GOODBYE ERNIE (1998-2013)

Gee...only 9 days ago he was a black lab. What's up with that? Did he die of eating too much spam? That could make him change colors.

Good catch! Sharp eyes Ragman.

yeh, a brown lab is called a chocolate and they are easy to tell from black.

This 'Dead or Alive' site lists people who've died, it's like a never-ending conveyor belt with name after name, reminding us all once again that we're all riding it too.
Hey, I see Pa Walton has died (Ralph Waite)-

Now there is a "Grey" or "Silver" Lab.

Beautiful dogs.

Maybe 100 years from now Silver Labs will have reduced the perils of inbreeding, but now, I'm not buying it any more than so-called Chocolate Labs.

Had a golden lab as part of our "pk" maybe 10 years ago. It was a great dog, just not that bright (Course the other dogs were border collies and the Catahoula).
WHile the collies and the catahoula were all business, the lab always wanted to be with us..

FWIW, if you had a thread like Edgar's where you just had amusing stories of your pets (both past and present) and other everyday domestic stories and/or recipes, I'm sure more than a few A2K-ers would find it entertaining.

Of course, this is coming from a guy that can watch Big Bang Theory repeat shows multiples times, so consider the source. If you ever decide to do this, allow me to be your typos editor. (chuckle)

P.S. As you may or may not recall, I'm a huge Border Collie fan and (now) former doggy daddy of one whose name is Brady.
