Shamgar

Shamgar is our 1 year old chocolate lab. He turned 1 December 1. We will have had him for a year January 12. Shamgar was our Christmas present from my parents last year. I had always said that we would get a house, then a dog, then have a baby. Little did I know that it would all happen in a 9 month period... Shamgar's name is from the Old Testament. In Judges 3:31 "After Ehud, came Shamgar, would slaid 600 Philistines with an ox goad." Spence says that Shamgar was obviously more manly than even Samson because he only needed one verse and Samson needed chapters. Thankfully Spence decided that a dog could be named this instead of our first child...
So, here is to Shamgar. Happy birthday (a little late), buddy!

Sweet innocent (this didn't last long)

1 year old, wrestling with Spence

The other dog is my parents 6 year old lab, Gabe.

Shamgar is on the right here, I can't believe that he is bigger than Gabe now!
