I love dogs and especially black Labs. First one came into my life in 2005 and we had ten great years before losing a long and hard fought battle with lymphoma. Jumped right back in with another pup and this one made it five years before a large tumor on his spine caused the loss of back legs and we had to make that awful "choice". At this point I said "I can't do that again" but within 2 years I was looking for another pup.
They have all been terrific companions and their mannerisms so similar you would swear they knew each other. "Do this- Dad will love it". I know there will be more pain coming with this one someday but then the laughter will come and dry the tears.
