The gorgeous Lab girl who can be found warming hearts and sofas at John and Deb’s house these days is the lovely Ms. Charlotte. After some time on the streets, five-year-old Charlotte is relishing her new role as well-loved family Lab. Her fabulous new family also includes a couple of feline siblings, and a horse, of course. “Who knew life could be so grand?”, the divine Ms. C asks herself each and every morning as she stretches and greets the new day from the comfort of her forever home.
Charlotte’s new dad, John, tells their story:
Well, here we go. As the (my) saying goes; “Every Labrador is wonderful, one is just different from another, and everyone knows theirs is the best!”
Charlotte is a fourth generation Labrador rescue for Deb and myself, and after Lucy’s (#3) passing in September another search began. Our search was extensive spanning several months and with a number of rescues. Emails and photos of our previous “perfect girls” had been shared with the Safe Harbor Adoption Team and when Charlotte appeared on their website, we set the wheels in motion and trekked to Denver as our girl had been located and we could call her our own. A special thanks to Mike, her foster Dad, for his accurate portrayal of this girl and directions to his home. Charlotte, of course, was thrilled with the prospect of a long car ride!
Miss Charlotte truly is the perfect girl (see above). Stays on her padded areas in the house (self-voted a spot on the couch), great off leash (except when wishing to be the greeting committee), loads quietly into the back seat of our trucks (then promptly upgrades to the heated front seat co-pilot). Oh, then there is the horse barn where Deb rides her Thoroughbred. Charlotte is quiet, responds well to voice commands, and stays out of trouble (until she discovers the manure pile). This girl even comes to my semi-retirement work gig every day and is simply a joy to all. Cats, you ask? No problem (but for the initial “they run, I chase, right?”) routine. Topping it off, she loves broccoli and bananas, but turns the muzzle up at green beans.
We so love our latest addition, and are looking forward to many years of muzzles, adventures, and surprises. Thank you for rescuing the best Labrador, maybe ever (see above).
Bless you and keep up the good work!
