In the months ahead I promise to bring you a variety of useful topics about dogs from a dog's perspective. Hopefully it will help you understand our needs better when it comes to things like health, toys, clothes, and basic equipment. We are a unique niche in the animal kingdom and feel almost as warm and fuzzy about you humans as you do about us. More on that later.
Just a bit about my background so you might get to know me better. Once you know me, you're definitely going to want to spend more time with me. You'll probably bug my Dad to post more pictures of me and tell you more of the stories about our crazy adventures. I was born on Christmas Day in 2009 in Harpursville, New York, at the home of my mid-wife and breeder, Cathy Vavrina. She calls her place Franklin Hill. It's just a few miles northwest of Binghamton, NY. Cathy has been breeding Labrador Retrievers for many years and is truly an expert and conscientious breeder. She interviewed my human parents when they expressed an interest in getting a dog from her, to make sure they were the right kind of responsible dog owners to whom she could entrust one of her dogs. Dad apparently came down initially and met my soon-to-become dog parents, Cargo and Trouble. Cargo (the Sire as we refer to our male parent) is a big Yellow Lab with a broad chest and a very deep voice. Trouble (the Dam) is a svelte Black Lab who didn't live up to that name. She's retired now as Cathy doesn't breed her female dogs more than two or three times. As I said, she's a very responsible breeder.

Well, that's enough of an introduction for now. We hope you'll return for more information you can use as you live and work with your own dogs. Dad and I hope you'll find education as well as some entertainment in these pieces, so visit us often and don't forget to check out Dad's store at
