Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MISS CRICKET-- "LOVING--GENTLE**SPECIAL**GORGEOUS" "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?? ONCE YOU MEET CRICKET WE CAN ASSURE YOU THAT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT DOES HAPPEN!!! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS GENTLE GIRL THE MINUTE YOU MEET HER. CRICKET IS A 3-4 YEAR OLD, 45 POUND, LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX, AND JUDGING BY HER STRIKING MARKINGS, COLOR AND HER LONG GRACEFUL LEGS WE FEEL THERE JUST MIGHT BE A BIT OF GREYHOUND IN HER FAMILY TREE. THIS PUP IS STRIKING!!! BEING FULL GROWN AND WEIGHING ONLY 45 POUNDS CRICKET IS THE PERFECT SIZE TO FIT IN ANY LIVING ARRANGEMENT, CRICKET IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL. HER COAT IS A MYRIAD OF COLOR, A PALE SLATE GRAY, HIGH GLOSS BLACK AND A SPARKLING GLACIER WHITE. WHEN COMBINED TOGETHER THEY GIVE A MARBLEIZED EFFECT--GORGEOUS!!! HER EYES ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE A WARM, DEEP, RICH COGNAC COLOR WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION. THEY TRULY SEEM TO SHINE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN CRICKET FIRST SEES YOU. CRICKET MAY NOT THE THE BIGGEST OF PUPS BUT SHE MAKES UP FOR IT IN PERSONALITY. CRICKET IS A TRUE COMPANION, PATIENT, DEVOTED, CALM AND EXTREMELY LOVING. SHE HAS THE HAPPY, GLOWING LAB TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, BUT IS A QUIET, LOVING LADY AND IT IS THESE TRAITS WHICH MAKE THE LAB THE NUMBER ONE FAMILY COMPANION. SHE IS WHAT WE CALL A "CUDDLER" A SOFT DOG. THE MINUTE YOU CALL HER NAME HER ADORABLE FACE WILL LIGHT UP, OVER TO YOU SHE WILL COME, TAIL WAGGING EYES TWINKLING. SHE WILL SNUGGLE AS CLOSE TO YOU AS SHE CAN GET, REST THAT GORGEOUS HEAD RIGHT IN YOUR LAP ASKING FOR A PAT OR A HUG WHICH SHE ADORES. SHE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN ATTENTION AND AFFECTION FROM THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HER--HER FAMILY. YOU COULD ALSO CALL "MISS SOCIAL" FOR SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORES EVERYONE SHE MEETS CHILDREN TO SENIORS AND ALL DOGS SHE GREETS WITH A HAPPY TAIL WAG AND SEEMS TO ENJOY COMPANION DOGS WHO HAVE THE SAME EASY, RELAXED, GENTLE NATURE CRICKET DOES. (SHE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) THIS "TOTAL PUP" IS HAPPY FROM THE MINUTE THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES POP OPEN IN THE MORNING TIL SHE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT TIRED FROM A FUN DAY OF PLAY. YOU COULD TAKE THIS ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL ANYWHERE AND SHE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH CRICKET JUST AS LONG AS SHE GETS TO GO. START YOUR DAY WITH AN EARLY MORNING WALK AND CRICKET IS RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, SHE WALKS BEAUTIFULLY ON LEAD, TAIL WAGGING, HEAD HELD HIGH, PRANCING, HAPPY AND CURIOUS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS TO SEE ALONG THE WAY. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE MOUNTAINS JUST GRAB THIS HAPPY GIRL AND GO. SHE WOULD DELIGHT IN SPENDING THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, FINDING THE NEAREST LAKE TO SWIM IN, SHE ADORES WATER, JUST ENJOYING THE DAY ENJOYING LIFE. THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS "TOTAL PUP'S " PACKAGE, CRICKET IS SMART!!! SHE KNOWS THE COMMAND COME, SHE IS A PUP WHO IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND DELIGHTS IN PLEASING HER OWNER. SHE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE WHEN SHE KNOWS SHE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASES THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO HER, HER FAMILY!!! SHE IS INDEED AN "OPEN BOOK" A PUP WITH HUGE POTENTIAL. IT UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES OF HER BOOK WITH HUGS, PATS, KISSES, PLAY, TRAINING BUT MOST IMPORTANT FILL HER BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY SHE IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A PUP WHO DEARLY LOVES HER FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HER BEING. A GENTLE, HAPPY, LOVING GIRL WHO'S ONLY REQUEST IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE SHE IS AND LOVE HER. WE REFERRED TO CRICKET AS "SPECIAL" AND IN 2008 SHE HAD PROLAPSE SURGERY AND DUE TO THIS SHE HAS A SLIGHT URINARY LEAKAGE AND NEEDS TO WEAR A PAD WHEN SHE IS IN HER HOME. THIS HASN'T SLOWED CRICKET DOWN FOR ONE MINUTE, SHE IS HAPPY, PLAYFUL AND ONE OF THE SWEETEST PUPS WE HAVE FOUND. CRICKET DOESN'T KNOW THAT HER CONDITION MAKES HER "SPECIAL" WE ARE HOPING TO FIND A FAMILY WHO REALIZES THAT THIS PUPS HEART AND SPIRIT FAR OUTWEIGH HER SMALL MEDICAL ISSUE. IF THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR FAMILY IS ONE THAT IS AFFECTIONATE, DEEPLY TRUSTING, FUN, HAPPY, WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING HER FAMILY AND A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LADY THEN LOOK NO FURTHER CRICKET IS YOUR GIRL. SHE IS A JOY!!!!
