New addition
 

The wife and I went and got ourselves a new addition to the family today.
He's just shy of eight weeks old.
Chocolate lab. We named him Colt Forty Five, seeing we have a Ruger, the name would fit right in.

Aww such a cute lil guy! The fiance has been pestering to get another dog, this won't help the case :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Dogs are cool. He's a cute one. I've noticed you're a night owl zippy. Busy body during the day?

I have a black lab and a chocolate lab, labs are my favorite. Congrats

My own dog is a mutt, but I'm a huge fan of chocolate labs, had a number of them growing up. Congrats!

Pretty much. Up at 4:30- 6:30 am each day, because I'm hurting and go to sleep around 1:00 am. I've got a lot of pain again by the evening and when I go to bed around 10:00 pm, it takes me forever to get the meds to kick in to sleep, or pass out, which ever way you want to look at it.
Four hours is about max for sleep, then I need to get up, and start all over again.
Wife hates it. Every time she rolls over the puter is still on and I'm still awake. Been this way for the last three to four years. It's life, roll with it I guess.:bigthink:

I hear that. Life is what you make it. Either feel sorry for yourself or make the best of your situation. At least you have the right attitude.

Nice dog Zip! I like labs. Been thinking about gettin a dog again, but if I do it's gotta be a truck dog. I'm not ever home, so it'll have to come to the shop with me. Congrats! :beerchug:

Congrats Todd.:beer2:

Good looking lab, great name.

Very nice Todd.:beerchug:

Agreed.:beer2:

Congrats on your new buddy, Todd!

Thought I'd post a week update on Colt 45. Little fart ig growing like a weed, he' a little pistol. (ha, ha)
Retrieving antlers eight out of ten times, comes when asked to, most of the time
Just has this thing about peeing on the floor, take him to his peeing spot, bring him in the house, and he's peeing AGAIN! I think he's going to be a slow learner in the house breaking department. The other two, Gunner and Ruger were kennel trained in 3 and four days, not this one.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Sounds like my wife's dog, her name is Piddles.

Todd,
He's just excited to see ya! :biggrin2: Worse part of a puppy is the house training part. Those are some big paws. Gonna be a brute!

Couple pictures of the little @#%&:biggrin2:
Guard dog duty....
Ok, I had to add a couple of Ruger also. He found his away place in the back of the truck, no puppy here!!
And....

Now that is a cool pic, way to go Todd! :beerchug:

Awesome pics, Todd!

little guys getting bigger
 

Colt's up to 11 weeks old now, getting bigger every day.
Retrieving and sitting are coming along well.

where's his hat?

What a good looking dog Todd! I like Labs. They really are great dogs! :beerchug:

Don't have one small enough:biggrin2:

Thanks Jonathan. He makes the third lab in a row, first chocolate and should be the last.
By the time he's seven when I normally bring in another dog, I'm going to be to worn out to be training another dog. But I think I said that about four weeks ago:biggrin2:

Our new addition... Abby, 5 year old Boston Terrier. We are her forth home in five years. Also a pic with "brother" Bosco. He's 7 1/2 yrs. old.

11 weeks and 4 days old. Growing more every day.
