The Long List of "L"s for Labradors

Labrador Retrievers are a unique breed.  A silken coat is perfectly designed to allow this water dog protection from the frequent and delightful immersion in any body of water they encounter.  Soulful eyes gaze up at their masters with an " I love you so much" .  Bodhi is one of our dog companions that visits us from time to time.  With each visit he brings oodles of love, entertainment, flatulence and immense intrigue into his psyche, with us constantly attempting to analyze and diagnose .  Bodhi actually seeks out small rocks in river bottoms, and brings them to the surface; lining them up as if to display his engineering and architectural abilities.  Bodhi simply exudes all that the breed boasts.  Love, laughter, loyalty of lazy days lounging  in the  long summer sun.  Hugs are always welcome.

...love the dog.  love a dog who shows no interest in vanity, but rather seeks out and discovers the simple joy of a trickling mountain stream.  love the dog who rolls in "perfume" that sends us running for the shampoo and a pail of water.  love the dog who can take a nap whenever the mood strikes him.  love the dog who has action packed doggie dreams.  love the dog who has no problem seeking out the positive attributes in every living creature.  simply put...I love the dog...
