The 1st Official Playdate!!!


Leah and I both have new puppies and it is funny because they are only a week apart in age although her female black lab (named Dakota) is almost double the size of Ginger (my female yellow lab). Dakota's parents were both very large/tall labs and after seeing the size of Dakota's paws I think she'll be BIG too! Leah called me astonished to tell me at her 10-week check-up the vet weighed Dakota and she was 19 pounds already...Ginger is 9-weeks old now and has barely cracked the 10-pound mark!!! Since the day Leah brought Dakota home (one day after I'd brought Ginger home) when we first introduced them they haven't played together until today (Saturday May 24th), It was funny because Dakota was ready to start tackling but Ginger was a big sissy...she kept hiding under anything she could find. Finally, about an hour into the play session she began to get a bit more daring and aggressive...Dakota and Ginger both played very well together!!! Meanwhile Leah's 3 kids were throwing the ball for Baylie who was loving all the playtime without little Ginger under her feet! After all was said and done we had three VERY tired dogs...can't wait for Memorial day because we're gonna get together again and Vanessa is going to bring her 2 boxers, Otis and Sammy!!! The puppies will be out numbered with 3 full size dogs running around!
