Love your dog, my next dog is going to be a black lab, had two yellow labs and wife wanted to go in a different direction, now she wants a lab, lol. Love the dog I have, rescue dog, but she's a handful, labs are so easy.

We’ve always had black labs.  Growing up my family would raise them for Guiding Eyes for the Blind down near NYC.  Foster home a puppy for 18 months, train it basic stuff and then give it back for the real training.  As a kid though giving away dogs after 18 months with a puppy was damn hard, always thought my parents were cruel but they saw it as community service.

We had a couple dogs go on to work as guide dogs and another became an ATF bomb dog. If the dog would fail the guide dog personality test, they’d offer them to other gov’t agencies. It was pretty impressive to see the puppy that couldn’t figure out where to piss go on to learn how to navigate things like rotating doors for their human and guide them through NYC streets.

Our next one though, my wife wants a rescue and I support that.  Just partial to knowing what you get with a lab.

Mostly virga?  Had a few brief light showers hiking today but didn’t see anything frozen.

A buddy reported a mix of sleet, snow and graupel at the top of Killington earlier.  I figure wet-bulb and evaporational processes with these showers must be strong.

All I was saying is the synoptics sound exactly what’s happening around parts of the interior.  Maybe not CT, haven’t looked, don’t care that much, but graupel, mixed precip in areas, even some snow coding on p-type in Dacks, chilly brief rain in others.

I had no horse in whatever race you are running, ha.  Just sounded like what happened in some areas of the Northeast.

A couple pop-up showers, cool weather cloudy day. We tried to tell him.

Exactly, someone has their power walking panties in a bunch. Day drinking for the loss.

We'll get a rescue too, the one I have is a rescue from Arkansas and may have saved our ass one night so hope shes around for a long time.
