Sorry that i have been inactive in the forum for so long, after all i am a junior in high school and that means truck - oops - TRAIN loads of homework so i finally got a break after the six - weeks ended. well anyway, i don't know if i have mentioned it or not, but i have a 6 yr. old chocolate labrador retriever, and he's not show material (many people would say he is), but he is absolutely the best pet i have ever had, we love each other so much... every night he sleeps on my bed (i had a twin and that was big enough, but then he grew, and refused to sleep on the floor, so we had to buy me a Queen sized bed, and in the winter,that is still not enough), wakes me and my dad up, by licking us untill we let him out the front door to fetch the paper - i could go on and on, but the story i really want to tell is this: <br /> <br /> in 7th grade i went to a boarding school for two years, and during the first year, my mother died, so during the day, Jake (my dog) was left at home all alone, and was not given as much attention because my dad would have to bring his work home with him (he designs infared sensors for night vision systems at DRS technologies www.drs.com ), so Jake was lonely, and started chewing on his tail, so one day i come home for a visit, and Jake is SOOO happy to see me that he whacks his tail on a wall so hard that it starts bleeding, so we have this tail going 100 mph, flinging blood all over the house. well it never fully healed, because he kept chewing it, and the vet wanted to cut 6 - 9 inches off so he couldn't chew it, but i was coming home for good in a coupple of weeks, so my dad said to leave it, we will see what happens when i came home. <br /> <br />well, within a week of me coming home, Jake had completely stopped chewing his tail, and guess what? the vet said that he has NEVER seen anything like it (a dog stopping chewing on his tail because someone had come home)!!! Jake had been chewing on his tail because he missed me, and had been depressed!!! a trait not often seen in dogs. <br /> <br />well, moral of the story is that dogs (esp. Labs) are great pets, and if given lots of attention, can be the best companion, you will ever have, and will bring you many great years of joy and friendship. <br /> <br />May The Force Be With Ya'll
