Oh boy did I Janet!
I now have 2 new black lab dams.
I'm done dog shopping for a LONG time! I hope with the young dogs I have that I don't have to add any more for at least 2-3 yrs. lol
They're nice typical labs, on the smaller side of average, very friendly, affectionate, have good recall and basic manners, and both won me over... for which I'm VERY glad!
He offered me a great deal on the chocolate dam he had too, if I'd take the 3 together, but I figure 5 dams is all I can handle, so I've limited myself to this. I will post photos in the next couple of days.
Right now I'm just very happy and relieved.
Thanks for the good wishes. They worked!
