OMG! :eek: Ya Nutters.......:rotfl: :T :rotfl:

That cracked me up! not sure what most? the fact that you prepared such a lavish pampering session for him or the way he was lying there like a god!

Ps. My dog hates a bath so would have just skidded everywhere manically jumped out and soaked me candles or not!!! :rotfl:

I think in a way i would have found it a bit upsetting seeing a dog that hasn't been exercised for a year.

Im wondering as well what the dog would be like out on a lead when walking e.g. if was scared when cars came past.. Not exactly a small puppy size to try and control if it goes a bit crazy.

Oh poor doggy!

It may not just be the exercise/lead issue if they never took it out much poor dog might not have been very well "socialised" which can then lead to all sorts of issues.

Well they had there first visit to see the chocolate lab... This dog def aint just chunky.. its FAT!!!

They met with there own dog along with the lab and its owners outside the lab owners house. It became very much apparent to my friend and partner that this dog never had really been outside. It was so happy that it was outside the house.. totally ignored my friend, her partner and their dog.

The dog was also very bad on a lead ( may be due to the lack of fresh air and exercise)
Their not sure what to do as they are wondering what other issues the dog may have.. But the main one was the fact the dog was very big

The lab is only a year old. You've got plenty of time ahead to get her back to her ideal weight and fitness. Think of her as a broken car you've got to restore, so much pleasure out of restoring her than buying a normal one. It won't be easy but the rewards will be great.
