Meet my pals

Labs are the best!

First let me say here and now I love my dogs. Period. Don’t know how it happens, but you bring the little ball of fur home and before you know it they’re family. Molly, our black lab was a nightmare as a pup. She had a bladder infection that would not go away. An unnecessary surgery, a trip to Michigan State University Vet Hospital and she was finally better. Two years later she blew out the equivalent of an ACL and had to have an operation on one of her back knees. We call her our $5000.00 dog. Molly is four, mellow and laid back. George our yellow lab is My dog as my wife often reminds me. George who will turn two soon, is the stereo typical drunken sailor, always in trouble for something. I’ve never been around a happier dog in my life. I will admit however, that this boy is hell on wheels and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He gave us a hell of a scare about a year ago; Molly was on medication for her knee. The cat (did I mention we have a cat?), was on the counter and evidently pushed the pill bottle on to the floor. George of course ate the bottle, and the pills inside. The only evidence left behind was half the bottle cap. So off to the vet George went for 2 day of IV fluids to flush the drug from his liver. I came close to strangling a vet tech, but that’s a whole nuther story. Needless to say we have a new vet now. Anyway here they are with yours truely. Were chill’in out after shoveling a little snow off the driveway and sidewalk.
