No need for a an electric blanket lol
I'm being ignored right now
We can't let our big boy on the furniture or bed any longer - he takes up as much room (+ a bunch more) as I do !
This is what he looks like if he caught that stingy bug.
Actually his foot is under his lip. Lol.

Always thought I'd end up with a big dog . I'm the guy who's your dogs favorite visitor , but never had a dog . I just "adopted" yours...
People would always ask me why I didn't have my own , even offering quality Lab pups for free . My life for a long time just wasn't conducive to having a dog for the dogs sake . I often said that one day things would change and the right dog would fall into my lap . Kismet type shit .
After 36 years in an industry currently on life support , I got laid off . No more crazy hours , life changed greatly for both better and worse .
My niece heard of a dog living with an abusive family , getting beaten and kicked . She had someone tell them she'd take the dog that day or she'd report them to animal control . They said come get the little asshole .
After she got him she had landlord issues and had to re-home him . Little bastard hated men but I took him . Fast forward 3 years and he's a different dog . Cool as a cucumber , my perfect dog match for this point in my life .
Little dude , big personality . Friggin kismet I tell ya....

Dogs need a purpose. Beer sniffers are trained the same as a drug pup but for beer.
You may be asking where's the beer. Funny story ...

"Kismet" or not, it was kinda meant to be, for the both of you. I had a similar situation, my friends mom had a chocolate Lab, and when she got sick, she couldn't handle him anymore. None of her 5 boys wanted "Hershey" because to Be honest, he was an asshole. He would get into the trash, shred flip-flops, destroy baseball hats, and was just an undisciplined, stubborn mess, and nobody wanted him. Reannie was a wonderful woman, but didn't have the heart to discipline him. I got the call, and said WTF, I'll take him, I couldn't let him go to someone who didn't know him, I had been around him since he was 8 weeks old. So, he was a wreck when I went to pick him up, Reannie was in the hospital, and Hershey would not leave her room, and hadn't eaten in over a week. The 1st 2 days, he got into the trash, & shredded my favorite flip-flops, needless to say, we had a very long heart to heart discussion. Within 10 minutes after we talked, he mowed thru a whole bowl of food, and relaxed for the night. Hershey then went EVERYWHERE with me, and was the best dog one could ask for. He became an Icon at my favorite bar & car shows. He became an "off leash" dog and would not leave my side, unless given permission, he wouldn't do anything until he had permission. Got him when he was 4, and we enjoyed 11 years awesomeness together, and everyone was blown away at the dog he had become after picking him up, even when we visited Reannie, he was on his best behavior. It tore my heart out having to put him to sleep, but it was time, and he and I both knew it. We took a walk, had a very long talk, gave him some of his favorite treats, and a few "special" treats, and off we went. It was the only time in 11 years that he went willingly into the Vets office & didn't growl at the Vet, he understood that he was crossing the Rainbow Bridge to be back at Reannies side.
Sorry for the long rant, but miss my big guy.
Hope you and your "rescue" pup have many many years of enjoyment together!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing to see pups make a turn for the best when they have some structure and someone who "TRULY" loves them when they were not the "best" dogs at first.

Putting them down is the hardest part of having most pups.
My neighbor had a black lab that ran over to our place and played with my 2 dogs. UPS showed up one day and I can still remember the black lab with hair up on the back, fangs out, and lots of growling going on. Labs can be really good property guards. My experience is they usually they just want to carry something in their mouth and hit the water when they get a chance.
This is a pic of Shadow who was really hard to say good-bye to. The veterinarians used to tell us he was fat but it was always amusing to watch them trying to walk him when he saw us in the waiting room after a shot or something. He wasn't tall but about 110 lbs. and the vets usually ran over to see us for some reason :=).

I had the opportunity to be around championship labs. The family dog of my in-laws liked water more than land. We would throw a cinder block into the water and he would dive in to get it. All you would see was a tail wagging above the water then he would come out with a cinder block in his mouth. He loved retrieving rocks and things out of the water so much that it wore his teeth down.
The best dogs are those on deathrow in the shelter. I highly recommend giving a dog a life.
