Maddux AKC Labrador Retriever Family

If I could live my life over again,
I would have gone to bed to rest when I felt sick instead of pretending the earth would stop if I wasn't at work for a day...
I would have burned the pink candle carved like a rose instead of letting it melt in the pantry...
I would have talked less and listened more...
I would have invited friends to the table even if there is a stain on the carpet and the couch needs to be cleaned.
I would have eaten popcorn in the "good" room and wouldn't have worried so much about dust when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather telling stories from his youth.
I would never have insisted on driving with the car windows down on a beautiful summer day, just because my hair was freshly styled and fixed.
I would have been lying on the meadow with my head on the grass.
I would have cried and laughed less watching TV and more watching life.
But, most of all, to have a second chance at life, I would cherish every moment, I would really look at it... I would live it...
I wouldn't get so worked up over petty and petty things anymore...
Don't worry about those who don't like you, or rather, you shouldn't care who does what...
Instead, let's cherish the friends we have and the people who love us...
And to what we do every day to improve our mind, body, soul, emotions.

CASE UPDATE AND REQUEST FOR THOSE WHO WANT JUSTICE FOR AUBREE: We need the support of our equine community to help the prosecutor understand the severity of horse theft and its impact on the lives of the victims. Stolen Horse International is reaching out to our victims, friends, and supporters, urging you to email and call the district attorney, Colleen O'Toole, and request that action be taken in Aubree's case. Her email is [email protected]. The office phone number is 440-576-3662.

Aubrees's owner Sarah, gives the following update. - "I received a call from Detective Reece today. He is the detective who has been investigating the case of our stolen pony, Aubree. He said that he had finished the investigation and sent the information to the prosecutor's office for charges against 4 juveniles and 1 adult involved in her theft. It will be up to the prosecutor to determine what happens with these charges. It is well known in this area that charges against juveniles usually result in barely a slap on the wrist, so it is important that we all urge the prosecutor to take this case seriously. Horse theft is a felony, and the juvenile involved is now 18 and old enough to know better. At this point, it would be helpful for everyone to let the prosecutor know, via phone or email, that they would like to see action taken. The prosecutor in Jefferson, Ohio, is Colleen O'Toole, and her email is [email protected]. The office phone number is 440-576-3662.

Hey there, lab-loving Maddux family! It's been a while since we've posted, but we're always thinking about you and our wonderful Maddux puppy family. I adore seeing your pictures! Feel free to share photos of your adorable Maddux or Molly puppies in the comments below. And don't forget to tell us all about them too!

THIS PUPPY NEEDS YOUR HELP! - Would anyone like to have or foster a Lab puppy? I don't know if this is a full Lab puppy because it was running down our road. It kept coming in our yard, so you know what we did. I couldn't leave her out there alone.

I thought it was just a mixed black dog in the dark. The next day, we leaned more toward a full-blooded Lab puppy, probably 4-6 months old. Her coat was so slick and shiny that I assumed the puppy was an inside dog and didn't go out much. It was not starving or skinny when it came here. Just two meals plumped her right back up. But she is now freezing in the cold nights, alone, in the dog house. This breaks my heart.

We can't bring the puppy inside because of our three Labs. We can't let her out much for the same reason. They are unhappy she is here, and we don't want to take any chances with her safety. It appears she may already have some battle scars on her face. She was hiding under the car when we got her.

I did introduce Palmer to her yesterday, our yellow Lab, and the mom to the other two. They did fine together. It is the other two, who are already so jealous of each other, (but never mean to each other) that I worry about.

Use the Message Button to send questions.

We've been looking for the owner, but none of the phone calls, flyers, or posts have found one.

We hope that all of our puppy families are doing well and are getting ready for a very happy and merry holiday. It has been a long time since we have seen some of Palmer and Maddux's, and Molly and Oliver's puppies in one place. We have a request for you. Can you post pictures of your babies below in the comments. Don't forget to tell us a little about them. :-)

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

I took a little nap in Steel's room and when I woke up, I see this. :) I bet this happens to you too. 😀

I was watching TV last night when I looked over and saw all three dogs piled up together on two beds. Palmer, the yellow Lab, is the mom to Bo Bo, (front) and Molly, (back). Bo Bo came to live with us about a year ago (after Maddux died) and has fit right into Maddux's place as our third Lab. We love our Labs!!

Labrador retrievers are still tugging hardest on U.S. dog lovers' heartstrings, but poodles just strutted back into the American Kennel Club's top five most popular dog breeds for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.

With 197 recognized breeds, the list ranges from such familiar furry faces as Labs — No. 1 for an unprecedented 31 straight years — to the newly added Biewer terrier (making a strong debut at #82) and unusual pups like the hairless Xoloitzcuintli ( #119).

Some dogs have all the fun! Beau is at his special swimming place for dogs. This was in January. Beau also goes to Fitter Critters to swim once a month. He loves it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of Molly's puppies!!! Here is Midnight celebrating hers. Show us your pups at 1 year old today! Thank you Christine Hawkins for sending us this beautiful, and fun, picture. So glad to see that Miles is no longer scared of dogs. Labs have a way of taking care of that one, right? :-)

Some dogs have all the love in the world. We are so thankful that Maddie Grace and all of our pups are loved!!!

Meet Beau. George Shoemaker has been keeping us updated and says, "He’s close to 110 pounds and growing. He's a gentle giant." That was last fall.

Meet Midnight, born on this day last March. Look how sweetly she takes the treat. Christine Hawkins says, "Midnight is the most gentle doggie. More than I ever could have imagined. Here’s her taking the smallest little treat from me." Awwww.
