One morning in late November 2003, Eric and I came home from grocery shopping to find we had been robbed. After calling the police, we decided to walk around the neighborhood to see if the thieves had dropped anything. We circled our block and on our way back towards our house we passed our neighbor. He had 6 black lab puppies in the yard. We stopped to talk to him and Eric asked him which puppy was his favorite. He said "this one" and motioned towards the calm puppy sitting at his feet. Eric and I went home and talked and decided we would take that nice calm puppy. Well, we brought him home and like a week later Eric called me at work and said "You will NOT believe what I just found". It appeared that Joe had worms. We took care of the worm issue and discovered that the worms were actually what was keeping Joe so calm. Joe, originally the runt, grew into a 100 lbs sweetie. He was expelled from doggy kindergarten and 86'd from doggy day care before he was one year old. I went to pick him up from doggy day care one evening and the owner told me that he had literally bounced off the walls...all 4 feet on the wall and pushed off. That's my puppa!
