Dude, Where's My Feather Duster?


This hysterical photo of "Dusting Dude" was sent to me by my webmaster Angie. Angie's mother Nancy owns a residential cleaning service in Central Ohio. She snapped this photo of her client Marsha's black Labrador named Dude. Dude (and Marsha's yellow Lab Pearl - who's leg and tail are visible on the left-hand side of the photo) like to "help" out the team on cleaning day!

Those of us who have a Labrador in our lives know all too well how entertaining they can be!

On a slightly related note, it's almost hard to believe that black dogs (particularly black Labradors) are most often passed over at the shelters, resulting in an alarming rate of euthanization... hence, the epidemic known as "Black Dog Syndrome".

You can learn more about Black Dog Syndrome by reading my previous post or by visiting this very educational website called http://www.blackpearldogs.com/.

Please share how a "black dog" has made your life more wonderful. Just click on Comments at the end of this post to spread the joy!

Thanks Marsha & Nancy for allowing me to publish this wonderful picture! Keep up the GOOD WORK, DUDE!

Black Dog Syndrome

Most of the general public is not aware of how doomed black dogs are. When black dogs are brought to a pound, particularly black labs or lab mixes, they are euthanized at a horrifying rate because people pass them up for lighter colored dogs. If you are thinking about adopting a dog, please don't overlook black dogs. They are just as loving and wonderful as lighter colored dogs!
