Cuddly Maya

At 3 months, Maya likes to hang out with us on the couch. She is sleeping in her crate at night and goes potty outside. Her potty times and eating times are on a schedule so we all know when she needs to go out or to eat.

Roll Over


One of the first tricks we taught Maya was to roll over.

Our First Labrador

On February 14, 2010 we got our first lab. We named her Maya. We got her at 8 weeks old. Her mom is a purebread yellow lab and her father is a purebred chocolate lab.

Maya settled in quickly. A mistake we had made was that I forgot to the previous owner what food maya was eating and how much and how often she was being fed. We had went to petco to buy her a crate, pillow, food, containers, treats, etc. The bag of food said to give a puppy her age 1.5 cups. So, we gave her 1.5 cups for dinner. Her stomach got big and she barely ate the 2nd day.



On the third day she had went to the vet for her shots. The vet said she was fine and just ate too much. She was eating normally on the 3rd day. After that, we reduced to 3/4 cups 3 times per day.

By the third night, maya was sleeping through the night in her crate.
