Lady, you sure have that gorgeous shiny coat of a Lab.

I bet you DO have a boyfriend (or two or three).

I could take a good face washing any time.............I consider it the highest of compliments (if, of course, it comes from a dog!)

Let's see we have Mario - Possum and Lady...........now what would happen if I just happened to drop by with Rascal? (big 'ol orange tabby).

I took Rascal once to our vet clinic for his shots - he was in his carrier and a huge Great Dane came up and stuck his nose right up to the carrier windows.
Rascal simply wet all over himself. I felt so sorry for him - and me too because I was scurrying to clean it all up.

Maybe I should just leave him at home and tell him stories and show him pictures.

Lady's human May I tell you our ladys story? It's not quite as sad as your lady's but still pretty much she was supposed to be ours.
Our daughter worked ad the dollar store in town, she would meet all kinds of poeple. One little old lady just loved making conversation,one day she asked if Clarissa had kids. At the time Clarissa was living with (we called him the ghoul) Let's call him A , and they had 2 cats. she called them her kkids (my grandkitties) the lady then mentioned her newfy cross dog, she needed to find a home for,her grandkids (all under the age of 6 ) were living with her as their father was working in Texas (mom out of the pic) Lady was so excitable and only 9 months old she didn't mean to but she kept knocking the kids down. Well at the time we were looking in to getting bronze full blood Newf. Phone rings daughter talks to dad, after wards turns to me let's go for a ride. What!!! as I'm in the car we had Merlin and were going to wait for what Tim wanted. well we pull up to this hous and it's back yard is nothing but ice and mud fenced about a 100x100 yard. There is a shepard mix too.It's the kids dog and didn't jump on them. Lady explains that she had gotten Our lady and her golden sister(hubby about cried he wanted a gold one) as wal=mart puppies they were only 5 weeks old (accordding to her vet. still had to be weaned she pan fed then. She had given away the other dog a couple weeks ago. after playing and watching Lady a while Tim stand s up and says well lets get her leashed and in the car. I'm sitting with my mouth open . I should not have been surprised it was much as the first newfy we got. thats a story too . I'll tommorrow find a buddy picture and write his story. So for almost 51/2 years we've had the party girl as to leash manners she's better than Dugan but I really have to make sure the training collars are on when I take the two for a walk. 300 LBS of dog is a bit much for a 5'2" woman to deal with sometimes. Dugans stroy is much more dramatic but I'll tell it later.
I'm glad youe lady found you and she is so lovely looking. Karen says she's very soft coated too how unusual for the 2 breeds sure maybe not reteiver in there?
My husband is 6'5" tall and has a saying if you have to bend to pet it it's not a dog (no one get mad he really loves all dogs he just LOVES large dogs and his excuse to get them past me) so we have large-giant dogs. Merlin my RB springer was close to being too small.But he was my christmas gift.

Lady's pictures are gorgeous, what a wonderful glossy coat she has. My mother- and father-in-law used to have the sweetest labrador who was terrible on the leash. She would pull you along and make noises like she was choking (well she probably was)! I remember being out for a walk wth her once and a wee boy shouting to my FIL "Hey Mister! Has that dog got asthma?" Very embarrasing.

Has Richard come out of the L&F yet? It can't be healthy to be in there so long. He needs fresh air!

I don't know, KK! Both RICHARD and Mario have been in there for TOO long! I'll take my whip and chair and go in there and check on them.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh be careful, David!

I'll be right behind you! (20 feet behind you ).

Are you sure it's not Corinna's 300lb dog?!!

Richard, nice to see you out! Can I interest you in a hot toddy?
