I have a very soft spot for black Labby furkids, so seeing your picture this morning brought me immediately to the dog board.

I know a very handsome gentleman that is exactly your age and shares in the ability to be an "imp" on demand. He just loves those tennis balls.

Black Labs can always be counted on to be loyal, fun loving and full of the devil. That is why we always make sure you have special places on the couch, bed or wherever you chose.

You, Maxine, are a real beauty and it is easy to see why you have been chosen to receive a special honor today as our Dog of the Day!

If it is possible, I hope today, you will be even more spoiled!
