I’ve taken tons of pic­tures of Rivka, our choco­late lab.  She makes it easy.…all she does is lay around.  She’s our fat old lady. But the excit­ing girl in our fam­ily (besides the youngest girl, GiGi who won’t stop eat­ing her poop) is Boomer.  She was orig­i­nally named that because of our love of the OU Boomer Soon­ers.  But it quickly turned to Boomer­Rang because of one reason.

She’s telling you about it.

Ok, actu­ally she’s get­ting a bit snip­pety that I’m point­ing a cam­era at her instead of play­ing fris­bee. Oh yeah…she’s a typ­i­cal Bor­der Col­lie when it comes to frisbee’s. (She’s really only half BC…the other half of her is Eng­lish Set­ter so she’s extra tall on her legs, but she doesn’t know that.)

She is one focused dog.

This is the look she gets just before she tries “herd­ing’ the boys in the house.

Wow…she looks a lit­tle fero­cious doesn’t she?

Good girl!  This is where all the kids in the neigh­bor­hood start clap­ping.  Boomer’s a ham. (That’s a slob­ber­ing trail behind her in the top left-hand cor­ner of the picture.)

Res­cu­ing Boomer was the best thing we did.  We knew my Eng­lish Springer, Shanti was dying and we didn’t want Rivka (the lab) to be alone.  Lit­tle did we know how much Boomer’s per­son­al­ity would be like Shanti’s.  She puts up so much with the boys and all their rau­cous, the annoy­ing feet-attacks from Gigi, and not hav­ing any­thing to herd. But she seems happy and so are we!
