Just A Good Old Boy

That's Zeus - just a good old boy. Oh he gave me challenges when he was younger and every so often he tries to pull a fast one, but all in all he's just a good dog. He is that dog that everybody wants...he follows you around, goes with the flow, isn't neurotic or hyper, loves people but yet knows when and how to be protective. In his younger years a couple of my old training friends dubbed him the rottie in the yellow coat...he really was a tough teenager especially for a lab - I just can't believe that was over 13 years ago. He is my first official obedience competition dog, my first cgc and my first (and only) therapy dog and also my first and only yellow dog. At 13 years 7 months and 9 days he is officially the oldest dog I have ever had in my life (and there were a lot). Yesterday I was reminded just how much I love this big old dog...I hope he knows just how much.
