Welcome to the world of the family Labrador retriever – the black, yellow, or chocolate dog who sleeps on the good furniture when you aren’t looking; who greets you at the door each evening after work with a soggy tennis ball; and who follows you from room to room, always close, in case you need a friendly ear to scratch. Labs are our pets, partners, and protectors, and no “quality family time” is complete without them. Does this sound like your dog? Then JUST LABS is your magazine! We cover their world – and yours – like no one else!
You may remember the gorgeous Lab that graced our July/August cover last year. This is Cedar’s adoption story — told from her own perspective.
by Kelli Lage I was giddy with anticipation. I couldn’t sleep the night before. They had found a home for me. I don’t know how they did it, but my new pa

Difficulty breathing and trouble swallowing can be indicators of a disorder in Labs called geriatric onset laryngeal paralysis polyneuropathy. Read one owner’s tale of diagnosis and treatment.
The second I heard my big, beautiful, black Lab, Solly, inhale that hot July day last summer, I knew it. There's no mistaking that raspy sound; he had laryngeal

From the Editor: Obviously, depending on when you receive your next issue, our world looks a little differently compared to when we toasted the New Year and welcomed in 2020. Whether that look is dramatically different or not remains to be seen, and seems to change with each day’s news releases, stock market fluctuation, and social media theory.
We could fill up these pages, of course, with articles and advice on what you need to be doing with your dogs right now in light of our new, shared realities; but I think that applying some of the general recommendations and, in some cases, executive orders to your immediate family – dogs included – is common sense.
Therefore, I’d like to use our pages to continue to remind you of OUR world – the world of Labrador retrievers, family, tradition. It’s a world untainted – at least in our minds – by the trappings of the “real world”; and if, for right now, we can only read about it and dream, then I feel that’s our duty here at the magazine. To give you that opportunity.
So our plan – in contrast to just about everything else out there at the moment – is not to change much from what we’ve shared and celebrated in these pages for years and years, that is, the happiness and optimism that our Labs bring to us. Perhaps that bit of consistency and normalcy is just what we need right now.
Sincerely,
Jason Smith

Just Labs Magazine
As many of you may already know, the sporting world lost a true artist nearly two weeks ago in photographer and columnist Chip Laughton, a photographer whose work I've used at JL, Pointing Dog Journal, and Retriever Journal, and Just Labs for more than a dozen years -- and I lost a friend. I have waited to post anything until after his memorial service this past Saturday, but also because I have not been able to find the words. I hope to put those words into my next editorial for the magazine and in a future photo essay tribute. But today, I'll just say that he had the God-given ability to capture a singular moment in time of the world and traditions we love so much, the dogs we love so much, and the friends and family we love so much and make you feel. His images connected you to your memories and to your dreams. But more than that -- so much more than that -- he was a true gentleman, no ego, always thinking of what he could do to make your life a little easier. Our sporting and dog world is a poorer place without the new images he will not be here to capture, but our world is a poorer place without him.

Dear Just Labs Magazine team,

Question of the Day:
If you could ask your Lab ONE question and get a verbal response from him/her, what would it be? (Keep it family friendly, folks! If you have more than one Lab, please limit it to just one question.)
We'll try to put together as many of your responses as possible to include in a future issue of the magazine! (By posting a reply, you agree to allow us to publish it.)
