Morning,
I was reading John Gierach's At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman this morning when I came across a paragraph that sums up labs pretty well. "I met a panting choclate Lab out walking his human and it occured to me that a strange Labrador retriver gives you a better greeting than almost any person you know. I mean, how many of your friends run up to you wiggling all over and lick your knees?"
Yesterday our lab, Aspen, and the four year old, JD, led each other into the largest mud hole on our property. JD was stuck in mud up to his knees and Aspen a yellow was more black than yellow. When I pulled JD free I asked him why he went down into the really deep mud without missing a beat he said, "It was Aspen's idea." It appears in addition to greeting strangers with excitment labs also make a great excuse to play in the mud or at the very least give you the idea to play in the mud in the first place.
My best,
Don Shearer
