His name is (appropriately) Tank. He is a 110 pound, 3-year-old Chocolate Lab. He is beautiful and well behaved and HUGE(as you can see from the pictures below. He is sitting and is almost as big as Drake)! He needed a new home because his old owners didn't feel like they had enough time for him anymore. So he's now a part of our family! Yes - we're suckers!
He's crate trained (and loves his crate) and he will sit, shake and lay on command. He loves to play "fetch". And he even comes when he's called. He's just a big baby. He and Otis are still getting acquainted. Tank is playful and Otis is fat and lazy. I'm hoping Tank will bring Otis out of his laziness - but so far Otis is unimpressed and could care less! Oh, well. He's entitled, I suppose.
This is tank shaking Drake's hand this morning. He decided he needed to lay down to do so - but he still did what Drake asked him to do, I suppose.On a side note(for those of you who went to school with us) - when we were in Ocala picking up Tank from his old house, one of their neighbors came over and it was Holly Woodard. She is married and has been living in this neighborhood in Ocala for 5 years. And they are expecting their first child. Just thought I'd let everyone know. It really is a small world!

Welcome, Tank! He looks so handsome. That is too funny about Holly.
Labs make the best dogs. They require alot of walking, but are gentle, loyal, and smart. TO be honest, I don't think that you were a sucker. Smart dog owners wait until 3 years old so that they can see the demeanor of the dog and not have to go through the puppy stage. Or at least that's my opinion! Welcome to the family Tank!
