Sick Lab

John and I would like to express our gratitude for all your condolences and prayers. Harley was so very special to us, and we will never forget him, he has taken up residence in a special part of our hearts.
After our Harley left us, I knew that we couldn’t have a house that didn’t have a Lab in it so I did some looking on the web and found a breeder that was within driving distance from us. I contacted her and she had two 11 week old labs, and two 4 week old labs. I asked John if we could go look to see what her pups looked like, with no plans on bringing a pup home with us. We were so impressed with her facilities and the way she cared for her dogs. She was not a puppy farm, but a caring and compassionate dog lover. Her dogs are very well behaved and so easy going. There was a big black lab male that came in where the pups were and I assumed he was the sire with his reaction to the pups, but he was just one of her other boys, he just looked at them when they bumped up against or bit him.
Both John and I had never seen so many dogs that looked so healthy. Their coats were beautiful. Needless to say one of the 11 week olds stole our hearts.
When John put him on the driveway at our house, he started to run up the hill and John said “Run Forrest run” and now we have a Forrest in our family. Mona the dachshund doesn’t like Forrest yet, but then she didn’t like Harley when we brought him home.
Thank you all again, it is comforting to know that we have friends we can express our hopes and fear to.
 
The only thing better than a black lab is two black labs.... Glad to hear that you now have a new puppy. I am certain that the joy and happiness that you enjoyed with Harley will continue with Forrest.... I just hope that he doesn't wind up like Forrest Gump.... :yum: :yum: :yum:
 
Congrats on your new addition. I hope we see some pics of Forrest in the near future. :thumb:
 
Mac and Jan- Your call last night broke my heart; I simply didn't know what to say. Harley was a neat old dog all the way down to the bald spot on his butt. Dogs are so important in our lives. They're the best friends we'll ever have. It doesn't matter how badly we screw up, those big brown eyes will still show forgiveness and love. As for Forrest- I'll bet Joe would have approved.

Bless you both.

Cary
