Welcome Luka

Luka is a yellow Labrador
A boy!
We heard he needed a new home and
we had a recently vacated food bowl.
He is a very loving dog and will hold your hand for ages.

Full of life, 21 months old.
Very well behaved. 
We are taking two walks a day, swimming, fetching sticks.
He is not so good at giving them back...
I was trying to tempt him with a treat this morning but it only works for Stella
who gives the stick back anyway.

It is a bit scary when they both arrive at the stick
at the same time.
Here we had a major battle for the stick,
two dogs swimming vigorously in opposite directions.
I think it must have been this battle that lost Luka his new collar,
with an engraved name plate/ phone number
and the lifetime council registration tag that I got yesterday.

Stella won the stick.

The Murray River is very wide here at Mildura
We are just a few km's upstream from the weir,
so the river levels here are fairly constant.
Pool level, they call it.
I don't think I could dive for the collar as they were a fair way out.
A stick's throw in fact. Its pretty deep out there.

Welcome indeed. You have been so lucky with him getting along well with Stella. I have also featured their wrestling on my blog. Glad to see you have more items on etsy than last time I looked.

What an absolutely gorgeous boy!! How I wish I owned a dog that would fetch and swim! I bet he will bring you many new dog memories to cherish.
