Hammering Hank a Special Needs Pup

 

We lost our beloved Georgie the end of August and it is because of our love for Georgie that we sought another LOLIN lab. We were thrilled to think we were adopting one lab but when we visited Foster Fairy Godmother Leslie, Hammering Hank was clearly our special needs lab. He was special and we needed him. He even greeted us at the door! Hank leads a purpose driven life in walking his people and he makes us laugh. He sleeps on our couch on his back with his feet in the air. Hank was listed on LOLIN's adoption page as Hank the Wonder Dog and he indeed is a wonderful dog. Driving home from adopting Hank we saw a rainbow so we are sure that Georgie approves. We can not thank LOLIN enough for all that they do because it is their help that helps to make our family complete. Hanks loves trips in the car, marshmallows and chewies and his new family - Melissa, Sean and kitty siblings MuShoo and Sammy. We are family!

Cooper's Happy Tail

We've had Cooper (formerly Brewster) for almost 8 months now. He settled very quickly and easily into our family. It's hard to imagine this lovable guy ever had it rough. Before coming to LOLIN, he suffered a factored pelvis. Our vet has checked him out and declared him all healed. He loves to go on walks or light runs. You can see the happiness in his face as he looks back at us excitedly as we're making our trek around the neighborhood.

Our two daughters are definitely his best buddies. Cooper's favorite game is "Cooper Tag". The girls run around the yard calling him and he happily chases after them. They all have a blast.

When he's not playing with us he enjoys basking in the sun, trying to steal one of the girls' stuffed animals or chewing on one of his bones. And he still hasn't given up hope that our 9 pound cat will someday become his playmate! I mean, what's not to love?

We lost our last Lab, Millie, last fall. Her death left quite a void in our lives. Cooper has brought us so much happiness. It's hard not to smile when he rolls over to show his belly with what looks like a big goofy grin on his face!

Thanks, LOLIN, for allowing us to adopt Cooper! He is so deserving of his new life. We love him!

First Boat Ride

As promised, here is a picture of Jack (our adopted) on his first boat ride. He did great even after jumping into the lake!  But isn't that what labs do?  He is a joy.
