Loyal Order of Labradors™

Terra was adopted by her LRR family in August, 2008. Terra is a lucky Labbie! She loves to loll about the house and her most favorite place to lounge is on someone’s lap! She is quite the lap dog. Terra adores her feline brother and sisters and showers them with kisses. The humans – both adults and children – in Terra’s family also receive their share of kisses. Terra is healthy and is one loveable girl! (03/13)

IN MEMORY OF DAISY. SHE CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE IN May 2013, AT THE AGE OF 9. Daisy was adopted by her LRR family in May 2010. Daisy pounds her tail on the bed to greet each day. This, of course, wakes her owner and they are off and running to start the day’s adventures. An 8.5-year old yellow Labbie, Daisy stays fit by walking and playing ball. Following a morning walk, she has breakfast, hoping that some food spills so that she gets a little extra. Then Daisy settles on the sofa for a morning nap. She has a trot with her dog walker in the afternoon and is waiting at the door when her owner arrives home from work. Daisy has dinner following a quick walk, and reluctantly allows her owner to eat dinner before they take a longer walk and play ball. Daisy’s owner says “it’s a good life for both of us.” (09/12)

Tucker was adopted by his LRR family in April 2008. Tucker is a Labbie whose skills include nursing and gardening. With his owner recovering from surgery, Tucker is a busy guy. He is constantly at his owner’s side, attending to every need. When his owner is able to garden, Tucker assists by helping himself to cherry tomatoes. Tucker has a number of hobbies when not on duty; he visits doggie friends in the neighborhood, enjoys walks with family friends and neighbors, and loves to visit his human grandparents. Tucker is in good health for an older guy. He takes medication for arthritis and underactive thyroid, but it doesn’t slow him one bit! (07/12)

Doyle was adopted by his LRR family in July 2011. Have you ever seen a 10-year-old puppy? That’s Doyle. He’s in great health and doesn’t show his age at all. An early riser who eats breakfast at 5:30 a.m., Doyle spends his days napping and watching the neighborhood from a window. If there is an opportunity, he might do a little counter surfing. Doyle is quite the traveler, accompanying his owners to their vacation home in upstate New York and visiting the beach in Nags Head. Doyle also enjoys retrieving, watching TV, and helping his owners evaluate other Labbies for placement through LRR. (04/12)

Elway was adopted by his LRR family in November 2007. Elway is a very energetic senior Labbie and he makes his owner laugh every single day. He is still very energetic, despite some hip problems. But that doesn’t stop him from chasing tennis balls, swimming in the creek, or trotting along during his walks. Elway’s day starts early and he gets walks in the morning and before dinner. He recently began eating senior dog food and he loves it! Weekends are for special outings, like swimming or playing fetch. (04/12)

Abby was adopted by her LRR family in March 2007. She has 2 Labby brothers and they all help Dad with his breakfast at 4 a.m. Abby’s work begins when Mom get up at 7. She helps Mom open the hen house and feed the chickens. Abby’s next job is to chase squirrels, chipmunks and field mice from the yard; her world has plenty of animals! Mom works from home and Abby keeps her company, while making sure that the rest of the pack behaves. In the evening, everyone watches TV, eats popcorn, and takes long walks. Weekends are special for Abby, because that’s when her best friend, a beagle, comes to visit. They chase each other, her brothers, and neighborhood critters until they drop with exhaustion! (02/12)

Toby was adopted by her LRR family in August 2006. He moves a little slower these days, but still loves to chase tennis balls and romp in the yard. His day starts with breakfast and playtime outside with his doggie siblings, Cody and Eva. He greets everyone who walks by on the trail next to his yard. When his human siblings are ready for school, he gets a few more minutes in the yard. After goodbye kisses, Toby climbs into his lounger, where he naps and watches squirrels. Every Wednesday, Toby goes to doggie daycare for a day of playing with doggie friends. At night, Toby naps on one of the many dog beds scattered throughout the house. Even all those dog beds don’t stop him from trying to sneak into bed with Mom and Dad! (01/12)

Macy was adopted by her LRR family in February 2009. Her day revolves around her family. She awakens early, along with her owner and Labbie sister, Amber. After a trip outside that includes chasing away birds and squirrels, Macy eats breakfast, then helps her human brothers and sister prepare for school. They give her a quick walk outside before departing. When the family returns from school and work, Macy eagerly greets them with much happy barking. Then it is outside for a run. After dinner, Macy loves just being with her family. She might remove the stuffing from a chew toy and sometimes sneaks into her human sister’s bedroom to “borrow” a stuffed critter or 2. (01/12)

