Oh, they must love you. Any thoughts on bringing in a third? We have a black lab (Bella) and a scruffy highly intellectual shelter save (Addy), but if we lived on some acreage instead of right off a 4-lane major highway, I think we might have space for one more, so if that day ever comes, I’ll remember Atlanta.:)

I’d have a 3rd, 4th, 5th if I lived on a farm in the country. Two is about all I can handle in the suburbs. Labs are great, too. My dogs frequently go swimming with a neighbor’s lab in a nearby lake.

It was in a trial about a dog that was killed by a farmer and sued for damages. It is the best description of the dog's loyalty that I have seen other than the writing of Jack London.

this is my dog, alarm system and family protector...

Goldens are the best. There is no better breed for companionship.
