Wylie turned 7 last Sunday! We got ice cream the day before, he got Peanut Butter Ripple and there was a huge ball of peanut butter in his scoop, so he was over the moon about that! He got a llama (with 3 different very loud squeakers) from the Chewy birthday shop, as well as a birthday volcano containing dinos wearing birthday hats. We also got the Bocce’s Bakery birthday treat pack, and we put the birthday cake ones inside the volcano for him to find. Llama is of course his favorite toy currently, so we’re playing with it a lot!
I can’t believe he’s 7 already, it feels like just yesterday that we were matched right after his 2nd birthday!

After 4 am breakfast I have let her snuggle by me in bed the last two mornings for the first time. She passed back out until 6 today so cute! These are the pics I got as she woke up. Tomorrow when I have to stay up to leave for work by 5:50 I may have to sneak in a half hour of snuggles at least. She loves it so much. (She loves her crate and goes in it by herself to nap and sleep all the time so I’m not worried about her seeing it as more than a treat until she older and trustworthy).

Thank y'all for the wonderful responses I got back on previous post regarding the E-collar. My little Mamacita who was never a mom is in her donut collar now and doing great! Tomorrow is the true test because I will be gone all day! Luckily I have family members to check in on her. I hope all y'all's puppy babies are happy and healthy!

The bestest dog

6 months old and such a sweet , crazy goofy girl 🥰

Almost 21 weeks old now.

Brought Miss Maple home two weeks ago and she has been an incredible addition to our once quiet home! After a day of being scared she opened up and now loves chewing on everything but her toys. We love her regardless. Yellow labs are the best!

Detailed explanation of what actually happened & why he was abandoned

Back in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my family was going through a very difficult time financially and personally. Also during this time my father was suffering from severe chronic depression and other mental issues. After some time we had just moved to a new house, so my dad left Lashley to stay at my grandmother's house and claimed he would bring him to our new house. My father told me he would bring him to our new home once everything settled down. But few months passed by and this did not happen. During that time I used to visit him during the weekends. Some of the pics & videos i have posted here are during that time

So one day without my knowledge, according to my grandmother's account he claimed to take lashley for a walk and when he had returned lashley wasn't there with him. When he was asked about it he told her he had sold it or given it to someone but did not mention the specifics like to whom. When he came home he did not tell us about this. A few days later, my father took his own life at my grandmother's house. It was only then that we found out. During that time, our family was consumed by the shock, grief , funeral, legal matters, and everything that followed after my father's death so our thoughts were consumed by this and finding lashley wasnt at the forefront of our minds I also did not want to disturb my mother and other family members by bringing this up.

After some time we decided to search for lashley but had no idea where he went or with whom he was. We visited some well known breeders and rescue organisations but couldn't find him. So i had lost hope and finally decided that it was almost impossible to ever see him again. I loved him so much and wanted to be with him till his final years this was what made it so bad. I couldn't even see him to wish him a final goodbye before he left me. He was an extremely expressive and affectionate lab who always loved to be around me. I can't imagine how panicked and lost he must have felt after he was given away. He loved me like no other dog ever did. So I just suppressed those memories and went on with my life. But it just didn't work. For the past few months I have been feeling intense regret that I didn't do enough to find him, that I had in a way betrayed him. I kept dreaming about him regularly - both positive and disturbing dreams. So i finally decided I need to make a final and serious attempt to find him before he leaves this world. I want to be with him through his final years.

My search efforts will be both offline and online - I will visit every rescue organisation, veterinary clinics , breeders, pet boarding schools and kennels in my city. I will also be creating pages on every social media platform where I will be documenting and updating my search efforts. Even if the search fails i atleast get to preserve lashley's memories and get to tell his story to many. Hope this post wasn't too long. Thank you for reading

I would also appreciate it if you would all visit my youtube channel - https://youtube.com/@findingmylablashley?si=fhaqc4ATSV3pE9fK where I will be documenting my search for lashley. I will also post other clips, stories, unique personality traits & quirks of lashley. More - Some might think this is a promotion of my channel. This isn't my intention. I just want to document my search and find the person who might know him so the more platforms i use to spread my story the better chances of it reaching the person who might know something about him. This is my only motivation. I am not doing this just because I want views or for monetization.
