Chris and I consider ourselves very fortunate to
have found such a good dog. Blake, formerly known as Magic, is our
energetic and playful four-pawed baby. His burn has healed so
well that the fur is starting to slowly grow back and the vet is quite
happy with his progress.
His potty training is still on its way and we will be putting him in
puppy school soon (mostly designed for daddies like us). He has
successfully worked his way into all of our hearts and finds a home in
many of our friends' hearts as well. He has been introduced to our
family but they haven't all met him yet. It's like having a newborn,
people come out of the woodwork just to see the puppy. They even
offer to walk him.
The most common comment for Blake is the size he's going to be.
He has a huge set of paws and a heavy step. His kind and soulful eyes
are hard to resist and his demeanour is difficult to ignore. Snuggle
time is just as fun as running through the park with this little guy,
even when he's naughty and tries to eat things off the ground.
Typical Labrador, a stomach on paws.
Thank you to the staff and volunteers at the SPCA for taking such good
care of this little guy.
He's now home.
Update May '16
Blake is our happy and playful little man who has joined us on many
holidays and adventures. Our friends and family love having him around
and he's a great help in the garden. He loves to swim and plays with
friends from the neighbourhood and at Dog's at Camp, the off leash
kennel we use. He's a bright and happy dog which we love very much. He
is still very much all stomach and paws. He has grown as an
affectionate companion. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have
him in our lives.
As you can tell from this photo Blake loves the snow. He will stay out
all day in the freezing cold if you let him and then sleep on his spot
on the sofa for a good rest. You may remember Blake with the burn on
his back, it doesn't bother him in the slightest. The scar has
remained and the fur grew back only a little but it is mostly bare.
Summer time he gets sunscreen but the cold doesn't bother him at all.
We just wanted you all to know he is doing well and we appreciate the
good work you do, placing these pets in good homes.
