My first lab was so awesome. I liked to take him to a ball field about a block away from the house a few times a week. It was across a busy street and I had taught him not to cross without me. We would do a little training and then he would hunt for baseballs in the greenbelt along the side of the field. I had a good size collection of baseballs. One night on the way back from the field I noticed the neighbors Kids were playing with a couple of lab pups so I stopped to offer them a couple of the days trophies. As soon as the father noticed Raven(AKC Sneaky Ray Vaugh) sitting next to me He shook his head and let me know this new dog thing was all my fault. This was the first time I had ever talked to these people and somehow I was to blame for them buying two dogs. He then explained that while I was away at work most days that Raven would jump 3 of the neighbors fences to play with his kids in the backyard and hang out IN their house. When he herd my truck come home he would race back to my backyard and wait for me at the back gate where I would let him in for the night. After almost a year of this the dad agreed the kids could have A dog. After seeing the litter both boys picked out A pup. Still miss that dog
