I am currently reading “Marley and Me” by Grogan. We currently have a yellow lab and and her undying love is neverending. This is one of the great qualities of a lab. They love to give and receive endless love. Matter of fact, Madison, just nudged my hand to be petted and remind me that she is here. Interestingly enough, her nose is not gentle, it is quite the weapon. In other words...Madison does not nudge. Her nose is a torpedo that strikes with great force. It always hits its mark.
I used to get quite annoyed with Madison and her need for attention. I have since discovered that she has no agenda. Her love has not ulterior motive, it is an automatic response that continues on and on. I have since grown to appreciate Madison. Madison is the most stable being in our home.
It's good to have a dog.
