I've noticed at off-leash parks all the labs gather together, like a club :-)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-852727397519133472010-03-28T06:51:05.855+10:002010-03-28T06:51:05.855+10:00I thought of you today while I was at a chess tour...I thought of you today while I was at a chess tourny with my boys at our local middle school. And, it is related to this post. The tourny takes place in the cafetorium. Towards the end of round 2, two dogs entered from stage left, nosed around on stage, exited via the front steps, sniffed around the lingering (hard thinking) chess games, and were corraled by a couple of kids, who I don't think belong to the dogs. No one said anything about the sudden dog appearance, where they came from, why they were there, or where they went. It's sort of a mystery, don't you think? If I guessed the breeds right, they were a Golden Retriever and a black lab. Wonder what they were up to?Mary Aalgaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051735579638637382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-29854169116615316132010-03-27T07:11:27.919+10:002010-03-27T07:11:27.919+10:00Charmain, thank you for giving me a Silver Lining ...Charmain, thank you for giving me a Silver Lining award.
