"I guess it'll work o.k. for the small lap dog types, but I've got Labs and they need room!"
My Lab thinks he is a lap dog... As soon as I sit on the couch, that's where he is. (yes he's totally spoilled!)
But when she's not being a lap dog, she wants to run, jump over things, and chase ducks. All you have to do is blow a duck call and she's transformed into a hair-trigger retrieving machine -- just waiting for the word.
Right now she's sitting on the sofa with her chin over the back, watching for the chipmunk that lives under the landscape timbers in the garden.
