    One Happy Lab

    Everyday I try to make it Chopper's best day of his life. Yes, I spoil him rotten. In return, he gives me unconditional love and affection. That makes me very happy. I am so proud of him. I cannot begin to explain how much fun Chopper had over the past two weeks. Each day was doggie paradise. His buddies Sarg and Gunner put him through a two week boot camp where he learned the ropes of being a true lab. Sarg trained him how to rock climb, fight in a playful way, sit up for treats, drink out of the toilet, how to forage for berries in the snow, etc. Having said that, Sarg turned him into a lean mean fighting machine and seriously accelerated his development as a puppy. His agility and strength skyrocketed over the two week period. It was quite amazing. Most of all, those two became best buddies. Chopper could not wait to wake up the each morning to see Sarg and have another day in paradise. I'll take the good with the bad on this trip. The good far out-weighed the bad...

    Please check out this video. It truly captures how happy he was during this time frame. I hope you enjoy it!

    Looks like fun. Chopper is so well mannered with the older dogs, looks like he learned proper puppy deportment, a certain amount of "Sure big boy, you're the boss" with him.

    Love when they do the spins... it's hilarious. Finnegan does the ankle biting thing then runs underneath Sailor's legs too. Chopper and Finnegan would have a ball together!

    Thanks for all of the nice comments everybody! Regarding the ankle biting. Sarg used to do that to Gunner when he was younger. Chopper is Sarg's payback...

    Oh, puppy butt tucks! So cute. Leave it to a kid to take the course off the path and making it fun. Love the video.
