Holy shit it boils my blood when people do that. I would be LIVID if someone tried that with my dog. Please say something to your idiot relative.

Mom complains my dog is too spoiled when she visits but incredulously asks things like "he won't bolt when I open the door? You can leave him unsupervised in the house? I can just leave this plate on the counter?" and "he's so quiet in the car! He's so gentle!"

She lectured me when she found out how much my dog's food cost and what I spent on an elk antler for him

If it's what people call your dog, then I've got some bad news for you.

Aren't most Labradors black? Literally every Labrador i see is black.

It's an even mix; I see a good amount of all lab colors, but yellow labs are the most generic and generally is what people think when they hear labrador.
