Nah, between 80 plus hour weeks working, and getting to know my dog, I check in at times. He's a wonderful dog. Smart, listens to a t, and won't leave my side. Lee of wind river labs sold me an awesome started dog. Can't say enough good things about her. I'll email myself some pics so I can post some.

okay, before we go to the pond tonight for our daily excersize. a pic from lee of trap at heel. one of him retrieving a dead duck. trap with me now, retrieving at the local pond. trap loving me up while drying him off. and him looking at me over the arm of the recliner. he's a wonderful happy dog. glad i bought a started lab, and one that lee said would fit us, after talking to her, and answer questions, about us.

can't imagine he will get any bigger at this point. What is he about 65 lbs? He sure is a good looking dog... always been fond of yellow labs. I am sure that you have very many great years of memory making ahead of you... jealous here.

Nice looking fellow. He looks attentive to what's going on in several of those pix. He'll be your buddy forever. Look after him and he'll look after you.

Trap is doing great adjusting to his new home. Haven't started formal training too much yet. Just throwing bumpers, he does tripled with ease. Throwing bumpers in the sage, he marks very well.
We are going camping for the weekend, so some bonding, and swimming are in store. More pics to come.

Works killing me. Wife got a live very large domestic duck on Saturday. Soon as i got off work, we went out with trap and the duck. Wow, does trap like ducks! Got a pic of him with it still alive in his mouth. Wife was a ways away, and would toss it after blowing on a duck call. I fired a shotgun over trap, he marks great, and would send him. No gunshy!
I do believe my new buddy is gonna work out just fine.

Lets see if i can post a pic from my phone. This is trap with a live domestic duck last sat.. He loves ducks, and never flinched shooting over him. It worked! Traps favorite spot. He's well adjusted to riding in the back seat.

Yep, he's a happy dog and loves you already.
I'm picking up a new yellow Lab pup myself in 2 weeks.

Yep. And loving it. Most everyone asks what kind of dog i have! I love my dog, and it goes with ownership. Glad i work in the oil field. I get more on me because i allow him to love on me, the wife not so much. Hardwood floors are great for sweeping up. Really tho, its not so bad. Could be worse, we could own a chow or husky or such!
