      He's referring to an illegal meth lab; the solvents involved are volatile and therefore potentially explosive.

      According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

          Hello Friends, I have 2 labs, one is just an year old. The other is almost 8 years old. My vet says that an average life of a lab is 9 years, which means he has just an year left(which is very upsetting). I cant believe how animals have a bonding amongst them selves. One of my labs(who(i dont call him "which")) is just an year remains disturbed these days, i sense a difference in his behavior, its like something bad is going to happen. eventually following links i found out that my first lab who was in a bomb detection squad smelled at least 2 kgs of RDX few months back may be has developed some kind of a disease. When i ask my parents they dont tell me and somehow there is no cure. So i asked many of my friends, they say their labs lived for 10-15 years. All of a sudden there is loss in apetite, sense of smell etc etc. He doesnt like the smell of his favourite shampoo, he doesnt like his favourite chicken sausages and biscuits. I asked my Vet he tells me its just temporary illness due to heat. I dont know whats there to hide. However i posted this here because i could come to know from your experiences. Thanks a ton, Rahul

          Honest--it's not until you mentioned your vet that I realized you were NOT asking how often people replace the hardware they keep in their test lab.

                      He plays a joke on the fact that both "Labrador" and "Laboratory" can be shortened to "Lab". Now he's referring to an illegal Meth Laboratory, which has nothing to do with a Labrador.

                      I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

                        Two to four weeks, but only if you split the profits with your neighbors and don't smoke while you cook.

                          Here's a clue: 4 Types of Lab[^] Sorry to hear about your friend, though. Labs are great dogs, and when bred with other dogs, tend to improve the strain. Perhaps the vet is right, and it's just a temperature related thing. I've known labs that made it 15+ years, and not in particularly nice climates. Keep your dog entertained and active, which along with good nutrition and hydration, will keep him/her youthful for a long time!

                          Will Rogers never met me.

                          Sir, 15 years is a phenomenal time. However the more older they grow, the sweeter they look. I actually cant beleive the temeperature related thing because my lab was used to detect bombs in harsh climatic condition. Actually i feel, sniffing strong chemicals has taken a toll on him. They are basically sniffer dogs. In my Dad's office they used take my lab to periodically check trains for explosive materials. Now the Vet has advised to give him lot of water so that the chemicals flush out of his body as soon as possible. Otherwise he is a very playful dog. Thanks a ton, Rahul
