We find ourselves late in life and with many surgeries behind us. We’re winding down in dog world activity, but we’ll never wind down from our love for the Labrador Retriever.
Peanut – 1 year of age. A gift from a friend, a gift in our lives.
Dogs that we have retired and live with us:
Sweet Dahlia is Rumble’s daughter. Some may find her registered name odd (Blue Knight Black Dahlia). Dahlia’s are my favorite flower, and I’ve always been intrigued by the story of the Black Dahlia, and saddened that a beautiful woman was left as she was after her murder. Dalhia’s name is a tribute to a beautiful flower, and a woman who deserves to be remembered for what she endured. It is only fitting that our Dahlia grew to be a beautiful girl with a gentle spirit.
Tush
Tush is the daughter of Luna (http://blueknightlabs.com/luna/). We had two daughters out of Luna (Tush and Gilda), a year apart in age. Tush is the quiet one <smile>.
Tush is one of those “push-button” dogs. Happy no matter what you ask her to do. Happy to just sit quiet. Happy. She is our food bowl collector, always ready to pick up the bowls and hand them to you.
Dogs that we have retired, but now live with family or friends:
Mariah
Mariah suffered a Pyometra (severe uterine infection) and had a life-saving emergency spay. 2020 – the year that just kept on giving… My sister, brother-in-law, and Niece, had just lost her 13 year old dog, leaving them broken-hearted, so, Mariah filled the hole in their hearts, and loves being an only dog!
Luna
Luna is spayed and happily retired in California. You can see how tough life is for her. <smile>
Rose
Rose is a sister to Dahlia, daughter of Rumble. She too is named after a flower (Black Rose). Her lovely head never ceases to please us.Rose is silly, impish, and lovable.
Rose is now retired, and living with a wonderful family.
