Lions, Tigers and Bears .... Oh My

Well, not quite. Yesterday it rained all day and not just little sprinkles, these were big heavy rain drops! So, this morning we all rushed out to check on the newly planted garden and the first thing we saw were big, deep, muddy tracks... next was to figure out what ferocious animal left them. We didn't have to look far, it was right behind us, a big, furry... Labrador.



It was so funny, we were all making jokes about the prints and all three kids said" mom, you gotta blog about this." So I am.



Cisco is our beloved lab whom we have had for about 5 years. We bought him for the kids when he was only 6 weeks old so he really is part of our family and we are his family for sure! Although he was a gift to them he immediately decided he was my dog. He follows me everywhere all day long. He has the temperament and behavior most days of a toddler. He has his own toys and knows when one is missing. As you can see he sleeps on the floor but has a pillow and blanket. One thing you may find funny/alarming is Cisco learned how to open the refrigerator when he was only 2 years old. Can you imagine? Not pretty. We now have a baby lock on the refrigerator and a sash lock on the pantry, he learned to open that when he was only 1. Labs are very smart!

How about you, Does your family have a beloved pet?
