More: We lost 3 dogs unexpectantly in less than 5 months and we were heartbroken!! This left us dogless for the first time in our marriage and it was really sad and quiet without them.. we had to find something to make us happy again!! we had always gotten rescues but this time we wanted a puppy and labs are my favorite.. so I researched lab breeders and fox reds popped up and I was sold!!! Found a breeder in our area and wouldn’t you know it their female just had a litter.. it was fate!! 4 wks later we got our sweet Mabel .. she helped us heal .. we love our sweet Mabel
