Supspecies: Canis lupus familiaris - Labrador Retriever

1 : The dog is a mammal in the order Carnivora. Dogs were first domesticated from wolves at least 17,000 years ago.
2 : Dogs, like humans, are highly social animals and this similarity in their overall behavioral pattern accounts for their trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations. This similarity has earned dogs a unique position in the realm of interspecies relationships.
3 : She is my world.

I had just purchased a house at the beginning of July and was in the process of painting the inside of the entire thing. Little did I know that puppies really have no concept of paint and that black puppies and white paint tend to clash.

As a Labrador Retriever, Maxine of course needed to be introduced to water. She absolutely hated it at first. Wouldn't go near it. Balked every time we got near the pool. Then one day it just clicked. And now I can't keep her out of it.

Oddly enough this photo best represents what Max looks like now. A fairly tiny Lab. Just what I wanted.
