New family memeber

So here I am 110 miles offshore standing by waitin on daylight so we can get back to offloading and my fiancé sends me a text asking me which I would rather have for my birthday, a yeti cooler or a puppy. I tried to be reasonable until she sent me the pic of the dog and I just fell in love w/ the puppy. It's an AKC registered black lab!!!! Microchipped, health clearances, dew claws removed. Name is Coal. Few months I'll take him to the trainer who also happens to be friends w/ my duck huntin buddies. Get him schooled up on retrieving in huntin situations. Not too worried about field trials. He's gonna be a duck retrieving, boat, truck, Polaris ridding, woods walking big buddy.

Does anybody know how to resize a pic so I can post it? Thank you

That's very exciting for you! I love labs! Sounds like he is going to have a great owner!

Found this that might help you start out right with savings!!!!

Thank you,

Awww, cool! Labs are so awesome!!

Labs are lovely dogs. Congrats!

Sure hope he likes hunting. Friend of mine got a lab for hunting and the dog runs for the hills when the gun is shot and thinks ducks are his friends!

Oh no! So much for that idea!

Congrats on the new doggie.. I use Tinypic to upload photos on here.

He's gonna be a big dog, had his second parvo shot today @ 9 weeks old he's 22 1/2lbs

Even if he turns out to just be a big baby that's ok too

I think labs are the most adorable puppies.

22.5 lbs!!!!! You have a lion cub!!!!!

Happy Congratulations! I'm a big fan of black labs (having had a few black lab mixes). Always a willing companion in play and outdoor exploration. I love their happiness in and around water, including snow. Have fun with Coal! (I think you should call him Yeti )

22.5 lbs at 9 weeks is crazy! My GSD was only 11 lbs and he is 100 now at a year.

Congratulations on the new family member and hopefully he works out as a hunting buddy.

Finally got to meet him 6 days ago. Went duck watching (not huntin bc season is out) was seeing lot of birds flying and finally got a chance to see what the bottoms were like flooded, stayed in there for a couple hours until I just couldn't stand it no more. Had to go meet Coal. For the whole time I was home we wernt apart more than 4-5 hours at a time and that's just when it was time for bed and we were at my fiancé's house. When we spent the night at my house he would either sleep on the floor beside the couch where I sleep or he would sleep w/ me on the couch. He loves ridding in the truck and Polaris normally in my lap. He took to water like a duck.

I can finally load pics so here we go 20160419/ae493b62e765a8f3d194e353187e6aab.jpg ]

What a great looking dog, love the yawn pic.

Aw! Perfect! Loads of fun ahead for you all!
