New Lab...Charlie

Well, we finally did it. He came home Sunday...a two year old male black loveable lab! WE have been without a lab now since August when our beloved Abby (yellow) died quickly in the night. We hemmed and hawed if we should get a puppy, went back and forth and then on my lunch hour I went into the local shelter (I work right next door to it). There he was...a pure black lab, given up by his owner because he didn't have time to train him...well, his loss or stupidy was OUR gain! Charlie is sooo awesome! He knows basic commands, sit, down, etc...he is soo goofy (anyone who has a lab knows thats a compliment). He is crate trained and seems to be house trained...his ONLY issue is he likes to get on my NEW couch (no no)...and he's a bit of a runner...though we can tackle that with the leash. At any rate I just wanted to share my news...he is sooo funny and loveable! I just want to get OUT of my office and go home and play with him....
Just wanted to share. Hopefully I'll have lots of stories to share with my fellow lab lovers very soon!
