Thurman, the Dog of the Day
Name: Thurman
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Yellow Lab
Home: New Jersey, USA
 
   This is Thurman. He will be two in April 2001. We adopted Thurman when he was eleven months old, and he had separation anxiety. He hated being alone so much he would cry when I took a shower. Now Thurman is almost completely over his anxiety problems, and we're very proud of what a good boy he is! I wish we had him from when he was a little tiny puppy (he weighed 60 pounds when we got him), but over the past year we've seen him thicken up, his neck broaden, etc.

    Thurman is a very busy dog. During the week he spends his days at his Dad's piano repair shop, where he excels in his position of shop dog. (Here is a picture of Thurman at work).

    Thurman has busy weekends, too. In the warmer months, he comes out on our fishing boat with us. His favorite part is when we let him jump into the lake and swim. (He gets pretty excited on the rare event that we actually reel in a fish, too!). He goes to a local dog park where he gets to play with his friends almost every weekend. One of Thurman's favorite games is tennis (well, chewing and retrieving tennis balls anyway). Thurman's favorite things are his bed, the dog park, and treats. He is a sweet, lovable dog with personality.
