You might be a Lab Owner if…
1. You have rust rings on your kitchen counters from putting the trashcans
up there.
2. You regularly clean out 50 tennis balls from under the couch.
3. You have a plastic kiddy wading pool in your backyard.
4. You regularly find big paw prints on your kitchen counters.
5. Every squeaky and fleece toy are missing their squeakers and stuffing.
6. You have broken or mangled at least one finger (or torn a rotator
cuff) on a leash walk when your Labby spotted "prey" he wanted to chase.
7. You have to buy a bigger bed to accommodate the new lab.
8. You buy an SUV to take your lab and his Labby friends for frequent
trips to the lake/river/ocean.
9. Your backyard looks similar to an archaeological dig, complete with
the dinosaur bones.
10. You wait till the last minute to get dressed for work to avoid your
lab's muddy paw prints, drool and fur (or you put on an old overcoat to
stay clean as you say good-bye).
11. Your yard is full of brightly colored Frisbee pieces.
12. You buy underwear more often than the average person to replace
what your Labby has eaten.
13. Your children NEVER have dirty mouths and faces.
14. Your end tables are really crates covered with couch throws.
15. You never have to mop your kitchen floor because your Labbies clean
up every spill and crumb before you can get to it.
16. Your car is covered with sheets, lab fur, lab drool, and there is
often a distinct aroma of "wet Labby" that those car air fresheners can't
disguise!
17. Your alarm clock is a firm nudge by a wet Labby nose (who wants to
eat first and go out later!)
18. You have a child proof lock on your fridge because not only can
your Lab open it, but takes the best leftovers for himself!
19. You have permanent bruises on your legs at exactly the height of
your lab's tail!
20. Your husband and you sit on the floor to watch TV because one Lab
is sprawled out full length on the couch, and one Lab is sitting in the recliner!
21. You put all of your shoes, remote controls, hats, gloves and
anything else small in closets or on shelves to hide them from "Jaws!"
22. It is a cold January day, and you have the sunroof to your car open
so your Lab can stick his head out through the roof to catch the air!
23. At least one load of laundry a week is your lab's: his blankets,
pillow cases, towels, and of course, all those muddy, drooled on fleece toys
he loves so much!
24. Your Christmas tree had an "ornament-free wag zone."
25. Your labs do the pre-wash cycle, instead of the dishwasher, saving
on your electric bill.
26. The couch you placed in front of your living room window can't
accommodate the human household members, because the lab has commandeered it for keeping updated on outside activities.
27. No matter how hard you try, you can't paint without fur
