Meet Miller! Our newest edition to the family. He is around 6 weeks old. He is a terrier lab mix, all black and makes a perfect fit. One of Mary's co-workers dogs had pups, and it gets a little strange here. The terrier was the female and got impregnated by 2 males so she had 2 different breed mixes. 5 husky pups and 1 lab. The huskies were very beautifully marbled and they had no problems giving them away. But this little guy was another story. Solid black dogs are often over looked, they have some sort of sigma attached to them. "Black labs or lab mixes, are euthanized at a horrifying rate at many pounds & shelters because people pass them up for lighter colored dogs" Mary and I took 2 trips the the pound when looking for our first dog. She liked a small dog the most after looking at all the dogs the 1st trip. Second trip the small dog was gone but we fell in love with our little man Silas, our FIRST all black lab mix. Never crossed our mind to pass on him like most. Anyways (tangent much?) No one wanted this little guy. Mary begged me and I caved, haha. Let the fun begin!
