Another reason to like labs
I've had dogs all my life, mostly beagles, still do. Since we got "Whisky" our yellow web-footed water dog, the part that has most amazed me is her trainability, desire to please and to stay close.
But something nobody ever told me is that labs are equipped with self-cleaning coats. Last evening was a perfect example. I took Whisky shed hunting and brought her home two-tone: top half yellow and bottom half black with mud. She looked like she'd been dipped in paint; I should have took a picture! Had my outside water been turned on I would have hosed her off, but it was getting late, so in her kennel she went the way she was. To my delight, what emerged this morning was a sparkling yellow dog! Where did it go? LOL!
