15 Reasons Why Owning A Labrador Is The Best Idea Ever

5. They Will Let You Dress Them in Funny Costumes

Unlike cats, most of whom will maul you for trying to put them into a costume, dogs, especially the extremely laid back Labradors, will let you dress them up and go along with it. Regardless if you’re dressing them as Darth Vader, Batman, or a bumblebee, labs will let you dress them up, tails wagging all the while. For them it’s not about what costume they’re wearing or whether it will make them look weird, it’s the fact you’re spending time with them and showing them attention. A lab will be perfectly okay with you putting a tutu on them; not because it’s a tutu, but because they’re bonding with you.

6. They’ll Keep Your Spot On The Couch Warm

There’s nothing like relaxing on the couch watching the hockey game after a long day of work. However, one of the worst feelings in the world is having to get up from your comfy spot to do whatever, go to the bathroom, grab another drink, what have you. Never fear though, because your lab will jump up and keep your spot warm until you get back. Sometimes they wont even move when you get back because it’s not warm enough for you yet…;or they’re comfy, we’ll never know. Either way, you know your lab has your best interests in mind when he or she steals your spot.
