Teaghan & Seamus 🌈 de Mathuin

🎂Today is my birffday!🎈 I am 10! Since it’s Cinco de Mayo I might get some Mexican treats, but M&D say no cerveza🍺or tequila☹️.

Dis morning I focused my labbie powers on Mum until she said, “Poor little girl! Did your Dad forget to feed you?” She was putting food into da bowl and Dad came in and said, “What are you doing? She already ate!” Poof! No second brekfuss. SOOOO close!😖

Pals, Dey named a pretty tree after us!

Nap time for me and my bestie, Otter.

Hi, Pals! I got really good news today! Da vet lady called M&D dis morning to say dat little lumpies she tooked out of my mouff were benign. I has no idea what dat means, but it made M&D very happy!

Hello. I'm the skunk. Yes, I sprayed your dog. I know. Let me explain what happened. Your dog ran at me in the dark. I turned around. I lifted my tail. I gave him TWO warning stamps with my front feet. He kept coming. So I sprayed. I can spray accurately up to 15 feet. I have 5-6 shots before I need 10 days to reload. I don't WANT to spray. It's my only defense. I can't fight. I can't run fast. I can't climb. Spray is all I have. Your dog ignored two warnings and a raised tail. I used my last resort. I'd argue that's on him. But let's talk about what I was doing in your yard BEFORE the incident. I was digging small holes in your lawn. Those holes? That's me pulling grubs out of the soil. Japanese beetle larvae. June bug larvae. The grubs that are destroying your lawn from underneath. I eat 400+ grubs per season. Plus beetle larvae. Crickets. Grasshoppers. Mice. Voles. And yellowjacket nests. YELLOWJACKET NESTS. I dig them up and eat every single one. Larvae, pupae, adults. The entire colony. I'm immune to their stings. My thick fur and skin protect me. I am the #1 natural predator of ground-nesting yellowjackets. You spent $150 to have a yellowjacket nest removed last August. I would have done it for free. In one night. "But the smell." Tomato juice doesn't work. Use this: 1 quart hydrogen peroxide (3%), 1/4 cup baking soda, 1 teaspoon dish soap. Apply to dry fur. Let sit 5 minutes. Rinse. Gone. What to do: Don't let your dog outside unleashed at night during skunk season (Feb-April = mating season — they're extra active right now). If you see a skunk — back away slowly. They give multiple warnings. If the tail goes up and front feet stamp, you have 3 seconds. Don't block their path. Don't corner them. Let them leave. Appreciate the grub control. Those small lawn holes? That's free pest removal. I'm sorry about the dog. But he had 2 warnings and a raised tail. And your lawn has never looked better because of me. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Gardening Tips & Tricks

The invasion has become a convention!😖

Invasion!!😱

Happy Easter pals! I almost caught da Easter Bunny last night. Da laughed, Mum didn’t. Den dis morning I had to chase two trespassing deer off our property. Mum ran after me barefoot, but I stopped at the edge of our property and came back and finished my 💩. Mum was 😡!

Whoopsie! Dad was holding a lamb chop bone for me to chew and his thumb got in the way of some chewables.😳 He made a very loud noise! He should be impressed cuz dat was just my little front teef.

@olive_blacklab So sorry to hear this. Seamus and your other friends will greet you over the Bridge.

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share that our beautiful Olive has crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈🐾 She was the gentlest soul, full of love, loyalty, and quiet strength. Sleep peacefully, our darling girl. You were everything 💜

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Seamus (from the Bridge) and me! Mum made soda bread and I got some! I smells chocolate cake and now da whole house smells like corned beef!

He was a good toy… for 26 minutes 😂

I just had my toes stolen!!😬

@jakesilverlab You made a difficult choice and you made it out of love and caring. Run free, Abbey!

💔She’s gone. We took this photo together just 2 hours ago. The hardest decision ever. We did not want that cancer to win, so instead of having her hang on for weeks & have it take her when it burst open, we gave her the best day ever & said goodbye while she could still somewhat enjoy it. I’m absolutely devastated and this is another huge loss. She joins her best friend forever Jake, at the rainbow bridge. We were told to choose a date (before the tumor ruptured) which at the latest would be weeks. We decided last night to say goodbye today, on her 14th birthday. What an honor to spend it with her. We spent the morning making a paw print for her memory, we went for a last walk (she tired after only a minute), we hung out with Jackson, had some birthday ice cream, she had a big chew bone & treats, and I cooked her fresh chicken and vegetables. I fed it to her out of my hand, so that I could be close to her on her final breakfast. When we got to the vet, we brought a McDonalds breakfast sandwich; which she had always wanted, and I also fed that to her. Our final words were how happy she made us, how blessed we were, how much we loved her & that she would meet her Jake at the bridge. We told her how good of a girl she was and that we would see her in heaven. Absolutely lost without her. Life will not be the same. She was like a daughter to me. I lost my only daughter to cancer (she was 30) and Abbey was like a daughter in a way. I work from home & we were together 24/7. There will never be another princess.
