanks Lab Rescue!
Liz and Andrew
