So very sorry for your lose but he had a very good life with a very caring person.

15 yrs is exceptional for the breed, I have not been so lucky, my longest lab made it just barely to 14 with the next one to 13 and my last male lab to 8 1/2, he had cancer and in 2 wks it was over. When they turn their nose to roast beef, there is something really wrong.

After waiting 6 months after the last one left and telling myself no more dogs, I cracked when I was scrolling the lab breeders site and saw an absolute knockdown gorgeous female lab. Sorry, I fell in love again and told my wife lets go look at a lab this wkend. She came home with us and is now 3 1/2 yrs old.

Take sometime to remember the good days and the bad ones and someday in your future another one will wag its tail and you will melt and he or she will be the lucky owner of a new human that will love them forever.
