Last night we had to put our Labrador Daisy down. She was 14 1/2 years old and had suffered a stroke that had paralyzed her larynx. Surgery was an option but they were hesitant about operating on such an old dog.

Looking through our remaining family photos (We lost a lot in the flooding that happened in our state a year ago April) we found the ones from when she had a litter of pups. This is going to be a picture heavy thread! I do not have a scanner so I took pictures of the pictures with my phone. Sorry about the less than perfect quality.

Her mate was a yellow lab.


First - here is the birthing box we had built for her in what used to be our dining room.

Escaping the puppy box now...mama Daisy gets no relief!

Being weaned - Daisy had to wear clothes to give her a rest from their growing teeth!

Feeding time! We had to use cookie sheets due to the amount of mouths we were feeding!

Thank you for remembering Daisy with me - She was an amazing dog.
Sweetest temperament, a wonderful mama to her pups and a great friend to me since I was 10 years old.

aaw shucks...what a great old Dame Daisy was. Dogs are the best people. Nothing cooler than a house full of puppies.

May she be remembered long past her days :)
 
Yes, I agree with Molch. Dogs are wonderful, although a few humans are dog-like in their loyalness.
 
Thank you guys - She was a treasure in our family
