A pic of dh and our Lab Dakota. A backstory for those who don't know....We had a Lab named Timber, and our parents had her brother Dakota from the same litter.

In February of 2007, 3 yr old Timber started limping, and we found out she had cancer in her leg. We ended up having to let her go in June of 2007, and that is where Dakota came in.

My parents were looking to rehome him, but hadnt done so as they wanted to know they could trust the new owners. Well some awesome friends of mine from a Lab forum, and the kit sale donations of some awesome designers here made it possible to do a 2 day, 1500 mile transport from Nebraska to Florida.

Dakota has now been with us for a year and a half, and is quite spoiled. Journaling reads:

When you first came to us from Nebraska, you were very unsure of Dad. It took a good couple of months before you were be able to look at him without growling. Boy did that change!!
Now whenever he goes outside or just into another room with the door shut, you will stand outside the door and whine till you see him again. Who would of that you would become such a Daddy’s Boy?!
