Our dear black lab of fifteen years, Nicky, passed away over a year ago. We had not talked seriously about getting another dog..that is, until last week. We began to look for a dog by visiting the county dog pound and that's where we found our new dog!
Meet Blue!
The blue sheen on his coat was providential to his name!! This picture was taken after we named him! 
He is about one year old, very smart and looks like a purebred lab. He is absolutely beautiful and we already love him very much. It has taken two days for him to get settled in to our home and get to know his new friends, the goats, chickens and kittys. 
Bart and Simon are not too sure about this arrival! Bart was terrified, promptly climbed the nearest tree and Jim had to retrieve him using a tall ladder. (See Bart way up in the tree)! 
I use any excuse to take a picture....Ha!! 
Ladder up the tree!
Blue has been kenneled and is quite well adjusted to it. We decided to put one on the front porch..to use when we are gone, and keep him safe as he becomes comfortable with his new home! While we are home he is a free dog and already we can see he is so happy to have come to live with us! We don't think it will take long for Blue to know he is home!!
Did I say he was very smart? He is!!
Labradors love to play fetch and Blue is no exception!! He also loves the water...evidence being, we found him in our water fountain slapping the water and making a huge mess!!
The first of many to come!!
Jim and I are so happy to share our lives with Blue! We have plans to take him to the Oregon Coast next weekend and give him the experience of running on the beach!! His ears will be flying, there will be a huge smile on his face, and on ours!!

Oh he looks like a sweetie!! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with him..
He's beautiful! Congrats on your new family member.
Oh, how special!! I'm glad you have Blue to love on. He looks like a fun lab. :o) I'm sure he will just love his new home with you!
He looks cool and a real sweetheart, glad you have a wonderful companion :D
Well, you really cannot go wrong with Labs, we know because we have 5 Labs. And one of our favorite places to take our Labs is the OREGON Coast !
Great idea putting the kennel on the porch for awhile. We have a farm gate on our back porch because we also have a huge pond which our Labs swim in, and the farm gate keeps them enclosed long enough to dry off before we bring them in for the night. As I type this I have a yellow Lab snoring at my feet and 2 others sleeping nearby ! Love my Labs..and MY Jim too.
Hello, Blue! Oh, he's a beauty, Flower! Happy Days welcoming the new family member! Poor Bart up there in the tree...hehehe...am sure he & Blue will be friends in no time! ;o) I love dogs and miss having one sometimes. But our kitty Charlie is king of the castle and likes it that way--LOL! Can't wait to see more of Blue!! ((BIG HUGS))
Oh, he's beautiful! And I'm not sure who is happier--Jim or Blue. Poor Bart! He doesn't look happy in the tree, sort of a 'I don't like it on the ground with THAT THING and I don't like it up here either!' look on his face.
What a happy and sweet dog Blue looks like! Hope you have a lot of enjoying times with him! blessings, Kathleen
What a beautiful dog. He looks like my daughter's Lab. He has that narrower head that some Labs have. There is a dog in my neighborhood named Blue (even though he is brown).
I love stories like that! Blue has definitely "hit the good life" and I am so happy for him and for y'all!
He looks so nice and gentle. And happy to be in a good home. Bless you for taking a pound dog. Thanks for visiting me on Blue Monday. By the way, drop by and watch the YouTube video bar on my blog. It has one with real talking dogs.
This post put a BIG smile on my face. Thank you so much for bringing Blue home and giving him a wonderful new home.
Looks like a perfect fit for all of you.
Hugs,
Joanne
