I am still learning about my adopted dog, Shorty. This is our first summer together. My other black lab, Sammy, used to love the hose. As soon as the hose came out, he started “attacking” the water.

All my black labs have been male, so I have the hardest time calling my Shorty “She”.

Shorty takes it a step further, she “attacks” the water coming out of the sprinkler. She was soaken wet! O well, she had fun.

We have had three dogs for the last number of years. These three dogs all basically behaved the same way, and they got along fabulously. When our 14 year old Dukie (a Black Lab) left us we got Shorty, a 3 year old Black Lab from the Humane Society. Dukie was 100 pound male and Shorty is a 55 pound female.An adopted dog was a new experience for me. I always believed that all Black Labs behave the same way. Wrong! Shorty did everything different from my previous three black labs. Shorty’s owner died, that’s why she was at the Humane Society.
