HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIXON!
I remember the first day we drove to Bowden, Alberta to go and pick him out from a litter of 11 yellow lab puppies that all looked the same with the same almost white markings on both shoulders!
He was the one who walked up to Travis and crawled into his arms and was completely docile with him and Travis said to me... "I think he's the one"
After a little mix up with the collars on a couple of the puppies, we'll never really know if our Nixon was the original Nixon that we picked, but none the less we wouldn't change having him for the world.
Nixon has been a blessing in our lives and despite all the times I cried, wanted to rip my hair out and give him up when he was young and I was often home alone for weeks at a time raising him... he's the perfect dog for us and has grown and matured into a wonderful companion for us! He keeps us entertained and active and always on our toes. He's great to go for walks, runs and bike rides with, he loves the snow and finally loves the water (we weren't sure if he was a real lab for awhile...haha) He loves fruits and veggies and peanut butter and destroying all toys! He loves to play with anyone and anything that will give him the time of day and yet he can be so lazy and we often don't know where he is in the house... he's like a cat... but the size of a small horse! He can often be found curled up on the couch in the basement! He loves to nudge you with his nose as hard as he can until you pet him, specifically when you are sitting on the couch. He also loves car rides and loves to visit his friends at Freedom House. He loves camping and loves going fishing with his Grandpuppy Parents who he loves very much! Sometimes they let him crawl into bed with them!
And we are pretty sure he loves his Mommy and Daddy and we love him very much!
~ Love Mommy & Daddy
