Our family loves the Labrador Retriever. I often say to my wife, "There is just something about Labs!" It's true, there is really something special about Labs. Our family has had 3 1/2 labs over the years. Where does the half come from? We currently have Jasmine, who is a 10 year old Black Labradoodle that we adopted from friends a year ago. We also have just adopted Tucker, an 18 month old male Black Lab who lives up to the breed's reputation fantastically, including coming up and dripping water on my laptop from his chin after getting a drink while I try to write this.
Why am I writing a blog about Labs? That's a great question. There are plenty of blogs about Labs. There's even a magazine, Just Labs, that our family has subscribed to from its beginning. There is book after book after book about Labs, and let's not forget a pretty famous book and movie, Marley and Me. I think this only goes to show you how much we love the Labrador Retriever, and I wanted to share some of the warmth, fun, delinquency, and heartbreak this wonderful breed of man's best friend can bring.
I may from time to time even write memories of our last two Labs, Ben and Daisy. They were the most amazing dogs I have ever had as a part of the family, though, I am sure I'll be saying the same about Jasmine and Tucker.
In part this blog is to remind me of the funny stories and life events that happen within our family as it relates to our dogs. I also hope it can bring a smile to someone's face and encourage someone somewhere sometime.
