When our children were small, my husband’s parents owned a wonderful black lab named Charlie. He was a patient and loving friend to our son and daughter. Whenever I think of Charlie, I remember him lying patiently while my children adorned him with daisies all down his back. What a sweet dog!

… oh, and his name is Tynan. That’s Gaelic for ‘the dark one’.
Although I’ve bred, raised and exhibited Shetland Sheepdogs for over 35 years, my parents had Labs, and now in retirement I admit to currently having a black one. My Shelties were always sweet and gentle, but in a perky, petite way. My 90 lb. Lab is also sweet and gentle… but in a lumbering, goofy way. He’s very comfortable to live with. 🙂
Wonderful, friendly dogs. 🙂
They surely are a beautiful dog, those labs. Hugs to Maggie Mae, Kathryn!
Oooohhhh Labs! Our beautiful black girl, Maggie Mae, just turned three on St. Pats and has yet to meet another soul she does not adore. Labs – God’s way of spreading unconditional love. 🙂
