December 27, 2009 – The Life of a Lab is inspirational. Every day is a good day, mud and rain and snow are cause for joy, as is all manner of food, and all people. This is a breed that knows how to live well in the world, and that triggers love and appreciation in humans wherever they go. This shot was not taken today, which is cold, rainy and yukky, but last week. I always look at Lenore when I need to smile, and I always smile. It is her power.
