Taking Foster Bro to the Pond.

This is our newest Lowcountry Lab Rescue foster boy, Remington*.  We took him to one of our favorite ponds for a swim. We believe it was a new experience for him, as when he took his first launch he sunk completely underwater for about 3 full seconds (giving us a scare) before coming up and trying to ascertain what just happened.  It did not take long for his lab genes to kick in and within 30 minutes he was swimming around like a fish. 

There was a bunch of this...

And some more tugging over who had the bumper. 

Clearly, two bumpers are better than one. 

*We called our first foster puppy Remmy/Remington, but this is not him - Remmy the pup is living happily in his forever home.

Last weekend of summer = great time to hang out at the beach with your favorite labs.

Zeke morphs into a highly focused retriever at the beach.

Sadie had a great time. 

Zeke and his shamless self promotion ideas.

This is in no way representative of how Zeke feels about Don (the super-duper trail master at Marrington). It was just a convenient spot in the absence of a fire hydrant and mom found it funny. Zeke didn't even know what the sign said until I told him later.

Spoiled or Lazy?

Yesterday I was informed that Zeke slept in the bed till past 11:30 and this morning I find him crashed out on the couch. It must be tough to be Zeke.

Helping Dad Around the House

I like to help Dad work on home projects. He picked up this cool work apron for me at Lowe's.

Sometimes Dad really gets the wood chips flying so I have to have some goggles to keep my eyes clean.

We have lots of fun around the house, I really like it here, especially the yard.

Chillin' with Mr. Miller

It's probably not news to anyone, but it's really really hot outside. We have been trying to beat the heat by playing inside. Our neighbor, Miller, came over to visit some yesterday and we had a good time tugging.

Mom's Working Dog Park Visit

Charleston Animal Society has a Chocolate Lab that was hit by a car on John's Island, they don't know who owns him, he was hurt pretty badly. He was in surgery for 7 hours getting his pelvis bolted back together. If you can help with some cash please donate to Charleston Animal Society, they do really great things there.

Mom is at work today so Dad brought us to the Dog Park, we only stayed about 30 minutes because it was so very hot. Seemed to be lots of Pit Bulls here today, but they were pretty friendly and this guy was good looking for a Pit, I think his name is Phoenix.

Let Zeke Google that for you

We are celebrating at Zeke's house today. Mom just had her first official day as a Googler (well she is still a noogler now) and Zeke just had to try on mom's new hat.

Happy Fourth of July!

This is Josiah, a Lowcountry Lab Rescue foster boy. He was hanging out with us on the fourth for a cookout and lab type fun.
Zeke and Miller spent some play time together yesterday.
Sadie prefers to be patriotic in the shade.
Zeke loves his country!

Just before the lick

After Zeke drinks water out on the trail he likes to give dad a big ol' wet slobbery 'Thank you' lick. He is such a sweet puppy! Happy Father's Day to Zeke and Sadie's dad you are the best - they didn't get you a card but isn't a blog post even better?

Zeke and Dad chilling on the couch and watching the Bravos play. I like how they can share a pillow.
And here is Zeke with his treat from Vermont. Cinna-roos, from Pupcat Bakery, we found them at the farmer's market.

Been trying to post for a couple days but Blogger has been fighting back!

staying over with friends

While Dad and Mom are out of town, Zeke and Sadie are staying over at their lab friends house and they have already been swimming!

Greek Zeke - Lunch with Sarah

Today was Zeke's annual vet checkup and since we had to be up in that part of town Zeke and mom had lunch with their good friend Sarah at the Continental Corner.

Everything looked good for Zeke except he was deemed to be slightly overweight. That is something we are working on.

a few random pictures

I'm just now getting around to figuring out the best way to get pictures transferred off of my new phone so here are a few from a while back:

Zeke with Sunshine, an LLR foster girl, whom we kept for a week while her foster parents went out of town.
