Great photos! Thanks for sharing. I don't have a huge budget and most of my guns are well worn, but those are the ones that are great shooters

What a wonderful Granddaughter!! Does my heart good. Thank You!

Yea, I like the gun too! and a priceless gift, but tell me a little about that black lab in the picture, they are great dogs, I have had the good fortune to share time here on earth with several, Gary

The Lab
 

The black lab's name is Bud. He will be 11 in October. He believes himself to weigh only 9 lbs (he only weighs 90 haha) and prefers to be in your lap. I will never be without a Labrador. He is the only one I've owned. My husband rescued him when he was a year old. One problem - he has no intentions of retrieving. But he does love to fish and he loves his Momma!! Thanks for asking about him - didn't realize he snuck into any pictures. But he's always at my side. Here is one I snapped of him a few months ago. He doesn't look his age at all.

We too have a rescue black lab and love him. He is curled up next to my desk as I write this

I am also fortunate to have a "velcro" lab as a friend. Pepper is three, 55 lb and just loves to retrieve but mostly to just to be with me

This is miss Jolie, She does love a frisbie, Notice in the upper left hand corner of the photo is the stone we placed for Miss Mattie 15yrs who passed last April 29. Jolie is 11months old the 13th of this month, Life demands a lab, to keep things in order, Gary

Wonderfully stated!!! I grew up with springers ans setters.When we came to live "out back" in SC we got Dobermans and have had them for 30 years. I still love my Dob, but nothing is as loving and special as a Lab.
