He's... I think six or seven. When I got him i was in... Um... 2nd grade, I'm in 8th now, so he's six. I checked his feet, they seemed fine. I clipped his nails, just in case, he's a very heavy compact little guy. That seemed to help a little bit. He may have gotten in a fight with my other dog, because I know they do that all the time. He's better now, but he limps every once and a while, so you are probably right, a foot crap or a bitten foot. Thanks :D

How old is Foxy? Our chocolate lab got early arthritis in his back legs that caused him to limp and have trouble climbing the stairs. He was only five years old. We changed his food, helped him lose a little weight and fed him supplements with chondroitin and glucosamine for joint health. it worked like a charm and he hasn't limped in two years now. Probably isn't Foxy's problem, but we didn't think it was our Lab's problem either. It may be a possibility.

Check the feet, then watch & wait.  Al exhibited a scary limp at the end of a long day on a long, remote backpacking trip once -- but it was just a cramp or something, it disappeared as mysteriously as it came.
