Giving Thanks for such a giving life.

Last night I sat down and thought about things in my life that I'm thankful for. We've raised Labs for over 25 years now and have had our own brand of dog food, JaxMax, for 8 years. Every time I answer the phone and talk with a new, excited family, and they are looking to add a Lab as a new family member; I'm struck by how special that moment is for them. Their excitement, concerns, and the shear responsibility of the situation fall around me like leaves on a crisp fall day. To witness that and experience the moment with them is something I am thankful for.

Every day I meet with future or past customers of ours; they are genuine, friendly and take time to chat with me. Over the tiny moments, that grow into days, which turn into weeks, months and eventually years; those once strangers are now friends. Someone in which I can have a common conversation with or discuss today’s' topics. And every once in a while I meet a person that stands out from the rest. A real hero. We had such a person in our midst. He wasn't around nearly long enough. I would have to say, even though it wasn't pleasant losing Todd; just having spent time with him was something I will eternally be grateful for. And I'm thankful for that.

And then there is the puppy. That one puppy that steals your heart, along with your socks, shoes and underwear; yes, that youthful little puppy that will mature into a stoic family pet. The one true being that loves you unconditionally. A Lab. With so many awesome characteristics and cherished moments. I am thankful for my Lab.

My hope for you is this; a Thanksgiving filled with great memories, much time with family and friends; of course, the Lab at our feet the whole time. He is loyal and patient, or he's just waiting to clean up whatever is dropped on the floor. Nevertheless, be thankful!

Black Friday, Yellow Saturday, Chocolate Sunday!

We have never before had a special sale dayin our history. Let's make history together! I understand that this year has been stressful and trying for a lot of people. I'm going to talk to the person reading this that is contemplating a new Lab puppy. There is one "item" on your list that could make you have a better day, week, month and provide years of happiness; a new Lab puppy. Labrador puppies are in their own group of the dog world. If you've ever noticed someone mentioning their mix breed, it's always Lab and something else, even though it looks nothing like a Lab. Point being, everyone wants a Lab! Most all the Labs raised today are bred for either hunting or showing off; much like a beauty pageant. We've been raising non-hyper family Labs for 25 years. The energy level will be a lot lower than you are used to seeing, but they aren't a doorstop either. So, what is stopping you? Is it not having a yard? Or living in an apartment or condo? Maybe it’s the price? Well, I can't help you on your living situation, but I can help on the price. After much thought about this, I am having a 3 day Thanksgiving weekend special!
