The wife's Christmas present

[Troublco]

The little dog thread made me think about this...we lost our old pup of almost 14 years about 3 weeks ago. We'd had him longer than our kids, and the wife (and I) took it hard. It was harder yet when I deployed a few days later. We have a Chocolate lab (my boy's big boy dog) and a black lab (my daughter's girl), but they sleep in the kid's rooms and ours slept in our room. Well, my wife's casual, joking comment a couple months ago that we ought to have a full set (Chocolate, black, and yellow) of labs has come full circle.

We found out about a little yellow girl who had been returned to her breeder, who then promptly dumped her with a rescue organization. She'd had a couple seizures; the vet who checked her out thinks that the breeder gave her too much of whatever medication she had been given, triggering the seizures. The lady who has her is the sister of a good friend of my wife, so it didn't take long for us to find out about her, and that was that. (Incidentally, she hasn't had any more seizures. Stupid breeders.)

So now, the wife will have a new little friend while I'm gone, and we will have a full set of Labradors.

Don't let my wife see that or I will have to take back the present I got her and match the cuteness of this one. Great addition to the family. Congrats.

As a Chesapeake Bay Retriever owner, I find it funny that you named your Lab Chessie :-)

[spleify]

Wow he is a cutie

[Troublco]

Clublights - I'll post a pic of our black as soon as I can find a good one; you'll see why we're not missing anything...[ROFL1]

I didn't pick it, the wife did. And for Heaven's sake, don't let her know that there's such a thing as a Chesapeake or we'll have one of those before long...[facepalm]

Cute pup. I had the lab trifecta once it was interesting. But not to ruin your Christmas present but there are silver labs also.

The wife got a new pic last night, so here it is -

and for Clublights, here's the reason I said we're fully covered -

Yes, she's a purebred Lab. No idea why she has the heterochromia; never seen or heard of a lab that does. But she does. Odd thing is, she's our Chocolate's sister; they're littermates. None of the others in the litter had it or anything like it.

And I'm not worried about Silver Labs, they're not purebred Labs. They have some Weimaraner mixed in, that's where the color came from. I've seen pics from that same kennel before, awesome looking dogs. But I don't buy dogs from breeders. Too many that need a home out there; all three of ours (all pure lab) needed a home. Of course, if I ever ran across a silver that needed a home, well...

Wow, what a little doll!

Horrible breed I tell you. Good job!!!
