OP, I knew by the title of your post that it would be about a lab. We got our precious Daisy in September, 2002 at 7 weeks of age and lost her in October, 2015 to cancer. She was a pure bred yellow lab and was stunningly beautiful and she knew it. She was a social butterfly who never needed to be tied up (and never wandered) and we miss her dearly to this day. We will get another lab at some point, but I wanted to say you have a beautiful dog and thank you for sharing your wonderful post!
Thank you!
Boomer never 'wanders' either so to speak. When he's off leash on a trail hike, he never goes more than 25 yards out and constantly checks in on us.
He does like to 'visit' other people in the sites around us though, so he has to be kept on a lead when camping. Not everyone is a *dog person* and with him, it's very easy to tell who is and who isn't.
Sorry that your Daisy went to the Rainbow Bridge.
There's going to be a lot of tears 'round here when Boomie goes.
I specifically waited until my DD was 7 years old to get him.
Hopefully, she will be in her early twenties when he goes and it won't be devastating for her. But I'm not sure it will be any easier.
