I have learnt so much from my chocolate lab Tobie. He has taught me to play at least twice a day, to walk and exercise often, to have a few moments each day when you just let loose without caring if people thinking you are crazy, to be nice to people you meet on the street unless something just doesn’t feel right and you can go anywhere by putting one foot in front of the other. He has also taught me to greet people warmly, remember something about them, you can learn new things at any age, you can have fun in the sun or rain, that you will go great lengths for those you love etc. These are all things that I knew… but I was reminded in the eyes of my wonderful chocolate lab: Tobie.
When Tobie became a member of our family, I knew I would have a life long companion but I never knew that I would learn so much from him. Every day is an adventure with him filled with more opportunities for me to grow and look at the world through puppy eyes.
