My tail of Devotion to Zakk

Zakky, Did I ever tell you that you are the best dog ever? Your arrival here wasnt exactly planned. If Keith's Mom hadnt almost killed his kitten ( by accident) we wouldnt've stepped up our search for a little brother for Ozzy when we did. We drove all the way to Dover to look at the lab puppies and once Keith saw you that was it. We all fell in love with your tiny little face.I remember how confident you were, you came into the house a tiny little peanut and took completely over. Nothing bothered you, not even the big drooly foaming at the mouth Ozzy spazzing about this little tiny black thing walking around his house like he'd been there forever. Not once did you ever have an accident in the house, you eventually won Oz over and you became best buds. I remember scooping you up and lying you on my chest watching tv and letting you fall asleep to my heartbeat. Who knew then that you would be the biggest of all your brothers and still to this day try to sleep like that with me. You are the most lovable, cuddly, attached to my hip, laid back boy I have ever met. You never bark, unless you want to play or get past Jake,and even then you sound like a seal. You could care less if the neighbors dogs are outside and just about roll your eyes when your brothers tear into the windows to bark at them. Since the first day you got here your tail has wagged nonstop when you see food. I think you might even love it more than your Mommy and Daddy.
I love how you are constantly with me no matter what room I go into, how you sit outside the bathroom door and cry for Mommy to come back out, how you throw yourself into our laps with all fours up in the air and sleep all comfortable. I even love how silly you are with that stupid dog drool drenched egg you need to have with you at all times. I know being a middle child isnt always easy being sandwiched between two head cases like your brothers but know that you are loved just as much as they are and my life would not be complete without you. You are the sweetest funniest most beautiful black lab EVER!!!!!!!
Love, Your Mommy
