This male chocolate Labrador looked bedraggled in the shelter - No one would adopt the large size adult male with that dirty shaggy & patchy coat. Rescued by LILRR, the gentle giant settled easily into the foster home and relished diligent grooming and being vaccuum brushed. One day someone saw his picture on the website and arranged to meet him. Max had always been very good with everyone he met during foster care, but when he met this person, he just melted ... instant admiration - instant respect. Seems the feeling was mutual ;-) A much healthier and better groomed Max went to his own forever family to enjoy and share life with - as well as 100% couch privileges!
~ This new life suits Max just fine ... just fine indeed ~
Update from Max - May 17, 2000
Well, I've been living in the Big Apple with my new Mom for almost a year. There's so many people to look at, so many smells to sniff, and so many dogs to say hi to. One of my favorite things is when Mom takes me with her when she does her errands. We go to the video store, the drycleaners, the bank, the pet shop, and everywhere we go, they give me treats because they say I'm so handsome and good. Mom rolls her eyes but she calls me her angel even when I wake her up every morning at 5:00 a.m. for my walk and breakfast. She says I must be a morning kind of guy. She laughs when I try and get in the shower with her or when she finds me sleeping in the bathtub.
When she goes to work, she tells me my job is to watch the house, which I do -- horizontally -- from the couch until my friend Michael comes at 11:00 for my walk. Then when Mom comes home, she brushes me and we go for a walk. Sometimes Mom lets me sleep with her, but she says I take up the whole bed. And then I have this habit of rolling over in my sleep right off the side, so sometimes I just sleep on my pillow. Mom says I make a big thump, but I never hear anything.
I'm real excited cause we're moving next week to a new house right across the street from a big, dog friendly Park. There's lots of trees and grass and flowers and other dogs there. Me and Mom will be able to take long walks there in the nice weather.
Mom says I'm the best chocolate Lab in the universe and she doesn't know what she'd do without me. That makes me happy.
