Harry

Well, after a week of having Harry in our house, we have decided that it feels as if he has been with us forever! He is an amazing dog, and I can't imagine that someone isn't missing him terribly. He is friendly and outgoing, if not a little excitable. (I think his excitement may scare some of the smaller dogs on our street!) He loves to play with the neighborhood kids, and thinks that "fetch" is the greatest thing in the world. He responds VERY well to all kinds of commands including: sit, stay, come, bring, give, and down. He pretty much does whatever we tell him to do! He does have a little issue with running out the front door, especially if someone is outside. But I think that's just because he loves to play and wants to see his friends. At any rate, the electric fence that's being installed on the 22nd will help with that!
Here's a funny story for you. Yesterday Frank and I were out back helping FH learn to ride his bike without training wheels. (Which is also VERY exciting!!!) We had Harry tied up to the deck on his leash so he could be outside with us. FH went down the hill in our back yard into our neighbor's yard at a pretty good rate of speed and got pretty nervous. So Frank and I both ran down to help him, and the next thing I know, Harry is running around my legs. In about 2.2 seconds that dog chewed RIGHT THROUGH HIS LEASH!!!! Thankfully that was the one that the Humane League had given us and I had bought an extra one. Everyone who hears that we have a Lab says, "Oh, they're big chewers!" We haven't seen any of that until the leash incident. (Yea for that!) And the 2 foot long bone that the kids picked out for him should help out a little, too! So here are a few pictures from this weekend...lots of fun for us!
Enjoy!!!
