Lab Question!

Recommended Posts

I have had a few labs over the years. We got a chocolate that will be 2 in January. My question is, he loves to lay like this, and my wife swears up and down that it is not good for his hips. He has done it since he was a pup. Do any of you really see any issues with this. It must be comfortable to him. I don't remember any of our other dogs laying like this.

Nope, My chocolate Duncan will do it from time to time, I think he is just showing off how limber he is... I might have ya beat for weird positions, Duncan spends a lot of time sitting on the couch with his head on the floor on top of his front paws and the rest of him hanging down the front of the couch with his rear end firmly on the couch. It is like he can't make up his mind if he wants the floor or the couch so he takes up space on both. I would not worry and besides there is not really to much you can do about it.. Good looking dog.

Don't worry ice....it'll all be okay!LOL We had one lady who would stand with back feet on floor and front shoulders and head on bed and SLEEP like that for a while.

My Silly Sam would run himself to a rag all day and then get in back seat of boat, plane or truck and sleep with head hanging DOWN for an hour at a time.

The little lady we have now will lay on her BACK and sleep for a while and she prefers to sleep on the little round bed the 6-pound Pomeranian uses! How the hell she can get herself curled up that small is beyond me!

I think anything is normal with these dogs!

This is only one of his odd positions, much like your dogs. we live in a bi-level and loves to lay at the top of the steps with his head hung over the first step, looks extremely uncomfortable. And when he does sleep on his dog bed, his head is never on it, always hanging off the side on the floor. There is something about this dog that just makes me laugh, he has a personality like no other dog we have had before. Got to love them!

This is his favorite spot to lay, gets a little sun through the window. Spoiled rotten!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
