I love that photo/image - the dog and boy are comfortable in each other's company. My cousin who died was a hunter and had black labs most of his early years and into his 30s. Champion hunting dogs, it was a big deal (my late uncle was a game warden, so hunting really was in the family). The domesticated dog really does crave that proximity that was in your photo. Don't have to be touching, just nearby.

I spoke to a friend today who did the Atkins diet - he basically presented a cautionary tale of not getting so carried away that there are no carbs, or you'll starve your brain! Good to know - don't want the bloodsugar too low.

I have a few things for eBay and I'll write the descriptions but I'm going to set them to start at predetermined times, to space them out. Just because I list a bunch all on one day doesn't mean they need to end all on that same day.
