Dog Thread

If the only lab you ever met was my chocolate boy Bode, you'd question as to whether or not a lab would be for you. He was the definition of an alpha male, let's say, at best, he was challenging.
Now, on the other hand, my yellow girl Pica is the poster child of a lab everyone wants. She needs to be fed and loved. That's it. She's almost 14 and going semi strong.

I knew 2 that belonged to the guide I worked for in AK. Great dogs but the male was so protective of his owners that he could be scary. Plus he was about 110 pounds- all muscle. His mom was a sweetheart though. She adopted my van as her own and would just hang out in there all day. Whenever I let her come with me on an errand she would stand between the front seats and bark at the gas pedal until we hit about forty.
 
Moira had her first off-leash experience at our local dog park, facilitated by her new friends, an alumni from the same rescue, Frankie, and Akira the long-haired shepherd. Their people are nice humans too! No pics, all the dawgz were moving too fast. Moira out-ran the other dogs quite handily.

I had never been to a dog park before, and was a bit skeptical, but it is a great low-stress way to introduce your pup to the off-leash world, as well as meet new and interesting people. Frankie's people both work remotely, so have decided to move to Scotland just for the heck of it.
