Well, that new addition has us about wrapped up tight and in less then a week. She and my wife have bonded 100 % . I'm still at the 75% mark but getting much better. We have chew toys all over the two rooms she is allowed in and, Mello - her favorites - a couple that look like dead squirrels and if you recall last spring from the other forum, how I really like those tree rodents. She is a lap pup - either of us and she is set til she is let down. Put her in the crate at 11:00PM and she sleeps until 6:30 or so - and dry. If she needs to do her thing, she stands by the door. She sits up for a treat or her collar and leash to go out. It's a new experience for me and a renewal for my wife. Oh and her new name - Callie (followed by a bunch of other gobbledygook about the 'dam' and 'sire')

Pictures of the "baby" will follow (of course)

Charlie - I love Labs and in my neighborhood, there must be over a dozen. Not sure about the car yet - it's an open car, but time will tell
