Mambo meet a new friend at the dog park the other day. He was a young yellow lab. Same age as Mambo. But so much bigger. He was already 95 pounds. It was pretty funny to watch he and Mambo played forever. Neither wanted anything to do with the other dogs. They have the same personalities. Both goofy as can be. Played the same way when playing bitey face.

Funny thing was when the owner was ready to leave. Her puppy wasn't. She was a small lady. Maybe weighed as much as the dog. So she puts his leash on and he runs off over to Mambo and lays down. She than gets him again and he breaks loose to go back to mambo. She than had him on the leash, but he wasn't giving up. He tossed his weight around and she wasn't able to get him up. He did not want to leave Mambo at all. She says he never plays like that and he must really like Mambo. Finally I make mambo go towards the gate and he followed. She was able to take him out the park. And of course Mambo is at the gate whining. It was so funny. Everyone there was laughing at these two.

Does your lab have a best friend?

Cute. Hope Mambo has more play time w/his new pal.

Zoe has several "best" friends. Lady, Anela, Haley, Tasha, Happy & Joy...all labs.

Hey get her number and you two could work out a puppysitting exchange!

Aidan's best buddy is Emma and hers is Aidan. They are exactly one year apart and very close. When Emma was at the vet being spayed he pined for her. And my DH said when we were at the Potomac, Emma missed him something terrible. It is so fun to see how cute they are together and you got to experience that with Mambo and his Yellow buddy.
We want pics next time!

Cute story.

Theo's best friend in the whole world is Saba the Lab/border-collie mix. They played together every day from 3 months to about 18 months, and then we cruelly moved him across the country. Saba and her mom came to visit last year and they picked up as though no time at all had gone by. It was so cute.

They made out for hours.

And Theo was devastated when Saba had to leave.

Aww poor Theo. A true friend is hard to come by.

How great is that? Mambo has a friend.

Nathan - how could you be so cruel to Theo

Bailey had a best friend who is a boxer - Ely (he's a rescue purebred). He's only 4 months younger than Bailey & they love to play together. When we go on walks together, however, they are so well behaved (until we stop!!).
I tell Bailey it's her boyfriend.

Elias has a lot of doggie friends he see's on a consistant basis.
Jersey is probably his BEST friend. They are only 2 months apart
Here they are at their first meeting. Elias was about 4 months old and Jersey was 2 months.

Here they are last summer sharing a bumper.
