Cowboy up!

Today's adventure was visiting the parents of our future puppy! This is Cowboy.

Cowboy is a chocolate Labrador Retriever. He fathered the litter that our puppy will be selected from. Here's a prettier shot of him from last fall:

Here's the dam, Montana. I couldn't get a picture of her today because the other dogs kept getting in shot.

If all goes well, they'll produce an even-tempered black female who will join our family in April.

They were both such good dogs. Cowboy's tail was wagging so hard and broad that I was afraid he would injure himself. His owner said he had been known to, in the past! Happy to a fault. Montana was sweet and easygoing.

We're pretty excited!
