This is a recent pic of our dog Sable, who is now 12 years old. She is still in excellent shape for her age, though she struggles a little more with stairs. She is a rescue dog, and has a bit of lab, springer, and newfoundland in her. Her paws are webbed and she is an excellent swimmer. Her tail curls up most of the time and is long haired, bushy. Sable is the sweetest nicest dog ever. She is also incredibly smart and inquisitive. She understands everything we say even if it is not directed at her. Sometimes we try to spell out words if we don't want her to know what we are talking about (such as traveling to see his parents whom she loves to visit), but she still figures it out and gets excited lol. She recognizes the spelling for words like cat, deer, dinner, car lol.
Sable is really more my partner's dog as he is home all day and cares for her more. I am only home for short periods of time. She's my friend,
but she listens to my partner when he calls. If I call her she looks at me like "whatever" and totally ignores me. But she sat by me for years in the late evenings when I was in school and studying.
