Sunday, Yellow Lab Sunday

Because he's a Ranch Dog who is as handsome as handsome can be, because he's strong to his credit and sensitive to a fault, because he has perfect nails that never need cutting, because the cows put their big wet noses through the fence to sniff his mug, because he's a good boy but my friend's father refers to him as farthead, because I love to refer to him as strappingly handsome and I don't know what that means exactly but I know it's him, because he answers to Sue, because he saved my girl's life six years ago, because he's a natural blond, and because he makes it easy to take pictures like this, he's the perfect dog.

I know you wish he was yours. But you can't have him, he's theirs. And he's Cheyenne's. And some weekends, he's mine. We all love him very much. Look at him! How could you not love him?

Ghost - He ran back to our cabin and barked and barked. We noticed there was no Cheyenne with him. He ran back to the river and there we found her. She had fallen off the side and there was an alligator eyeing her. We go there just in time. True story.

He's a beautiful animal, and I'm SO impressed with his heroics! It's so amazing to me that dogs have the instinct to go get help from their people.
