Eight Essential Characteristics of my Yellow Lab Puppy Opal
Sunday, March 9th, 2008
1. She’s fascinated with poop of all kinds(except her own)–cat poop, other dog’s poop, horse poop, deer poop.
2. She likes to play fetch with five foot branches.
3. Everything goes right into her mouth. This includes plastic bags, clam shells, poisonous berries, and Matchbox cars.
4. Her bark sounds like a squeak toy.
5. She thinks everyone is entitled to give her affection.
6. If she’s not being lavished with attention, she barks at you.
7. The sight of the leash sends her into spasms of joy.
8. Looking at her lovely face causes you to have a “cute attack” and you can’t resist repeating her name in a high-pitched, sing-songy voice: “Ooohhh-puhl, Ooohhh-puhl.”
