I wouldn't say the bond was immediate.
The boys are still working it out. Reign is still young enough to enjoy a playmate and generally is nice to Raj. Raj is not always nice to him, as puppies are basically cute little demons with sharp fangs. Raj will toddle up to Reign while he's sleeping and simply chomp down on his tail. It's crazy. I think they are growing to like each other more each day though.
Cheers,
Daos
Please welcome my newest family member!
This past Tuesday, my long-awaited new family member arrived! Here is my little devil sleeping soundly and snoring away. He is an 8-week old chocolate Labrador Retriever. Many of you have followed my adventures with my yellow Labrador, Reign, who makes re...
Super cute!
What a look in his eyes! Hug him for me, please. I swear, no holes in his neck. Best, Vlad.
I wish you could be here to cuddle him!
Thanks! Raj is soooo soft! His adult hair has not grown in yet so he's soft as a fine chenille sweater. He is very fat and likes to cuddle. I think maybe he is the perfect dog for you, Vlad, because he seems to have an eeeevil streak! Daos
Good to know. But my Cocker won't be very happy.
She's so jealous! All the best to you 3. Nicolas.
Thanks, George!
I've learned through the years that puppies have to be cute in order to survive, because they can drive you crazy! Daos
I have been cuddling him frequently!
It's especially fun to see him cuddle with Reign. Cheers, Daos
Congratulations, Daos. He is one handsome boy! Looking forward
to walks with Reign and Raj. Best Carol
Yes, in a few weeks...
...I hope to do a post with the two of them. Raj needs all his shots first! Cheers, Daos
Congratulations
Raj looks very cute. Enjoy the childhood because they grow up quickly. Andrew
I'm trying to take lots of pictures to document...
...the all too fleeting moments of puppyhood. Right now the boys are running around the living room playing tug of war with this poor sheep toy. I fear the toy is not long for this world the way they are going at it! Cheers, Daos
No way! Two dogs is the MAX!
I cannot imagine how people have the time for more than two while still holding down a regular job and having some semblance of a life! Plus, the dog hair from two Labs is insane! I should start figuring out how to knit the hair into mittens or something ...
I use the Furminator occasionally...
...but don't want to strip out too much hair. I worry that the Furminator may damage Reign's nice double coat if used too often. Every other day or so I use a Zoom Groom on Reign to get off the loose hairs. Cheers, Daos
Congrats Daos.
Reign seems to be accepting the newest family member well. Hope all will be on the same schedule soon. JerryW
Thanks, Jerry!
Raj is pretty feisty, so Reign and he still have moments of Mad Max type action to find out who is top dog. It's pretty comical considering Raj weighs 14 lbs. and Reign weighs 80 lbs. Of course, I supervise pretty closely to make sure nobody is truly gett...
Congratulations to new family member Daos
Very cute and what dreamy eyes.Did Reign bond immediately ? My 17 year old cat died over a year ago and we have a new kitten ( now no longer a kitten at 1 year old ).Our male border collie/kelpie cross merely tolerates the male cat at best. Cheers,dreamer

LOL!
I cannot even imagine four Labs in my house or my yard! Maybe if I had a shrink ray and could make them 10 lb. Labs! Daos
He looks so innocent ...
... now the question is: Will he remain so ? Nice catch Daos ... i'm not a dog-fan but he really looks amazing, hope Reign does accept him as a full fledged member of the Boon-family Bim
Like so many things...
...looks are deceiving. He has already shown an "evil-esque" side (to use one of our dear Vlad's terms). Yes, hopefully Reign will come to love him in time and we are successful at crate training/potty training. Cheers, Daos
Very amiable pics, Daos!
And I had already assumed you´d recieved a new watch ! Congratulations, anaesdoc
:-) I should've noted in the subject line that...
...my new family member was of the non-horological variety! Cheers, Daos
your toy boy looks really cute :)
i'm very tempted to get another dog when i move and i'm very tempted to get a Lab or golden retriever. the breed will have to be slightly less mad than my German Shorthaired Pointers were. i think they'll make great friends for each other and extra specia...
I'm sure...
...you'd have a great time with a dog. I would say young Labs are pretty high energy, but perhaps less driven or high intensity versus the German Shorthair. A well-bred adult Lab from ages 3 and up should be a mellow, versatile companion. Cheers, Daos...
Adorable Pup :-)
They are a handsome pair, love the chocolate color, thank you for sharing the sweet pictures S
A lot of folks seem to be fans of the chocolate.
During the early years of the breed, black was the favored color. Cheers, Daos
Beautiful new Addition
and a Beautiful Couple. they seem to be getting along pretty Well :0)) Cheers
Thanks, Tony!
Yes, Reign's been a great role model. Raj will totally push Reign's buttons though and sometimes he gets a smackdown from his big brother. All part of learning his place in the pack. Cheers, Daos
Congratulations - they both look very "chilled"
Chocolate labs are just irresistible!
Reign has been a good role model so far.
Raj basically imitates everything Reign does! Cheers, Daos
Congrats on the new addition
Now all you need is a kitty to whip the dogs into shape and show them who really runs the house : )
Howdy, that's great news!!
And congrats to you, and probably more Reign, for adopting Raj. I am a dog lover too, but I can't have one now for logistical reasons. But there is a chance I can become a part owner...yes...part owner, in the sense that a good friend of mine has taken a ...
Dogs can bring a huge amount...
...of joy to a household, but they definitely are a lot of work. I think dog ownership is more of a lifestyle than anything else. I hope you enjoy co-owning a dog. Cheers, Daos
So cute, makes me want to give a. Little brother or sister pug to Lili!
It looks so great and looks like they are getting along! My Lili has to take the cat as a pillow, not having another choice! Thanks for posting, Daos, I always melt when I see pets. Cheers. Luc
No doubt...
...Lili would love a little friend. She is young enough to really enjoy a playmate! Hope you are well! Cheers, Daos
You need an avocado tree, Daos . . .
. . . dogs just love them! And, I know where you can find a sapling ;-) . . .
I would love to have an avocado tree...
...and wonder if I'll live to see it bear fruit in 20 years! The one thing I worry about is the pits. They seem like a canine choking hazard! Daos
Kawaii!! Congrats Daos!
Huge apologies I am guilty for not checking out the TimeOut forum often enough! Your Labradors are super adorable!!! Great family! I wish I have a dog too but it's difficult with a new born on his way. One day!!
Thanks, Sidney!
Congratulations on your expanding family! I'll look forward to seeing photos of your new "puppy." LOL! Cheers, Daos
