 From: Helen and Ian Harvey Birmingham, West Mids Dog: Lucy Black Lab. 14yrs old on 14th Nov 02 Hello again Tess, I have been a fan of your web site for a couple of years now and I am proud to have been on it twice before. My mom and dad love me to bits too. They worry about my age and how much I have slowed down. I just try to show them everything is fine and to keep the food coming!! They think the secret to keeping beautiful at my age is plenty of gentle exercise and healthy snax (i agree!!). I especially love the seaside sniffs,(see my picture). One day you will get slower and remember how you used to run around...but never be sad as lazy afternoons snuggled up with your owners are just as rewarding as those mad days when you ran on the beach together. Take care Tess...Happy Turkey!! (...I mean Christmas!!) Love Lucy. xx From: Tracey Brown Scotland Dog: Leo Black Labrador - 16 months Leo is happy as long as he has something in his mouth. He is an absolute stunner. He is off the working breed and has a super nature. My partner and I don't have children so he is effectively our baby. He is spoilt rotton and still thinks he is a puppy. He is a handful, but I adore him.  From: Robert Atlanta Dog: Otis Dog: Black Lab and Dalmatian 10 years Loves to take long walks, watch our kids play and enjoys my chair. Loves to eat bacon. Loves to play with my dalmatian and baseball glove. This is a portrait I did of my dog. I also paint portraits of our friends. I do not want this to sound like an add so feel free to omit. I love this painting and the dog, I hope you do as well. From: Joe and Melissa Gray North Pole, Alaska Dog: Dakota black lab, rottweiler mixed 8 weeks Dakota is a very playful puppy, very energetic.

Hello Tess From: Chad A. Rogers Indianapolis, IN Dog: Lazarus (Laz) Black Lab Laz likes to run and play outside after som coaxing, but he really enjoys sitting around the house and watching football. From: Eric Martinsville,NJ Dog: Buds Black Lab Buds likes to run, and catch frisbees. Also, like all other Labs, loves to eat!  From: Anne and 'Frank' Appleby, Driffield, East Yorkshire, England This is Paddy - he's a Black Lab crossed with a Springer Spaniel, and is now approaching six years old. Both his parents were pedigree gundogs, but when we got him as a three-month old pup, he had contracted demadectic mange, and within a few months he had lost almost all of his fur. At the time he looked more like a Shar-Pei than a Lab, but with plenty of care and medication, he eventually fought off the infection and he is only left with a small bald patch on his neck to remind us of his ordeal. His early days, as with most Spaniel-types, was spent tearing round the house at 90mph, jumping on people's heads as he ran round the back edge of the sofa, and stealing our meals. He has calmed down in recent times, and is sadly now affected by arthritis in his front elbows. We're giving him green-lipped mussels and a calcium supplement to keep his joints supple, and although he's not allowed to chase balls anymore, he's still a happy dog. We recently moved to a bigger house with a much larger garden, complete with 6ft fence. Amazingly, we found that Paddy - despite only being about 18inches tall - could vault the fence. After reinforcing it with mesh nets to keep him in, we then discovered that he had been watching too many repeats of The Great Escape, and had become an expert tunneller! Paving slabs are now buried at the bottom of the fence to prevent him digging his way out, and I seem to have won the battle of wills to keep him from 'roaming' - there's a cute Black Lab bitch that lives just around the block who sometimes visits Paddy at his gate, and I'm sure she was the inspiration for his regular breakouts. I hope you can find space to feature Paddy on your excellent website. From: Melissa Texas Dog: Jenny Black Labrador Retriver,6 Jenny is 6, she likes to go swimming, play with her friends and chase squirrels... From: Scott Larsen Sonoma, California, USA Dogs: Jazz and Aurora Black Labs, 5 years old Homepage  From: Dennis Losh Fishersville, Virginia Dog: Jax Black Lab 4 yrs old Jax is a very playful and active 4 Year old. He loves to play ball and fetch. Loves his daddy and Uncle Thomas. Likes to play in the swimming pool in the summer.  Hi, Just stumbled across your website, very, very good. Nice touch writing it from Tess' perspective. If my dog could talk I'm sure she would say the same things. At least it now puts my mind at rest that it's not just our dog that has a "mental" few years early in it's life. I can picture our dog Remy in every one of your photos (especially the ones with the beach and xmas turkey!) Glad to see someone with such charisma and love for labs as we are. I'll have to get my backside in gear and finish my own site. Please find attached a picture of our little "angel" in one of her less chaotic moods. Remy is also a high breed pedigree, just over two years old now. Jon and Karen Edmondston Lytham, Lancs.  From: Chris Swartz Enola, PA Dog: Samson "Sammy" English Labrador Retriever - 7 Yrs. Loves to eat, and Loves to fetch a ball. He also loves his woman, Goldie (Yellow Lab) 4 Years Old. Goldie Loves to hunt and perform. Sammy rules and likes to take control and make sure Miss Goldie behaves. From: Kathi New Jersey Dog: Luther Black Lab, 10 Months Old Hello! I am Luther, a 10 month old Black Lab. I love to run in the woods and chase my older brother Headro around so I can lick his big floppy ears! I love to have all the attention but get very sad if Headro goes for a ride without me because I annoy him sometimes. Mommy and Daddy play with me all the time so I don't chew stuff I am not suppose to. This year is my first Christmas, and Headro tells me that Santa will bring me a big bone and toys because I am such a good boy.
