Velvet Cole

We got Sophie, who we renamed Velvet Cole, from HART on April 15, 2006. She is a wonderful pet with much personality and love to share. She's a little spunky for us at times, but she will soon  be a year old in January and we hope that she will settle down a bit. She has 2 homes, one in Minneapolis and one by Mille Lacs Lake. She enjoys them both, especially the water.

Her favorite thing to do is get into the bathtub; she loves to swim and retrieve. We had to put down our former pet down after 14 years of great love and companionship and Velvet has truly captured our hearts once again.

Labrador Retrievers are energetic dogs, delighted to work and play hard. They need a lot of exercise.
