Oh, Pepper, I too, apologize for my late reply, but it was worth the wait since you just made my Monday morning! You are a gorgeous black beauty, with a shiny coat and big browners as I call those irristable eyes! I am owned by a gold lab mix who also can smell food a million miles away and has so many of your wonderful labbie traits! I too, wouldn't trade tripping over toys and giving endless belly rubs for the world! What a fantastic new quality of life you have! YAY! Congrats on your special day!
