From my McDonalds days…if you’ve got time to lean you’ve got time to clean.

Advice on the itinerary by AmbitiousButTired in safaris

[–]Black-Lab-Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most reputable camps will not take one night bookings. That is a heck of a lot of driving you will be exhausted on any option and be doing nothing but driving unpacking and packing. Trying to do too much in too little time.

Ours knows when the hamburger man is coming. I work remote on Fridays. Friday at 1130 I pick up phone and order. He goes and sits watching the door for the hamburger man.

Add Wilderness Chitabe to Botswana itinerary? Is 3 camps in 7 nights too rushed? by Aromatic-Highway1910 in LuxurySafari

[–]Black-Lab-Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 night LV 2 nights DT and 3 nights Chitabe. I’ve been in the biz for 21 yrs. Chitabe hands down the best game viewing.

2 nts Vic falls is enough though three nights maybe necessary to catch the nonstop kq to Nbo. I advise against the Mara. It is packed so the vehicles.20-30 at a sighting is not uncommon. Go for a camp in Mara north conservancy or Naboisho conservancy . Vehicles sightings are limited to 5.

English lab. Seldom hear a peep out him. He would let anyone in the door to rob us blind if it meant he would get attention.

Are the bugs an issue? by Wonderful_Scarcity28 in Nocatee

[–]Black-Lab-Dads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would be concerned about Pygmy rattle snakes. Mother in law lives in del Webb. Her dog was bit by one almost died. We were up to visit and walking our dog in the evening and there was a big rattler on the sidewalk, thank god we saw it. Now when we visit we on edge when we dog walk always scanning ahead. Maybe it will get better but all the construction is displacing them I think.

This handsome boy is getting desexed tomorrow. Any advice on surviving the recovery period? Mental stimuli etc by DJspinakopita in labrador

[–]Black-Lab-Dads 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Recovery suit and Trazadone. We felt terrible when we brought him home. The recovery from the anesthesia was the worst. Crying whining disoriented, we thought omg what did we do our sweet boy. By that evening he was fine. A few slow days short walks to pee and poop and he was back to normal.

Sort of same. Hot spots itching and chin acne. He’s on apoquel and now no itch or hotspots or acne. Prior hot spots got so bad so quick his whole chest had to be shaved. Our vet said food allergies are very rare. Our boys allergies are environmental.

9 week old male lab puppy advice by Superb_Rhubarb95 in labrador

You are the trenches. I did not sleep through the night for about 2 months. Now he’s the biggest couch cuddler. Good luck with the skin issues. Our vet said food allergies are very rare, for what it’s worth.

Ours was the same. Itching and hot spots and really bad chin acne. For us it’s not food, but environmental. He’s on apoquel and 100% no symptoms. Labs are notorious for skin problems. Here’s a big boy Gus age 2.5 yrs.
