I would like to nominate Mambo Goddess ( to give her full name!!)
Eversince a pup, she has shown remarkable sensitivity in helping Steph when she has a seizure. She will stay on her bed or by her side even though limbs may be thrashing around, has put herself between Stephs head and the door frame and when she was apup would run between steph and me to warn me that Steph, once again, had hit the deck!!
Am doing this quietly so Skittle wont feel out of it, but she is TERRIFIED when a seizure strikes!! Hides round the door and watches from a safe distance!!
PS Love em both to bits tho!!
OOps just been reminded that Mambo herself has Epilepsy and really bad HD!!

Hmmmm I haven't been on here long but I would like to nominate Pudsey and Scrumpy.
In the runners up section Mambo Goddess cuz of the story above......
Hmmmmm and my boy Jasper because my heart has stopped hurting because I can't have anymore children when he came into our home. I know its just the beginning and we have a long road ahead of us with training but he's made my world
I would like to nominate Zak, because he is a truly loved lab, and Shirley is wonderful. I would also like to nominate Pudsey, as he too is a truly loved, but missed lab. Una, as she is soooo missed, yet doing so well. I can go on and on.
I feel that here on LForums, we all own and have remarkable labs and how on earth can we chose between them. Shouldn't we all just bless the fact that we are lucky enough to own them
I nominate all the labs here on the forum as they are all special in different ways. xx
The last few years I have suffered bouts of depression and anxiety, last winter was a bad spell and it was then my dad suggested I get a dog.
I have always wanted one, so the decision was easy to make, And I then spent the rest of the winter researching breeds and breeders before settling on a chocolate lab. It gave that last bad winter focus for me.
Then I got Cadbury in February and my life has changed so much for the better. Now I have someone to think about other than myself, I have gone to new places, met new people, made many new friends (including those on LF).
When I'm sad, which happens still sometimes. I give Cadbury a hug. Poor boy he is only a pup still but has me sobbing on him sometimes. He just sits quietly and lays his paw on me.
I think Cadbury will grow into a very special dog, not just because he is mine but because he has the biggest heart I have ever encountered in a dog. He wants to be everyone's friend. When there was a nervous pup at his first puppy party, he was the one that kept going up to it and encouraging it to play. he has even convinced my dog-fearful auntie that he is wonderful
There is a spark about Cadbury and I know he will grow into the most wonderful gent and he means the world to me. He has turned my life around. This winter with him has been the best in at least 5 years. I am looking forward to Christmas again and giving him his presents.
I suppose his enthusiasm for life is just so infectious.
I know there are more deserving dogs on here, Cadbury is only 10 months after all. He is not the best behaved, he is not a ring star, he has not battled a disease heroically or rescued a person (other than me, of course). But I really consider him a Godsend.
Before I got him, in my mind I had an idea of what my first dog would be like. I knew it was fantastical, that no dog could live up to my expectations and yet somehow Cadbury HAS! For once in my life a thing I wished for so ardently turned out to be brilliant!
Cadbury gives me hope that my future will be filled with more such things, and he will be at my side to share in them.
So, there you are, and he didn't even have to force me to write this
I'm going to close this now, then all Staff, Mods and Admin can deliberate, cogitate and digest ( ) all the nominations and I'll announce the winner on New Years Day.
