My family and I were in northern Minnesota at a cabin and we went to get gas in our boat at the local supplies store. As we pulled up at the dock, a very enthusiastic dog named Zoe ran up to us and dropped a pine cone onto one of the girls lap and stood there expectantly, wagging her tail and quivering in anticipation of the game of fetch she was hoping wed participate in.

How could we resist!

While we were tossing the pine cone, which became increasingly mangled and had to be replaced several times, I noticed how fit and healthy-looking Zoe is. I talked to her family, who own the resort she lives at and she stays fit because she finds so many people to play with (proactively dropping pine cones or sticks in their boats as they pull up to get supplies) and she stays active all the time. She eats well but exercises all the time, building muscle and a beautiful shiny coat.

Check the video out to see Zoe in action fetching pine cones – no “flabrador” here!

For those of you wondering if Zoe is actually a bit too thin, note Zoes waist and ribs. You can see her waist clearly and if you run your hand over her side, you can feel her ribs but they arent overly obvious – a nice balance for a beautiful dog. Were all rather immune to labradors with no waists and think thats how a labrador should look like – its not. Just ask your veterinarian.

Is this what your Labrador looks like? Is this what you would like her to look like?
