If I had a fence and no allergies I'd have a black lab to watch over Sammy & Loki. For now I am lucky enough to get daily slobbers from the big goofy labs next door.
I just love that I'm not allergic to my Yorkies. I can snuggle my face right into their fur and they can even sleep on my pillows. With a lab-type dog I would be covered in hives! BUT I LOVE LABS!!!
