Haha! Whadya' think of that, Mr. Uncle Keith, eh?? Chris - I do not deny that we may one day foster a lab and ultimately adopt him/her. In fact, that is one of our hopes: that we might be able to find a good fit for our family when the time is right. Until then we are pretty happy with the notion that maybe we can help a few other nice dogs along the way to find some good homes too.

And I think she looks very wise and thoughtful in her pictures. Maybe she'll warm up to the children more as she gets used to them. I can imagine Daisy, on the other hand, is thinking, "Please don't let another dog see me in this get-up!" She’s quite impressive! And I think she looks very wise and thoughtful in her pictures.

I don't wonder if she knew children in her past who perhaps treated her badly or what. But our little Abigail, dog and animal-lover extraordinaire, has yet to be able to charm her enough for Goldie to pay her much mind. She is tolerant, but that's about as far as it goes. And any dog who joins our family will have to be pretty nuts about my kids, heheh. Given a lab's propensity to love on children, I am actually quite eager to hold out for the right doggie.
