Labs do seem to come in two varieties - empathetic and hard-headed. I have one that's both empathetic and VERY good at stealing food. Shelley the chocolate. She jumped up, hooked her elbows in the sink, and pulled herself up far enough to eat a big bite out of a cake layer (one of 3) cooling right up against the backsplash. I caught her in the act and she looked rather proud of herself than otherwise.

Katy just steals socks out of the laundry and brings them to me.

Ruby steals kleenex out of the trash cans. And Puppy Roca out of the cat box.

Labs are weird.

Excerpt:

Renewing Catholic Higher Education September 21, 2010
Dear Friend in Christ:

Just hours before John Henry Newman’s beatification — Pope Benedict XVI visited Newman’s private quarters at the Birmingham Oratory.

We have for you an EXCLUSIVE VIDEO of what he saw there, filmed during my own visit to the Oratory last December.

**VIDEO

http://cardinalnewmansociety.org/NewmanLegacyProject/NewmanLegacyProjectTheArchive/tabid/730/Default.aspx

And because what the Holy Father saw is so important, I urge you to watch this video and pass on this letter to your family and friends!

Let me tell you, the beatification Mass was splendid… and I was there, praying for the intentions of all of our supporters who sent them in over the last few weeks!

But today I have an urgent request, because Newman’s reputation and important work are under attack.

We need your very special donation today to help preserve Blessed John Henry Newman’s legacy!

You see, there are many leading activists and agenda-driven scholars who want to claim this most holy priest for their secular, heterodox cause, as if Newman would be opposed to the renewal in the Church that Pope Benedict is leading. Some are even shamelessly promoting the idea that Cardinal Newman was actively homosexual. Nothing could be more false!

In fact, this is all OUTRAGEOUS! Pope Benedict himself has said that Blessed Newman “left us an outstanding example of faithfulness” and “lived an exemplary priestly life.”

And Newman described his own life’s work as the fight against Liberalism — by which he meant a kind of secularism that doubts the Truth of God and pushes Christianity to the margins of education and society.

Sound familiar?

It is this same secularism which The Cardinal Newman Society fights today on Catholic college campuses, and which pervades American culture.

That is why Blessed John Henry Newman is so important today, and we need your help to protect his authentic legacy!

Our cat box is in the utility room, with a baby gate in the doorway so the cat can get under and the dogs can't.

Ruby can flatten herself like a wharf rat to wiggle under it, but that takes time . . . .

LOL, yeah I even have a baby gate at the doorway myself. But normally I close it only when I leave the house. Reckon that’s gotta change, dangit.

I’m no dog expert, but for a family, they seem like the perfect breed.

Same here. We love our lab. BTW, I read that the Labrador retriever is the most popular breed in the world right now.

They're great pups.

Katy did indeed pass her tests both days this past weekend with flying colors (including Sunday in the POURING rain!) to gain her Started Hunting Retriever title in HRC/UKC.

Film of Katy's first water bird on Saturday

Miss Ruby took leave of her senses and blew her water test on the first day and her land blind on the second. Bless her heart, she's my ADHD poster child, but she loves retrieving SO much that we'll just continue to work along. She has to settle down eventually, maybe at age 10?
