Finn and Maddie at the lake

[finn's mom]

Yesterday, Finn went swimming with his buddy, Maddie. Here are a few of the photos I got of the two labs doing what labs are meant to do. :) Finn's on the left...It was a great night!

The pups looked like they had a great time. I really like the last picture.

Get pics....they both look like they had a blast. OMG Kari...I can't believe the color of Maddie's coat. He is soooo white and then those yellow tipped ears. I don't think I have ever seen a lab with that coloration. Soooo cool. :) And Finn of course is too cute. I love the pic with him bringing in that big ol stick. Too funny and too cute. :D

Really? The white yellow labs were all I saw back in Texas. It's why I chose Finn, out of the other yellow labs, cuz they were all white, and, he was the only dark one. Both their ears are darker than the rest of them...I think that's all I've ever seen. I love the difference between the two of them...The white is cool, just not what I prefer. ;) She's a sweet dog!

I have never seen one like Maddie here in Canada. I called my hubby to come see and he was stunned. Funny isn't it how one color in one place can be completely foreign to another place. The dark color is very common here. :)

That is cool! Everyone around here and in the areas I lived in Texas always think he's a golden retriever because he's not "yellow" like they're used to seeing...crazy!

Great pics!

Nice photos, that's a very pretty lake. Finn and Maddie are great swimmers! Both are beautiful dogs. :)

[Glacier]

Very nice. My dogs don't swim much. They like their water frozen! I'd like to get a water dog sometime. I love to swim. It would be nice to have canine buddy to swim with!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Would you look at those two gorgeous retrievers!! What a couple of beautiful labbies they are. Those pics are fantastic Kari. They get along famously don't they? We love the one with both in the water with the big sticks. Looks like a good time was had by all!!:D

Terry, Daisy and Delilah:)

[finn's mom]

Hey, thanks everyone for checking out Finn and his new pal. They don't really play too much, but, they do love to retrieve those sticks! Maddie doesn't really give hers up, though...:)

[sabies]

Looks like fun! They are both great swimmers.

[K9karen]

I'm sure they were in doggie heaven! Beautiful pictures! I also like the last one the best. Both are so beautiful in their own way!

[Ginger's Mom]

Looks like they had a good time. It's nice to have a friend to go swimming with, isn't it Finn? Great pictures.

[beeniesmom]

Awww Finn, You and Maddie look like you had such a good time fetching those sticks and swimmi8ng together.

[luvofallhorses]

Yeah, I've been really making sure to enjoy the summer this year. My friends are a lot of fun here, and, it's awesome being right on the water like this. I'm off tomorrow, so, I'll be kayaking and bike riding, too! Finn will hopefully try to hang out on the kayak with me again. :)

Yeah, I've been busy with this new job, but, loving every minute of it so far. And, I've already gotten a paycheck, which already puts it above the insurance thing. ;) When I'm not working, I'm trying to be out playing in the summertime sun. :) And, Maddie is owned by a girl who dates a neighbor of mine. They're really nice people, and, they love when Maddie and Finn can swim together.

[finn's mom]

And, thanks everyone, for checking out my pictures! :)

It looks like Finn and Maddie had a great time swimming in the lake.I have never seen that color of Maddie on any Lab that I have seen.Are you sure Maddie is a full Lab or is there a mix in there somewhere?

[puggywuggles41893]

Wet dogs!:D Those are great pics!

Yeah, Finn and Maddie are both full yellow labs. Yellow in a lab can go anywhere from pure white to dark red. :)
