I went to an adoption event last month looking for cat, and a sixty-pound six month old black lab put me in a headlock and showered me with dog love. I said "Well, maybe I should think about a dog." Well, I didn't end up with the black lab because she preferred to be in a home with other dogs, and we really only have space for one (and long term probably one cat). But the pet rescue group called me up and said "Hey we just got this yellow lab. She's only 40 pounds and she's used to being an only dog. And she likes cats. Whaddya say?"
Well, they brought her right over to our house within hours of when she'd been surrendered, and it was just like some kind of magic happened. She just knew she was home.
People ask me "Is she friendly," and I just laugh and say "Oh please. She is the ambassador of love!" She loves every living creature. People, cats, squirrels, birds, skunks. I take her to the Petco, and she loves all the parakeets and the hamsters and whatever else they have in there.
And she's a swimmer! Oh you should see her swim. I tell my friends she's trying to evolve into a marine mammal.
More later. Trying to upload a photo.
