Quinn at Topsail Beach

Hi Friends!

Today I had a GREAT day! This morning, my foster mom and I went to Topsail Beach. How gorgeous! Now, I will say, the water is a little chilly for my taste! I prefer to bask in the sun near the beach towel! I do love a ride in the car though!

After the beach, we came back and played with my foster sisters, Cooper and Mady. I am getting really good at retrieving the ball! We also helped mom mow the yard. After all of our hard work, we got to have a pool party!! Cooper and Mady LOVE the water, but I like to keep my distance. Mom did make us have a bath this afternoon, I'm not a huge fan, but I did stand like a gentleman. She even cleaned behind my ears...ugh!

Well, after the busy day I've had, I think I am going to take a nap! I hope you'll check back on me soon! Later this week I'm going to the vet!

Love,

Quinn

Hi!

My name is Quinn. My name used to be "Merlin", but I didn't like it very much, so my foster mom gave me the new, cool name! I am a 1 1/2 year old male black lab. I just moved in to my new foster home here in Jacksonville. I LOVE my K9 foster sisters, Cooper and Mady. They have been teaching me a lot since I got here, especially since I've never really been in a house before!

A little about me, I love to run! I love to chase a ball or a frisbee, but I don't really like to bring it back :) I am not fond of baths! I do like to jump, but my foster mom is trying her best to teach me about manners. One cool thing about me, I have freckles on my tongue! I think it makes me extra special!

So far I really like it here. I'll check back in with you soon and give you another update about my new life as part of "The Lab Crew".

Check you later!

Mady

Hi!

My name is Mady. Well, actually, my full name is Madelyn Belle, but I go by Mady. I am six months old. I joined the "Lab Crew" in February 2009. My mom and big sister Cooper, adopted me from Lab Rescue NC. Some of you might be wondering why such a cutie like me, could possibly be in a rescue group for?!? Well, I was rescued from a backyard breeder who was shut down for bad conditions. Luckily, they saved me, my mom (Java) and my brother (Bruin) as well as several other dogs. Boy, were we glad to be safe and warm in LRNC's care!

I am a typical second child. I like to be messy in everything I do. My very favorite thing in the WHOLE world is to roll in the grass. I love it, in fact, I just can't get enough! Like my older sister, I also LOVE the water and I love my food! I love our mom too of course! I'm not a huge fan of chasing the ball, mostly because it is a lot of work and you get hot and sweaty doing that...ewww! I prefer to let the other dogs do the work, then grab the ball out of their mouths. I am pretty sly!

I hope you check in on my foster brothers and sisters. They are all really awesome and I love playing with them! I will be sad to see them go, but excited too, because I know how awesome it is to become part of a family!

Check ya later!

Cooper

Hi Folks!

My name is Cooper. I am a one year old gal who is the "Lab Crew" original! I was adopted by my mom in September 2008, and boy am I glad she found me!

A little about me, I LOVE these five things: my mom (of course!), the ball, water, eating and last but certainly not least, being a lap dog!! I suffer from a bit of separation anxiety, which is why my mom became involved in volunteering with Lab Rescue. I've had several foster brothers/sisters, and I've loved every single one of them! We are always sad to see them go, but glad they could find a "forever" home, like I found mine!

I hope you enjoy our blog. Check back frequently for more updates on my foster siblings! Remember, life is great as long as you have a ball in your mouth and your never far from water!

Love,

Cooper
