I'm so glad I found it again!

I have had four dogs in my life and she was by far the smartest. Very easily teachable, very friendly, very social and, as you can see, quite patient.

I have overcome my grief, so no apologies for my loss are necessary. Of course I miss her, but seeing this photo made me so happy. It's like getting one more moment with her all these years.

Stafordshire terriers

You can also have pleasant time with other dogs, like the one in the picture :)

The dog in the picture is a stafordshire terrier, I know this because that dog looks just like mine, who is in fact a Staffy.

I didn't really want to get into this, but Lucy was a mutt. She definitely was part lab. We think possibly also part shorthaired pointer, but we never knew for sure.

But she was definitely a lab. Smart as a lab, wanted to endlessly play fetch...
