: He's finally here!!
: MustLove Dogs November 10, 2005, 01:01:05 AM
After waiting for 10 looong weeks, our pup is finally here!!!

We got him at the airport, and he was laying in his waste... YUCK!!! Took him out of his crate in the waiting room and he piddled on the floor... told the lady he christened her floor   ;D  He was so cute! He came right over to us and started licking us and playing... he wasn't scared at all!! We brought him home and he scoped at the house, sniffing and trying to chew on EVERYTHING. He was so playful, and would just run around the house. He went to the bathroom soo many times, and chowed down his food! A good eater! We put him in his crate to sleep, and started howling/whinning for about 10 minutes, but then went to sleep.

I'm so happy! And he's so cute... the little pudger  ;D


I'll post pics really soon!

That's terrific - I love labs - Kate actually has a lab playmate (our friends' dog).  He's a chocolate lab too, name is Rudy - awesome dog.  Here's a picture of Rudy & Kate playing when Kate was just 12 weeks old  ;D

ENJOY - we want to see pics!!!

YAY!
Happy new addition!
Labs are GOOFY!
Make sure the windows are up when you drive by any form of water.
Be very sure that you have a change of clothes, and can out swim your dog!
Be very, very sure that you have a toy that your dog can't live without, attach a string, or rope to it, throw it toward your dog and run like the devil is chasing you!
Your dog will think that it's a cool game. And will come to you everytime.
Don't be disturbed when you call your dog, and it looks at you with that expression, "You talkin' to me?"
And finally, monitor their food!
A Lab will eat until it gags, and can't swallow.
A Lab will finish it's food and then look at you like it's starving.
It will look at any guests with that same look.
A Lab is the Master of the FOOD Guilt Trip!
Don't be a Chump!
I Love Labs!

Cooper is cute.  All puppies are.  ;)

How did you pick that name?  Did it just "fit"?  Did Sammy like him?

Sofia
: Re: He's finally here!!
: bigdoglover November 11, 2005, 08:47:20 AM
oh, i love him and what a perfect name you picked for him! i have a 10 year old labbie girl who was so bad as a puppy but matured into the absolute best dog ever and is so sweet. but, she still gets the devil in her even now and she makes me laugh so hard-take lots of pictures and hope you are ready for 2 years of terror from the little devil, but it will be worth it and years later you will smile and laugh about just how bad cooper was as a puppy. just my opinion but labs are the best companion ;D

Yeah, the name just fit... at first we were going to go with Dudley, then when we brought him home we were like "No..." so we picked Cooper... and it fits!

Sammy isn't too fond of him... mostly because Cooper wants to play and Sammy wants to sleep!! But give 'em a couple of days and they should be fine... hopefully  :P

I have a 13 year old lab, and he was a bad puppy also. He didn't calm down till he was 11!! I think labs are AMAZING dogs.

Cooper is being quite a little devil today... goes to eat EVERYTHING... including our hands, pants, and shirts. He grabs a hold of my pants, I tell him to stop and get my pants out of his mouth, and he goes for my finger and starts growling {puppy growling} is this normal? Is there anyway to stop it? Thankfully he's asleep now!!

my girl never growled until now-when we play she terrorizes me with her growl now-she is so funny. i want a puppy now- :o
: Re: He's finally here!!
: MustLove Dogs November 12, 2005, 12:11:42 PM
Hehe... you should get one!!! Cooper's my first pup in 13 years!  :o  ;D

Cooper is so frickin' cute!!!!  Adorable.  I love the puppy growls...Chest er still does it to get Cowboy to play.  Try to keep treats in your pockets and reward immediately for good behavior and try to ignore bad.  I say this like I'm good at it but Chester will still try to climb my back (front paws are already to my shoulders ::)) if he thinks I have treats...so he'll get rewarded if he sits.  It's truly a quandry.  I think maybe he's smarter than I am!!  (okay....I know!!)

I think the very best way to get control is to tire him out; and I know with a Lab that's tough!    ;D
