She came to us as an adult because her previous owners did not want her anymore because she was afraid of gunshots and they wanted a hunting dog. Their loss as she turned out to be the most loyal and loving family dog anyone could ask for. I am generally a cat person, but I do love a good dog too. Congratulations on the great additions to your family.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-77349643501435390352010-07-28T11:40:35.655-04:002010-07-28T11:40:35.655-04:00I so love yellow labs.

We don't have a dog now, but our last one was gotten at the same place you got yours. She was a mutt though. I've always gotten half lab mutts.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-8130090781704194452010-07-28T10:48:34.221-04:002010-07-28T10:48:34.221-04:00Thanks for your comments and well-wishes everyone!...Thanks for your comments and well-wishes everyone!

That dog hair can do wonders in the garden! So happy to see this post, dogs make the world a better place. Now do you know that that run of the mill dog food is horrible for dogs? (Sorry, it is just so important to me, not to feed dogs corn, soy, suagr, and animal parts not fit for human consumption.) :) Had to throw it in there as I learned this lesson very late in life.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-12747732955007857372010-07-27T16:20:25.142-04:002010-07-27T16:20:25.142-04:00This is such a happy post!!

Two dogs is no more work than one, so don't worry about that! And love that your got some recycled dogs, they are the best kind, it's like "they know" and appreciate their family all the more. Dog hair is annoying, I have to sweep every day, sometimes twice if company is coming but I wouldn't change it for anything. Take all that hair and stuff it into suet cages and hang from the trees, you will attract all kinds of birds nesting there in the winter, that will make the hair easier to deal with LOL. And how about 2 dads who scored MAJOR cool points with Jonathan?! I believe every kid should grow up with a dog, that unconditional love is hard to find elsewhere in the world. Can't wait to see the antics of the newest "gardeners" :)!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-24200800446730277212010-07-27T08:22:22.632-04:002010-07-27T08:22:22.632-04:00What a beautiful pair !
