So they went to mom and dads for a few weeks to let things calm down. That was over a year ago. The parents being empty nesters wouldn't let us bring them home so they stayed.
My dad and my lab are pretty much inseparable at this point and he gets more attention than we could give him, plus he's outside all the time there so it works out. I do miss my buddy a lot though, but he's pretty much fully gray in the snout and an old man so we aren't rocking the boat.
And the people at MU vet are just unreal. We had my labs back left hip replaced there when he was 3 and they were just awesome.

I second the emotion on MU Vet. We were raising our 8th Guide Dog puppy and she presented an auto immune disease called "strangles". When we took her there, they thought she was a goner, but diagnosed it in two days. 7 weeks of prednizone, a year total with us, 4 months at Leader Dogs for the Blind and voila......... shes a working guide with a blinded man in SD. Prednizone stunted her growth but at 52# shes the little engine that does.
