Not only am I Mom to Ernie, but I am also Mom to Kat who can also do many tricks such as ask for money, borrow the car, raid the fridge, make a lot of noise, and do many other charming things. Oh, and she also takes baths, much like Ernie, but she doesn't hide under the table when she hears the word "bath." So, you can see that Kat and Ernie are very good friends and have been from the start. He watches over her and loves her wildly, and slept by her side to protect her for years. When she was sick, he even stayed close to her to take care of her.

It's really nice to hear all the compliments about Ernie. Thank you all very much.

He is indeed a black lab, and almost 100% purebreed at that. Thank you all so much for your compliments! Let me tell you a little bit about my dog, Ernie. As you can see, I'm VERY proud of Ernie. He sure is the perfect dog.
