Bentley from Alabama

We were approved to foster in September 2011 & received 54 lb "Dustin" from an Alabama shelter later that month. We re-named him Bentley, after the governor of Alabama (Robert Bentley). A few weeks later a coworker came to meet Bentley. He wanted to adopt a Lab for his son. The minute he left we broke down & agreed there was no way we could let OUR Bentley go.

We were foster failures.

But we can't imagine life without Bentley. He immediately got obedience training & settled into a routine with us. He is full of energy & goes to the dog park or on a jog with us every day. He has never met a stranger, he sometimes thinks he is a lap dog, & he now weighs almost 80 lbs! He's such a smart boy, never misses a beat, & gets compliments on how good looking he is everywhere he goes. He likes to be the center of attention!

We know Bentley would have gone to a great home, but we are so happy to have him in our home. Thank you Love of Labs!

Our New Baby

Buddy is loving life and is very well behaved. After a week I can barely move my shoulder from playing so much ball with him. He goes so often and for so long that I really don't know what I would have done with a puppy. This guy is 6 years old! And he loves the pond outback. He hasn't even discovered the other 8 ponds on the place yet. Gracie, who doesn't like any other dogs, has become his little pal. They trade food bowls and beds but he sets boundaries on his ball. He's serious about that.

He loves it here on the farm. And we love him. And Gracie almost loves him, lol.

Thanks for our new baby....

Definitely being loved!

Just wanted to let you know that Grover had two amazing days!  He was busy helping me plant flowers yesterday and we have found he absolutely loves being out side every chance he has.  We had so much fun watching him play with his new toys.  I love the way he throws things up and catches them. The moose was his favorite and he already has half of him chewed up. He scarfed his food down yesterday and this morning but tonight seemed to actually take a breath between gobbles. We have found out how much he likes to have his tummy rubbed! Yesterday he was on the go all day and slept good in his kennel throughout the night and no accidents in the house.  He has been adjusting to his leash during walks and I am sure he will have the hang of it in no time.  He is very curious along the way with all the newness.  Thanks again for fostering him, without you guys we wouldn't have the joy of having him.  He is definitely being loved!
