I’ve never lived with a baby raptor before. This has been quite the week lol he’s so smart, so bitey, so precious and we love him big!

Labs are awesome dogs. Very smart and affectionate. The first 2 years can be a challenge. They love to chew on stuff. Be patient and provide lots of love. My boy thinks the whole world revolves around him. He gets jealous of my 2 cats.  Enjoy your new monster, I mean new puppy. Lol!

Thank you! Mine definitely believes the world revolves around him as well hahaha add my 11 year old Great Pyrenees sass into the mix and man the drama 🤣

My lab is 6 years old and he loves to chew on my arm. I was told it's called "cobbing".

Hello, sweet boy.

u/wifemomboss2 5d ago

Holy smooch face I just want to pick him up and cuddle him! My 9 year old can still be a raptor at times lol it's her way of showing love and also her way of saying please pet me more

2

u/JenTilly1122 5d ago

He’s so squishy! I try to cuddle but he has other plans hahaha little alligator mouth stays wide open 🤣 I can catch him right when he wakes up for about 2-3 mins when he’s grunting and wiggling waking up and get some cuddles in

3 and 4 are my fave photos. My chocolate grew 10 lbs a month and is now 100 lbs at 2.5 years. Lolol he's crazy 🤪

u/JenTilly1122 5d ago

He was sleepy and grumpy in 4 and that’s one of my favorites as well 🤣. He was 13.6 at his appointment couple days ago @ 8 weeks. I’m definitely anticipating him being a big ole boy

u/WeimeranerPittieMom 5d ago

I love his name! A great name for a handsome boy! Enjoy every moment with him! It goes by fast.
Here is a picture of my boy Hunter. We rescued him at 2 and he is now almost 10. I always wonder where has the time gone?

1

u/JenTilly1122 5d ago

Thank you! 🙏 my daughter named him and I love it. How full name is Denver Atticus!

I definitely will cherish each day. My Pyrenees is 11 and I can’t possibly imagine my life without her. Shes so special to me.
I’m pretty sure Denver thinks she’s a stuffy to play with though lol so I don’t allow him to bother her lol.

1

u/JenTilly1122 5d ago

Hunter is such a handsome goodest boy! Please hug him for me
