Well gang! You never know what life brings you... our intention was to get another Siberian Husky (we may still in the future) but for now... one of my brother's co-workers has a lab that had puppies on June 11 (the day the World Cup started hehee). Anyway, he is giving out the black lab puppies and we are taking one. We went to pick him out today and put a red collar to mark which one we are going to take. He's a boy and we are naming him Shadow, since he will remind us a little of Panther...
They are 6 weeks old and are sooo cute! I wish I could play with them more but snoozing is the best thing they do right now hahaha... I took this picture of Shadow and his brother Arkie after falling asleep from drinking from the water bowl... they are too funny
We are bringing Shadow home on Saturday, July 31st. Since he's a "World Cup puppy" I bought him a little soccer squeeze ball to play with. A little nervous to have him home but also excited.
I love Labs!! He is darling----I'm sure you'll be buying more than just one toy for him over the next week Carol, LOL! I know what it's like to have a new puppy in the house---it's like buying for a new baby! Congratulations Mama!
Some of you have seen this already.... but here is a short video of the two little rascals before they went to sleep. You can even see Arkie about to fall into his sleeping position towards the end
I wish I could take the pair home with me but the guy is keeping that yellow lab in the family. He loves him, it's hard not to! lol Their dad is a brown chocolate lab, their mom is a black lab and now they will have their son the yellow lab and complete all three colors lol

Hey gang!
Okay, well it's been a little busy with events and Shadow lol He actually did pretty well the first night! He had some ticks in him though! Poor little thing... we sure had a couple of tick removing sessions, his ears, his paws, between his toes and I believe we got them all. We gave him a bath, he ate and then put him in a little cardboard house and made it all soft for him... he slept so good. I think it was the first good sleep he's had in a while without those ticks in him... :( We played with him and spent a lot of time with him the first night so he wouldn't feel so weird without his siblings and mama, but I think he adjusted pretty well!
He sure is one funny dog and almost has the "Sit" command learned. The best thing he does is sleep right now.. haha but he also has quite the puppy energy. Here are 3 pics of him with some of his toys
This chameleon that I bought him is so funny! When you press him, he squeaks while blowing the red balloon and stretching his tail. Shadow is too funny and I have NO idea, but Shadow whimpers or cries with this toy, but he loves playing with it trying to make it squeak, it's too funny lol
I told Shadow I needed to take one more pic of him with his little soccer ball being that he was born on the day the World Cup started LOL Look at those puppy eyes! lol
