Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WINSTON***CONTACT MICHELLE MAY mmay@kylabrescue.com WINSTON'S STORY---THE ULTIMATE COMPANION OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN"--SOOOOO LOVING--GORGEOUS!!! WINSTON IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 4 YEAR OLD, 70 LB., PUREBRED BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER. WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT WINSTON WAS IN HER SHELTER. THE SHELTER DIRECTOR TOLD US WHAT A WONDERFUL, GENTLE FELLOW HE WAS. SHE FELT SURE HIS FAMILY WOULD COME FOR HIM, THEY DIDN'T!!! "THIS IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST AND MOST LOVING PUP I HAVE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME, MY SHELTER IS FULL AND THIS SWEET FELLOW DOESN'T BELONG HERE. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP HIM, HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL GUY" SHE TOLD US. THE MINUTE WE HEARD ABOUT THE GORGEOUS FELLOW WE NAMED WINSTON WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WINSTON LEFT THE SHELTER THAT DAY, TAIL WAGGING, EYES BRIGHT ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE--THE BEAUTY OF THE LAB!!! WHEN YOU FIRST SEE WINSTON HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HIS FACE HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY MELT YOUR HEART. THEY SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN WINSTON FIRST SEES YOU. HE HAS THE SWEETEST FACE WITH A GENTLE, KIND, "I LOVE YOU" EXPRESSION, IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. HE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT GUY WITH A GRACEFUL FLOWING BODY, CHEST DEEP, SHOWING STRENGTH WITH A REGAL CONFIRMATION. NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL PUP JUST WAIT TIL YOU MEET HIM YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A TON MORE TO WINSTON THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE.(ALTHOUGH HIS FACE TRULY IS PRETTY) HE IS THE ULTIMATE "COMPANION", DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, BEYOND GENTLE AND EXTREMELY LOVING. TRUE TO THE LABRADOR BREED, HE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, A TRAIT THAT HAS ENDEARED THE LAB TO FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS. HE IS WHAT WE CALL A "SOFT" DOG, A "CUDDLER", A TRUE GENTLEMAN. HE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET, LOOKING AT YOU WITH THOSE DREAMY EYES ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE. HE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN, HUGS, LOVE AND ATTENTION. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. HE IS ALSO OUR "AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL" HE ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS AND DOGS YOUNG, OLD, BIG OR SMALL, HIS IMMEDIATE NEW BEST FRIEND(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). THIS GENTLE, EASY GOING, PUP IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME GREETING EVERYONE HE MEETS AND ALL DOGS WITH A TAIL WAG AND SPARKLING EYES. WINSTON IS A PUP THAT YOU COULD TAKE ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, JUST GET USE TO BEING STARED AT WHEN FOLKS SEE HIM HE IS A SHOW STOPPER!!. HE IS A BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED GUY WAY PAST THE ANTICS OF A PUPPY. HE WOULD ADORE AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, WINSTON IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, WINSTON WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, DIVING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY SNOW BANK HE COULD FIND, JUST ENJOYING NATURE, ENJOYING LIFE. THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AFTER SPENDING JUST A SHORT TIME WITH WINSTON TO REALIZE THIS PUP IS SMART!!!!! HE IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS INCREDIBLY FAST AND FINDS ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO EXCITING AND A CHALLENGE. HE IS A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN PLEASING THOSE HE LOVES AND THIS MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH WINSTON. AT DAY'S END AFTER WINSTON HAS SPENT THE DAY PLAYING WITH A BUDDY, TAKEN A LONG WALK, OR HELPED YOU RUN ERRANDS AROUND TOWN WHEN HE COMES INTO HIS HOME, YOU BUILD A FIRE AND SETTLE IN YOU WILL FIND WINSTON CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING CONTENT AND HAPPY, HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY AND TO WINSTON IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. WINSTON'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!!! AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH WINSTON WE FEEL THAT HE WOULD BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE LIFE OF A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE, OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE ULTIMATE "COMPANION" AND NEW BEST FRIEND. IN FACT OUR DIRECTOR MADE THE COMMENT "THIS IS THE PERFECT DOG"!!!! WE HAVE LEARNED THIS GORGEOUS GUY WITH HIS "I LOVE YOU" EXPRESSION IS A TREASURE AND WILL SHOWER HIS FAMILY WITH TAIL WAGS, KISSES, AND TONS OF LOVE EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF THEIR LIFE. HE IS A PUP THAT IS FAITHFUL, LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. WINSTON JUST WANTS TO KNOW THAT WHEN HE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT ON HIS BIG FLUFFY BED THAT THE LAST THING HE WILL HEAR SPOKEN TO HIM IS "WINSTON WE LOVE YOU" AND HE WILL LIFT HIS GORGEOUS "BLOCK" HEAD, BLINK THOSE DREAMY EYES, WAG HIS "OTTER" TAIL AND YOU CAN BET THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" AND HE WILL DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP CONTENT AND HAPPY, HIS WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS FAMILY AND IS LOVED.
