All in the Family

Biography: My mom and Dad got Riley for me as a surprise (You would say that is was a bday gift even though it wasn't for a while) After our old lab Eli had to be put down 6 years before, Me and my sister always wanted another lab. During those 6 years we had Chloe who drowned, Max who needed a friend and Millie who needed a little brother. Anyways... So my dad's friend that he works with heard that we'd been looking to get a lab and said that her golden was going to have puppies... It was no lab but better than nothing. My mom wasn't too thrilled with it but this was something I REALLY REALLY wanted. I begged and begged and told them how good of care I would take of him (yes, I wanted a boy!) And I would train him... ect. My sister kind of forgot about it and didn't really care anymore. Then my dad found out that the puppies weren't going to be golden's anymore, their neighbor dog had gotten loose..So now they would be lab/golden ret. mixes. Long story short, After the puppies were born my mom and dad went out for a "date" and came back with a puppy that I had wanted for YEARS! I was so happy my mom said she thought I was going to faint. I knew that he was a boy, and I knew what I would name him. Riley.. It just fit perfectly! He's 3 years old now (looking more like a lab then golden) and my forever friend. I know he'll never stab me in the back or talk about me... And he'll always be there for me. Riley loves to run beside the four wheeler and go to the lake to swim, play ball and soccer in the yard, chase Millie&Max around and just hang out with me at the end of the day on my couch. Yep, the pup's got it pretty good here and we LOVE him. (;
