Thanks, April. You are more than kind. Coal is slowing down a bit, but he still loves to chase. I take it easy on him as he has, like me, gotten a bit more mature. He is 8 1/2...I guess that might be middle age for a lab, but perhaps more. I heard a country song that was to the tune of "Delta Dawn", but it was titled "Delta Dog." It started, "She was just 18 but that's 112 in dog years." Another country song I heard on the radio was something like this: "I can't get over you, so you get up and turn out the light." Oh the joys of radio, huh ??
