Chocolate Lab puppies have the most beautiful green eyes. They typically will slowly turn brown as the puppy grows to adulthood, but occasionally you’ll see one that keeps them throughout life. This is considered a “fault” by show dog standards I believe, but it’s very striking. They look sort of fierce, despite being the sweet lovable goofs that Labs inevitably almost always are. I had a Chocolate Lab like that in my life for nearly 15 years, loved him dearly, miss him still. He was a puppy from hell with a taste for sheetrock but he eventually calmed down into the greatest dog in the world. Nearly 15 is a grand old age for a Lab and I’m grateful, but what I’d have given for more years. They go far too soon.

15 is ancient; I don't recall ever having a Lab last that long. We had a long, long series of blacks....and when it became evident that we'd, sadly, have to be putting *Michelangelo* [*Jello* for short] down, one weekend I told hubbie, when he went out with the boys, to find something *different*. So, they came home with a yellow. >:D

Thus ensued a long span of yellows in our lives. We had 3 at one time. Insanity. Slacks and pants fashion choice, went from black and charcoal, to khaki.

So, this new gal, is going to be a nice change-up. What I love most about Labs, is that they only shed twice a year. For six months in the spring, and six months in the fall. ...
