    Bamps & Opie

    I forgot to re-introduce myself and Opie

    I had a little white chihuahua named "Guëro". Back in April 2010, as we were walking up my driveway, Guëro was bitten by a mohave rattlesnake and died a few moments later. I was depressed and needed to keep busy so I wanted a yellow lab and saw an add for a yellow and black lab on craigslist. When I got there to look at the yellow, the little black one, (well, about three times the size of Guëro), came over to me and attached himself.
    After careful thought and the thumbs up from my then 8 yo G'son, I named him Opie. A few days later I saw this board and joined.

    Here we ARE, back again.

    Welcome back. I hadn't read about your beginnings with Opie before . . . sounds like the two of you were meant to be together.

    Hi, New Member, What an awesome story of how Opie came to you. The thumbs up sign of your Grandson sealed the deal. Lovely story.

    Look forward to learning more about Opie.
