Hi: I'm been viewing Pet Talk for a few years now, through the eyes and fingers of my mom. I'm a 9 1/2 year old beautiful yellow Lab, the apple of my mom and dads eye. Gus sure is a beautiful boy. My late brother Bert was a Black Lab cross and was allergy to bees, he got stung on the bum and it took a long time to heal, but my mom got him to the vet real soon so it didn't hurt too much. I'm alleric to Horseflies, dearflies and mosquitoes, no fun. Poor Gus, I'm nervous around puppies too, I think it because they are so!!! small.
