We have 3 labs, they are 8, 7, and 1. Dogs are special creatures, worthy of all the love we can give them. We now have a baby on the way,(first one) everyone I've ever talked to says, no matter how much you may love your dogs, you have no idea how much you can love something until you have a child. This is almost scarey. I already love this child with all my heart, and my wife is only 3months and 3 weeks along. I can only imagine what it will be like when the baby is actually here. My oldest lab goes riding with me, hunting, when we had more time, he was one hell of a duck dog, we go fishing, play ball, shooting, etc.. etc.. Now we're going to have a partner to go with us, damn it's a hell of a good feeling. I told Mrs. Treeman the bottle story, and she cried, thats been happening a lot lately, over just about anything. I feel really blessed,and happy, and love talking about it, sorry for the long post........Treeman........ ETA- Mrs. Treeman had her sonagram, It's to early to be certain, but it looks like a boy, the nurse said don't go painting rooms, but from the size of those nuts, she is pretty sure. I showed the pic to my crazy uncle, he said "yep, he's one of us, all beans, and no frank". It doesn't matter girl or boy, I'll be just as happy, she can learn to fish and hunt too.
