Since Parker died, we have been missing him so much. @Nyboy graciously offered a Golden Retriever puppy, but my husband desperately wanted a Lab, and only a black Lab. @Nyboy offered one of his Cavalier puppies and I was thrilled to accept. Our Aussie, Polly, died in my arms last summer and she was my girl. She took every step I did. She loved me fiercely and her going left a hole in my heart.

BJ was happy for me, but still wanted a Lab. Unknown to him, I joined 6 Facebook groups, followed 3 County pound Facebook sites and haunted Craigslist nightly. All kinds of mixes, crossed with everything but a skunk. Gheesh people! Haven’t you ever heard of spay and neuter?

Last week I did a Lab search on Craigslist and an ad popped up. I nearly fell out of my decorating mistake recliner. It was an ad for Lab/Great Dane puppies! And they were black, just like Parker! I showed it to BJ and he got so excited, then started tearing up thinking about Parker, which both of us still do.

I contacted the lady and we went two days later and got one. Both parents were on site and loved members of the family. It was a “oops” spay and neuter soon to follow.

His name is Carson. BJ is thrilled.

Carson is learning his name, sit, come, hungry, water and house training. We walk him on a leash, there is so much to get into and he doesn’t yet understand that COME is nonnegotiable. LOL

Trip is treating him like a annoying little brother.

What kind of grown dog will that mix be? I am thinking a 6 foot tall lab. Well, both good natured dogs.. Better photograph it every hour or so or it will be all grown up! What love.

Parker was a Lab/Great Dane cross, he was tall and weighed 105 pounds.

You mean HIS recliner

He loves to sleep in my lap. So did Parker, only when he laid his head on my chest and snuggled down, his back feet were on the floor. LOL

Last night, Carson was jumping around and on Trip, who was laying on the floor. Finally with a loud growl, Trip snapped at Carson. Carson let out a scared yelp, ran for me, by the second yelp he was in my lap. We sure laughed at that!

SOOOO happy for you!!! I agree, COME is non negotiable. Just got a puppy, too, and she has figured out that "Pyg" (10yo in about a month) should be followed and she now comes running when I call. The outside poo potty is still in progress, but no peeing inside, just one accident with that first week.
