Our Life...gone to the dogs...

So as most of you know...we have dogs....lots of dogs. No really, we have three labs but trust me...they can seem to multiply! We have two silver labs, Deuce and Lula, and a charcoal lab named Dixie.

Here is Deuce at training with the awesome Bryan Lee. Then there's Lula watching Barrett (off camera) in the park, and Dixie...well...doing what Dixie does...holding down the floor.

They are fun to have around and they are all really wonderful with the kids. Lou (Lula) is Barrett's buddy. She's the most aggressive of the three when it comes to dog to dog dealings but she's a mother hen when it comes to Barrett. When she's inside she and Rhett are either playing chase back and forth through the house or she can be found on the floor wherever he might happen to be, watching him play.

Lou's built on the more delicate side, Dixie is tall and big but can be picky about eating. Deuce is scheduled to be between 90 - 100 lbs and has never met a bowl (of anything) he didn't like. The amount of dog food we go through would send some into palpitations but we take it all in stride.

Deuce has been in retrieval training for a month now. We tried to time things so he would "miss" the girls when they went into season since we weren't ready for puppies. Hopefully in another six months we'll be ready to welcome babies into the house.
