Just thought I’d post a picture of my new 1 ½ year old Lab. As many of you know I had to put down my 17 year old male Lab in April of this year. I was on the fence about getting one and this “little” girl just needed a home so my wife and I adopted her.

It’s weird how sometimes things just happen for no apparent reason. Case in point my wife and I were driving home from breakfast last weekend and I drove by the local shelter to see if they had any pups and they didn’t. The guy asked me what I was looking for and I told him a Lab puppy and he took my phone number down. Then low an behold not four days later a friend of the family was in the local vet clinic talking about how her friend has suddenly passed away at 45 and she had a full blooded Lab that needed a home. How could the wife and I pass up on a full blooded Lab that has all her shots, been fixed and came with a crate & boat loads of toys?? The only problem I see so far is that she was spoiled like a Princess so I have to bring her down a couple of notches. Anyways here she is and her name is Maggie May and with a name like that she had to be spoiled?

MAGGIE MAY Lyrics

(Rod Stewart / Martin Quittenton)

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you

It's late September and I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone

You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age

But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything

I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax

Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand

But you turned into a lover and

mother what a lover, you wore me out

All you did was wreck my bed

and in the morning kick me in the head

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone

You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school

Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand

Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me

But I'm as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home one of these days

JonR

She is a ball of energy!! I just weighed her and she's 88lbs!! I was told her mom & dad were huge so I guess that's why.

Great looking dog Eddie. Nice job on the rescue.

Mine is not quite 1 1/2 and 75 lbs. She is already bigger than her mom.