Champ was adopted by his LRR family in 2005; he is now 7 years old, but don’t tell! He thinks he’s a puppy and acts like one! Adopted at 18 months, Champ has been the reigning champion at his house for 6 years. In excellent health, he looks forward to breakfast every morning. Champ then plays, naps, plays, and has a snack or two. He greets his owners at the door every day with a big smile. Evenings are spent with the family. After such an active day, Champ looks forward to an early bedtime. On weekends, though, Champ is the family alarm clock. He wakes his owners in time for breakfast by putting his cold nose on a face!

IN MEMORY OF REESE. SHE CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE IN MARCH 2013, AT THE AGE OF 11. Reese was adopted by her LRR family in October 2003. She’s a little slower and stiffer, but Reese can still chase the bunnies, squirrels and deer out of her yard. The critters think she is a fierce Labbie, but she really is a sweet girl who loves belly rubs and cuddles. Her day begins when she awakens in her human brother’s bed. She patrols the house to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary happened overnight. After breakfast, she retires to the sofa, where she sunbathes and naps. In between snoozes, she checks out the house again, fits in yard patrol (gotta get those rabbits and squirrels!) and reminds her humans that she needs snacks. (08/11)

Jasmine, adopted by her LRR family in 2011, is a very talented Labbie. When company comes for dinner, she knows that they are really there to see her and she excels in her role as hostess. She enjoys hosting other dogs and is good at running errands. Her day starts at 7 – she’s just not a morning person! While Mom is at work, Jasmine plays with her many toys ( a kong and squirrel buddy are favorites), naps, and keeps an eye on the neighborhood. Only her white face gives away the fact that she is old enough to be a LOL Labbie! (08/11)

Kaela was adopted by her LRR family in 2010. Which bed shall it be? Kaela asks herself that question several times a day. After waking early in her king size “human” bed, she has breakfast and takes a walk with Labbie sister Abby and a human sister. Once Kaela gets everyone ready for school and work, she decides which bed to nap on first. The couch, perhaps? Or human sister’s bed? She alternates sleeping – on different beds, of course – with protecting the house from invading bunnies and squirrels until the family arrives home. After a romp in the yard, followed by dinner and a leisurely walk, it’s time to go back to that king-sized bed again! (08/11)

Maggie was adopted by her LRR family in 2006. Happy, healthy Maggie can keep up with her 2 year old LRR brother with no trouble at all. She’s an early riser, usually up before 5 a.m. After a walk, she and her brother help Mom get ready for work, then have breakfast. Maggie’s favorite days are “school days,” when she goes to school. Her entire backside wiggles with glee when she spots her blue school bag. Maggie is standing at the door when Mom returns from work. If Mom comes home early, the first sound she hears is Maggie jumping off the bed! (08/11)

IN MEMORY OF DIESEL, WHO CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE IN NOVEMBER 2011, AT AGE 10. Diesel, adopted by his LRR family in 2004, is a healthy, active Labbie who loves to run, retrieve and swim. He has mild allergies and a bit of separation anxiety, and is prone to ear infections. Diesel starts every day by waking his master and mistress at dawn. Why? This early bird wants breakfast, then a romp around the yard. While the humans get ready for work, Diesel reclines on their bed. Next is a nap, then barking at dogwalkers who pass by his house. Diesel enjoys a game of ball or a walk before dinner, then he spends the evening snoozing in a favorite chair while his mistress does homework. At night, Diesel snoozes just outside the bedroom door so that he is ready to wake everyone up at breakfast time! (07/11)

Sam, adopted by his LRR family in 2009, is a busy guy. From his 5 a.m. breakfast through spending evenings with his family, Sam is a happy and healthy Labbie who loves life! He plays ball, goes for walks, chases squirrels away from the bird feeder, chews on bones and antlers, naps, and watches TV with his family’s teenager. And that’s just during the week. On the weekends, Sam also goes for rides in the car, entertains company, lounges on the deck, and takes a dip in the kiddie pool. He loves his nylabones, carrying them around like a cigar. His stuffed toys are his bedtime companions and he uses them for pillows. (06/11)
