lol- they sound like goobers- our lab was kinda like that too- a big goofball- We had an old english sheep dog- she was more refined- her job was to protect the property- and she took it serious- not aggressive, but just to alert us if someone arrived- or an animal tried making their home nearby- she was a good dog- mostly quiet- almost regal acting- but alert for dangers- and very friendly but dignified lol-
Sounds just like Katie! I miss that girl.
