My Dad is doing great. Having a dog to walk is really good for him. Shadow, they settled on name, is sooooo mellow. Any thought of a watch dog is a pipe dream. He still limps, but there is no way to keep him completely quiet. I forgot to ask if the vet checked his hips.
Labs are such good dogs...They have such warm dispositions and they are so into their people.
I'm mighty happy for your Dad.. Shadow seems to have fallen into it as well..
