It's a Small World After All

My dog is the biggest, cutest, suck up ever. Seriously!!! All he has to do is bat those big brown eyes at you, and your heart melts. I love him to death!!!

Back in May of 2005 we had to put my other doggie, Duke down because his hips just weren't what they used to be, and he was getting old. It got to the point where he couldn't stand up on his own anymore. It was a terrible weekend. Actually, it was the weekend of the Spring Youth Conference in Moncton. I was worried about Duke all weekend, but i knew he was ok, because my Aunt Sheila and herboyfriend Jim were looking after him for us. Anyway, we got home on Sunday, and with Monday being a holiday, my Mom and Dad took Duke over to Tom Prime's Vet Clinic, and that was the last time i ever saw him... It was really sad, because we got Duke as a puppy when i was about 3 years old. Duke was 3 months old when we brought him home from the SPCA. We practically grew up together, even though he was more of my Dad's dog, then mine. He always followed Dad everywhere. It was cute.

Then, in July of that same year, my Dad had a Dentist appointment at Dr. Joy Graham's office, and wouldn't you know, she was a BIG dog person. She remembered that Dad had said Duke wasn't doing so well the last time he was in, and asked him how he was doing. Dad proceeded to explain what had happened. Suddenly, Dr. Graham was telling dad about this guy she knew who was selling Pure-Bred Labrador Retrievers, and that he still had quite a few left.

That night,we ate supper, Dad called the guy who had the puppies, and then we alll climbed into the Canyon(our truck, in case you didn't know...) and headed for town. When we arrived at this guys house, my Dad climbed out of the truck, and went to introduce himself to this supposedly stranger. Suddenly the man piped up and said "Well if it isn't Hank (my last name)" and my Dad suddenly said "Well Jimmy, How've you been???" It turned out that my Dad and this man had grown up together when they were younger... much younger (ahem... sorry dad:) ) and it had been years since they had seen each other. And if you hadn't figured it out yet, my Dad is practically a spitting image of his father.

Anyway, Jimmy, took us around back to where all the puppies where and we picked Smokey out of the 8 puppies that were there. That night, my Dad went out with his buddies (they do it every thursday night) and me and mom hung out with our new puppy. He was so cute then, and he still is now. I just love him to pieces.
