I got him from a rescue organization who picked him up in an orchard in Tennesee. No one ever saw mom & dad that we know of, so I have no clue what he really is. He's a very good dog though.

In the top one, the dog just looks thrileld to death to have a buddy.

If you have a newfie, you got my heart! :o)

Does that receipt in the picture mean your dog helps you with your taxes? My dog hasn't learned that one.

Now THAT is a good lookin' pup!

His name is Kane... after Kandy Kane of all things. He turns 2 on Halloween and is already somewhere in the neighborhood of 120lbs.!

Good Gravy, that's a big boy! My rott, a female, is three and a half, and she barely tips the scales at 70.

120 and not yet full grown--he's gonna be HUGE!

Your Primrose is a darling little gal...the name is also perfect...

[andysandmikesmom]

Now those bassety pics with the little kitty have made my day completely happy...thanks...

Perhaps then the women felt the man was safe to approach.

Shouldn't there be a rule about posting pictures if pets are mentioned?

I love Labs, especially chocolates with a dark chocolate coat and less reddish color.

Well, as it so happens, I have a lovely example for you here . . . a very tiny person for a purebred Lab (42 pounds) but full of energy . . .

Obviously, I can't report on her efficacy as a chick magnet, but she is a real "people dog" and adores everybody, and they (mostly) adore her (some people object to being fawned on and kissed, can't imagine why).

[AnAmericanMother]

Black Labs are wonderful, but Chocs are wonderful too.

Shelley's best friend is Tori the Black Lab, who competes with her in agility but is also a tremendous field dog and way ahead of Shelley there (working on her Finished Hunting Retriever and already has her MH).

I whisper in each of their ears that they are the most wonderful (insert color here) Lab in the world.

[Rose of Sharn]

Your choc lab is adorable! : )

[AnAmericanMother]

Isn't she the cutest thing?

She's sitting here in "her" wing chair by the computer, looking at me reproachfully because I'm posting and not playing with Her Majesty . . .

I took my daughter college hunting instead of taking Princess Lab to the hunting retriever club training day . . . and left her all alone with the boys who do not treat her as she feels she deserves. Bad Mommy!

[CARDINALRULES]

She's a beauty, I've seen you post pictures of her before.

The Chocolate we had years ago was smaller also - but she got fat after her first and only litter (mated with a yellow and had all black), one puppy was too big, and she was unable to have any more.

We got her from a woman whose husband took off to Hawaii with another woman , we paid $25 for her but no papers. All the puppies and adults were all chocolate so we knew she wasn't a one off like some chocolates.

She loved getting into our Mallards pens and chasing, grabbing and then swimming in their tub with them in her mouth. She only killed one and then learned not to be so rough.

I still miss her, but now have a big dark reddish Golden girl to spoil.

[Rose of Sharn]

So you are in her bad books heh? LOL
Us humans need to remember that we only think we are in charge. Our dogs know better! : )

Not any more - I caught him trying to claim my leg as a dependent.

In the bottom one, he seems to be managing his stress.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you very much. They made me smile too.
