I had black Lab that loved the water. While was never known to chew on rocks
he liked to retrieve them. I have had a few Labs over the years. They all
loved the water but Bart was the only one who would swim underwater to
retrieve rocks. It beats me how I could throw a rock in to the water and he
would come back with the same one I threw.

Strange, isn't it? I've even heard of dogs jumping into lakes to retrieve
rocks that have been tossed in there.

Oh my! I'm glad that never happened with Panther.

Neither of us can remember why Panther went to a better place at the ripe
old age of 8. Sometimes, you block painful things. Crash *thinks* it was
her kidneys. Gives a whole new meaning to kidney stones. (gallows humor)

<looking upward> Love ya, Panther!
