Nope, not a new member to the forum, but even better! A new member to my family. Say hi to Samson!

He’s a 11 week old, Fox Red male Labrador Retriever. We picked him up on our return RV trip from Key West last Wednesday.

Some of you might remember my other thread where I was trying to save my old Lab, Sniper, from cancer. Unfortunately, after exhausting all medical options, I lost him at the end of January. Such a heartbreaking loss!

So, I wasn’t expecting to make this quick of a decision on a new dog, but the opportunity presented itself, so I went for it. Fox Red Lab puppies are pretty rare, and there weren’t many around, so I pulled the trigger. I lost Sniper on January 21st, and this pup was born the same week, January 24th, so maybe it was meant to be…

Here is Samson hanging out with some of Sniper’s past buddies.

LOL… You got the “beast” part right. We just crossed the 3 month line, and I think I have a Velociraptor instead of a puppy. :t_rex:

They start behaving at 7 years hahaha. I have a 4 year old white ( from a yellow line) and a 8 year old black one that can hide in a shadow.

LOL… I agree with that.

That’s why it was so heartbreaking to lose my other dude, Sniper, to cancer at 7. We finally got to a really good (and calm), place, and then I lost him, instead of having a few great more years.

Now, I’m back to square one, with the new T-Rex… LOL…
