Yes the breeder was embarrassed because he came from a long line of champion hunting dogs and couldn’t handle loud noises. Offered to take him back to get a proper hunting dog but was already to in love to careI have trained many. It sucks when something out of you control ruins it.
@GoodKarma19, youre a good person! Let us ramble on n stuff.Yep! The enclosure's hanging out inthe yard, waiting for me to get my butt in gear haha!
I made the mistake of getting the yellow extra expanding stuff, and I don't want to waste it. And I'm super anal retentive regarding wierd things, like uniform base coats. I know I'll end up super twitchy if there are any bubbles/gaps I can see from the outside, even if it was the black Great Stuff! Blacking it out with the rubber would be less upsetting to my aesthetics, haha! I'm an odd duck.
No worries!
The black great stuff is actually hard to find. So fair only amazon had itYep! The enclosure's hanging out inthe yard, waiting for me to get my butt in gear haha!

I found it at Ace Hardware in California. Not sure if that helps unless youre here.
Plus, I was sleeping until pretty recently. If I had been awake, I'm sure I would have jumped in with random anecdotes haha! I grew up with a silly old black lab, and have lots of stories from work. Imho, out of all of the labs chocolates seem to be the most variable in temperament. They seem to vary wildly between mostly chill and even tempered to absolutely crazy, anxious spazzes that are afraid of their own shadows haha! We've seen a lot of them in at the clinic for TPLOs (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, an orthopedic knee surgery), and it's always a game of "what kind of choc lab do we have today?" 
Youre not wrong about the labs! Are the overweight like most of the labs I see state side? You will definitely want 3-4 cans. 1 wasnt much at all.I'm prone to rambling with little provocation, myself!
In other news, Lily's looking pretty haggard. If I hadn't been rushing outthe door, I would have taken a picture - she has great big chunks of shed hanging from each of her feet, as if she had stepped in toilet paper, and it looks her her face exploded. Poor little lady, haha!
I have since tracked down some of the black Great Stuff, both the "pond" and "multipurpose" formulations (Home Hardware, Home Depot, and Rona carried them, though Home Depot had the pond formulation with the pond stuff). I'll probably swap to the black stuff after I use up the cans I already have... I may very well need more than 3 or 4 by the time I'm satisfied!
My male lab was a hot mess like his owner (me) lol our female lab laid back and chill like her owner (my dad).I'm prone to rambling with little provocation, myself!

Our female was a fatty male nice a lean but he never stayed still
I'd say at least 60% of what we see is considerably overweight. The prognosis for knee surgery in large breed, fat dogs isn't nearly as good, either... we often have to enroll them in weight loss programs first! It's really such a shame when people let their animals get to that point. I'm constantly having to adjust my feeding schedules (often seasonally) so my birds don't put on too much extra weight!My male lab was a hot mess like his owner (me) lol our female lab laid back and chill like her owner (my dad).
I was wondering if miss lily started to peel

There were scraps of shed everywhere, but she still has a ways to go. I was trying NOT to directly spray her, but she went right in the stream. 
She's not at all a fan of my phone!

Pretty pretty prettyAlmost finished shedding! Just a couple bits and pieces left. Lily was pretty unimpressed while I was giving her enclosure a quick wipe! I'll have to get some clearer pics in better lighting... her new skin is practically glowing!

My weak little phone camera just doesn't do her justice! She has these lovely little lilac spots on her cheeks and sides, and some red speckles on her tail and extremities. I just adore her!!
