JW_Halverson:
I know your daughter will grieve very deeply for having to lose part of her family. 

Tell her about me, about how the only thing I wanted as a kid was a dog, any dog, anytime or anyplace.  But 5 minutes with a dog and I was hospitalized.  I outgrew it, she may too some day.  Let her know that I am making it up to all the dogs I didn't get to have with the one I now have.  And I spend at least 6 hours a week at the dog park where I get to play with dozens of other dogs, too.  Give her something to look forward to. 

Michael C.:
JW I will, she actually wants to be a vet right now, but she's still young and if she's like me she won't ever decide what she wants to do when she grows up. The strange thing is two years ago her tests showed that she wasn't allergic to dogs, that's one reason we got the Chocolate Lab. Hopefully she will grow out of it again in a few years and it won't be such an issue.

The woman who was planning on taking Koa (choc lab) backed out, so now we're back at square one with both of them. We talked to Lab Rescue and they said they would definitely take him from only seeing a photo of him, which I thought was weird, because they made us do a bunch of stuff for Yoda and ended up not taking him. I called back and asked why they wouldn't take them both after my wife called me and said they would take Koa without even bringing him in. She couldn't give me a straight answer and she said he must have shown some sign of aggression. I'm going to put them on craigslist tonight and see what happens, maybe someone is looking for a good present for the coming holidays. Keep on praying, wishing and positive thinkering.

Keenan:
Michael, my heart goes out to ya bud, I had pure bred labs for years and have always loved dogs. They do become members of the family for sure and that is one hard scenario to walk through for sure. I do believe you are doing the right thing by trying to find them good homes. Keeping you and your family in the thoughts and prayers.

Lombard:
No doubt about it, that is rough. We are dog people too. Our last dog was with us sixteen years, before she passed on. We waited a couple years, and now have a Yellow Lab, that we have really fallen for. You are in an unenviable position Michael, good luck to you, and God Bless.
