I know it is a sin to want but I'm stuck with boog

So yesterday I’m up in New England area with work. And I walk into hotel lobby and the hotel lobby is loaded with Labrador retrievers. It is a dog show and as I wait for housekeeping to get a room ready for me to go to bed. I’m surrounded by well behaved labs. Labs show breed yea boog is pure bread chocolate lab. But I was thinking sitting wow these dogs so well behaved. Not a two time obedience school loser like boog. Then I get home this morning and I get boog kisses ear licks and cuddles. Man I missed you and I love you so much.

Wouldn't you take your Boog over a Stepford Lab any day? (hey I know he has his moments, mine does, too)

Those kisses and licks can't be duplicated! We love our big furry lugs. No matter what ...

I think that is an official commandment but I’m not sure. I’m not real good at commands or commandments of any kind.

back in her puppy days. She knows what she is supposed to do, but sometimes it is just too much trouble for her.

She's not nearly as demonstrative these days, or as naughty. She is thirteen years old now, and slowing down.

I have a Golden that I refer to as a Golden Retarded, and as rude as that is, I wouldn't give her up for all the money in the world. Love her to death. But, you can look her in the eyes, and know that the wheel is spinning, but the hamster is dead.

I love labs. My older most loved pup is a tripod having had cancer on one front leg exactly a year ago. Still loved balls and sticks the past year. Yesterday found out he has a big swollen lymph node with cancer. Nothing in the lungs yet but torn on what todo next. $4500 surgery and chemo regimen for a few more months. I wish I could start over. Tuff decision in the next few days. I love labs.

I sure hope that he does well. He is so very fortunate to have you.
