Take one enthusiastic Labrador Retriever....
Add one long river....
Toss in a couple of adoring young ladies...
Make sure a copious amount of sticks are involved....
Scanning for sticks and/or fish is a must....
Don't forget the shake-shake.....
Mix all together to get one supremely happy dog.
"Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."
Mark Twain

Doesn't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteDoncha just love labs! We do - my daughter just got her another lab - this time chocolate. She's outdoorsy - don't know if he'll learn to hunt but he'll be a great buddy! We sure miss our lab... will have to get another one someday! Great pictures, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute and I had to laugh at the shot of him shaking off 'before' he gets out of the water...how precious. xo
ReplyDeleteI love the joy you have captured in this post! xx
ReplyDeleteGirl! That last picture needs to be framed!! ...all the shots are gorgeous but the last one is the BEST!!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo just lifted my spirits, so happy and so pretty with those red-brown eyes! My little Buddy is sleeping on my lap as I type. Sweet critter.

ReplyDeleteShe looks just like my black lab Missy. My new chocolate male is only five months old and already bigger than her. We are in trouble.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is classic! Fun times. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that he crashed early and was slightly useless the next day! Love those labs!
