Henley Harbour, Labrador - note the two little forlorn tents in which we stayed - before they blew away in the night.
Henry Webb, a Nain local, had me along on a trip up to Okak island to pick up an archaeologist (a professor from Maine) and her students, there on a dig for much of the summer. I learned that the north Labrador coast had been an active prehistoric trade route as Ramah bay chert, prized arrowhead-material, was quarried and traded as far south as New England. In a discussion on the boat she said that we think of Northern Labrador as remote today, but it wasn't in prehistory with much coastal traffic and trade.
- Okak Island had a grisly episode when a smallpox epidemic wiped out much of the population in Okak town, and the dead and dying were eaten by their own starving sled-dogs. One little girl who survived was defended by one dog from the others.
- Update: I just found this online re the Okak horror story.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts3hFJOLFuo
- It was something to see the Kaumajet mountains from Okak bay, and to know the Torngats follow, at a max. of 1,652 m.s the 2nd highest mountains in the eastern 1/2 of North America after New Hampshire's White mountains. But the Torngats are sheer cliffs with fjords and are made of 3.9 billion year old rocks, some of the oldest anywhere. At the time there was no way I could get to them. One boat in Nain's dock was heading up and around the peninsula (I was told a man in Ungava bay would buy a new boat every year that makes the trip), and my friend's Dad gave me a hat and asked me to take it if I went and send it back to him so he could have a hat that made the trip (! - shows to go how little traffic there was past Nain). But the captain had insurance concerns and wouldn't take a signed waiver.

- Btw, I've read that in fact it's Ungava Bay that has the highest tides in the world (but in season), not the Bay of Fundy which comes in 2nd. But no-one would want to diminish tourism in the Maritimes and, as I've explained, it's a bit of trick to get up to see the truly highest.
This is Jip ! Sometimes a pain in the ass, but nice in pictures...
We've got 3 labrador retreivers, we've found them on a dutch site called : Marktplaats.nl
It's a place where you can sell used goods/stuff (and animals)
It's a shame people don't think before they buy dogs...
Interesting facts about my lab:
Name: Sunna
Location: Iceland(that might explain her light colored nose!) :)
Toys: She loves playing with those ropes you can get at the pet stores and also soft animals with no stuffing but with those squiking balls inside. She also loves playing with plastic bottles, tennis balls and just anything she finds around the house.
Favorite treat: She LOVES Pop corn ! She also loves the home-made treat we make for her out of liver and something(we found the recipe somewhere on the web).
Her favorite things to do is going out for a walk, she always gets so excited when she knows she's going out. She also loves it when we take her of the leash outside and she just runs and jumps around like she has endless energy but when we get home she just falls asleep and is tired the rest of the evening. Even though she's tired, she's always ready to go out.
Thing she dislikes: She doesn't like it when we pet other dogs, she gets really jealous and just comes to us and cuddles against us and wants us to pet her instead. She also doesn't like it when I go outside for a jog and leave her at home.
Interesting thing about Sunna: Every time when someone comes to our house she always needs to find a bone or a toy and have it in her mouth when she greets someone.
This is the stare of OHMYGODOHMYGODWALKIESYESYESYESLETSGO :) Little Ellie is pretty special to me... When I moved house, my 2 dogs Penny and Priscilla escaped at different times and never came back, despite a huge hunt. SIGH! Ellie has filled a huge gap in my life for a while, and the cheeky little scamp luuuurves her walks!!
Labrador Park, also known as Labrador Nature Reserve, is located in the southern part of the main island of Singapore. It contains the only rocky sea-cliff on the mainland that is accessible to the public. Since 2002, 10 hectares of coastal secondary vegetation and its rocky shore have been gazetted as a Nature Reserve.
Retriever do Labrador (ou carinhosamente, Labrador ou Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas caracterÃsticas, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.
Ótimo cão de companhia, mas atenção, pois este cão adora estar na presença de humanos e odeia estar sozinho. Não é, de todo, adequado para alguém que esteja fora de casa por longas horas durante o dia.
O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na famÃlia dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

Foxy has had two litters and we have received several phone calls from parents of her pups. They have all commented on trainability and mellow disposition. She's a keeper!
Throughout the large bog the Labrador Tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum) is in bloom at the Mer Bleue Conservation Area, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
I noticed when wearing a collar Ralph scratching himself a lot, and takes a hair off around it, but with just his chain he is fine. He has always had a sensitive skin, so no more collars for our big boy;)
Sadie's first ever bathtime went.. well. :')
Just a little colour for my stream.
I'm really excited to get some film developed and hopefully show you the results. Some of them are still from last september! So it'll be great finding memories I've forgotten.
more to come in comments.
Or perhaps an early labrador - very old photo. It is rare to get a studio photo of a dog all by itself, so this must have been a very special dog.
