Sucks to hear about Lulu. Looking forward to following along about the possible new pup and the training

Sounds like a perfect scenario for some consistent training. Time and space are two huge limiting factors for retriever training, and it looks like you'd have that licked.
Sucks Lulu didn't take but it's not the end of the world. There'll be other chances. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any solid fox red dogs. If Betty is like her mom she'll have a good chance at throwing fox red. My problem is the bitch just refuses to go in heat. Too much hunting I guess... Has her cycle all mixed up.
Yup, keep an eye out for me to please. I’m thinking spring time, but a fox red English would be hard to pass up right now.
Made me look and just look at this guy. Not many dogs have this look as a pup...

Big Chuck, big food bill, big poop pile.
We dig little wieners whom eats 120# annually.

Yea, Chuck is gonna be a brute! Perfect shop dog.
Same look tanner had as a pup! Great big rug with a face you can’t help but pet. Looks so sad
Lady called me back. Chuck is gone, but they plan to have another litter in the spring. I put in my order for a red male, or first dibs.
Yesterday was Sully's 9th birthday. A week before that was my wife's Yorkie's 8th birthday. Both were at the vet on Thursday. Katie had some teeth cleaned, &some pulled. She had a tumor cut out. Sully's snout on left side is swollen & he has an abcessed tooth. When it rains, it pours. Ugggh.

Jaden woke me up at 3:22 this morning in anticipation of his stocking. He’s been whining for hours....

Some of you guys witnessed Lulu do this at Strouds. I busted her stashing a bone out back the other day. This morning I gave her a leftover sausage link and she ran around the yard for 5 minutes exploring hiding spots. She eventually cached it at the base of the tree. She scoops and tamps with her snout and is really good at covering her tracks. I barely noticed the bone and wouldn't have if I'd not seen her bury it. Never had a dog do this before, so it's funny to see. Straight up farm dog!

Thought Hank was out of the woods. Yet, he has had several accidents in the house. He doesn't pee in the house so I know something is up. Yesterday my daughter called. Said he was panting really bad, stood up, started peeing. That's it. Called vet again. She took a pee sample. Elevated white blood cells and some elevation in red. No blood or crystals in it. She is thinking it may be a urinary tract infection. I hope it is. If not, then it could be enlarged prostate. . . .or tumor. Neither sound good. Neither is a cheap fix either. I think she said getting him snipped is prostate fix although that sounds too little too late at 10yrs old. I don't know. She is the vet. Not me. If the antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs don't fix him it is x-ray or ultrasound time. We are up to $561. Hope we are done spending money, but he's my boy. You all know how that goes or you wouldn't be reading this thread.
It’s a fine line we walk with our 4 legged friends, we all know they have a shelf life and hope we never get to the end of it. Hopefully Hank is a quick and easy fix, if not hopefully he has a humane ending....
I know this is off subject a little bit, but it’s a damn shame some of the shit we make people live with. Should be able to put them down like our loved pets. When enough is enough and quality of life is gone...it’s the right thing to do.
Anyways, good luck Hank!
