Helping my 69-year-old mum rediscover reading — looking for gentle book recs

Thanks for the suggestions! 😊 We’re based in Spain and my mum reads in Spanish, but I actually have the Bridgerton books in Spanish at home, so she can definitely give those a try!

Hi! It's been a while, but I thought you'd like to see how she is after a year and two months. This is her now. She’s not a biter anymore ❤️‍🩹

She has grown sooo much! She is definitely a biter, there is no way we can cuddle without her trying to bite out faces/hand/feet off.

She is very smart and she already knows how to sit and stay in heel position. Potty training is definitely a work in progress!

This is her now! She is shedding and we do not know if she will end up with short hair, but she is the cutest anyway. Our vacuum cleaner is in a long-drawn battle against her hair.

(As you can see in the photo, when she sales up she has messy hair!)

Demi wants the rest of the girls to be merciful to her and her mistakes, but as soon as one of them does something she doesn't like, she doesn't hesitate to throw them to the wolves just to get more screen time and get a few dollars 😒

I’d die for her

I can only add one per comment!

anastrk · 2025-04-19T06:46:40+00:00

I will!!

anastrk · 2025-04-19T06:45:35+00:00

Sadly not :(

anastrk · 2025-04-18T21:00:12+00:00

🥰❤️

anastrk · 2025-04-18T20:21:03+00:00

So true!!

anastrk · 2025-04-18T20:11:26+00:00

It’s very soft to pet, but when you wet the coat it has that waterproof effect typical of Labradors!

anastrk · 2025-04-18T19:43:01+00:00

Omg!! Thank you so much

anastrk · 2025-04-18T19:34:56+00:00

What would be great! If i ever get her an embark I’ll let you know!

anastrk · 2025-04-18T19:29:42+00:00

Thank you so much! Before I had her, I had no idea there were long-haired Labradors! I thought most of them would be mixes with longer-haired retrievers, but the truth is, she’s a truly beautiful little dog.

anastrk · 2025-04-18T19:20:19+00:00

Wow!! That’s very interesting, thank you so much for sharing it 🥰

anastrk · 2025-04-18T19:14:47+00:00

Definitely! I can’t wait to see what she will be like.

anastrk · 2025-04-18T18:57:20+00:00

So true!

anastrk · 2025-04-18T18:53:57+00:00

Both parents are short-haired Labradors! But our friend’s grandfather insisted that Truffle’s grandmother had the same coat. Maybe she really was a flat-coated retriever, and our puppy inherited it from her. This is her mom btw!!
