Hi Irish, Hope you and your family are doing well. That's great that you are getting a lab puppy. I have a chocolate lab and she gives me so much love. I put her dog bed next to my bed so it's like Im not sleeping alone at night. Its nice having her next to me if I wake up during the night feeling sad and alone. That was nice of you son to invite you to dinner. My son doesn't have a girlfriend yet because he goes to an all boys private high school. I signed him up for tennis this week but he refused to go and started crying. He still seems sad. I hope he feels better once school starts he has to much free time now. Good luck with your new puppy!
