Welcome to Pet Talk!! What a GORGEOUS pup!! And what a lucky one, too!!! Boating, beaching, fishing!!! What more could a Retriever hope for!

She is beautiful; and sure looks like a Lab to me!! I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Gizzy

That pic of Gizzy and Leiloo is so precious.

I have two doggies, Cody, a Husky/Shep and Star, a yellow Labbie!

Thank you for your kind comments.

Let me give you some background information on us. My boyfriend and I adopted Leiloo almost 3 years ago (she'll be 3 the 20th of this month) from the loca Humane Society when she was only 2 months old. She was a timid little girl, terrified of everything that moved but with a trainer/friend of mine advice we were able to overcome that and I am very proud to say she does therapy work at hospitals now. She has also been the perfect foster mom to various timid strays that have wandered into our lives and hearts.

Gizzy was the foster who wouldn't leave. He was found near a paint ball site with his siblings and mother dead by paint ball guns. He was terrified of people, especially kids, and I didn't have it in me to give him to someone who might worsen his already rather large baggage. He passed away very peacefully in my arms one day after a few weeks of suffering from kidney problems. It came very suddenly and drastically and while I was prepared to fight, his tiny body simply wasn't. He is greatly missed by both Leiloo and me.

Leiloo is so cute!!! I love the picture with the binkie!! I'm so sorry about Gizzy, no living thing deserves to be treated the way some of them are. You are an angel for giving him a couple of months of happiness.
