My step-daughter says: "I like your dog because it's shiny and pretty. I would really like to pet her soon!"
(She really loves doggies and was taken by the picture of your lab and all her ribbons.)
If you're ever in the Atlanta area, just drop by one of the local Agility trials . . . we are ALWAYS there! There is one other Chocolate Lab on the circuit, but she's (1) twice the size of mine (2) always in our class so if you see her you'll see us!
