Meet Abbot — My 8 Year Old American Yellow Labrador. (Steemit Photo Challenge #42 - Entry No. 2)

Introducing my 8-year-old yellow lab, Abbot. He is a high strung, incredibly friendly pup who loves duck hunting, long walks on the beach, and chewing on my old sneakers. Yesterday, I threw him tennis balls for about a half an hour. Just when I thought he had finally lost his ball, he brought it back to me, dropped it at my feet, and gazed up at me with a look that said, "Hey dude you gonna throw that again or just stand there?" And it was at that exact moment I captured this picture.

Later that day I decided to bring him to the local lake because it was a scorcher. He drooled on me the whole way there!

Finally, we arrived at the lake. After wading around in the shallows trying to catch sunfish for a while Abbot gave up and refocused on the tennis ball. After throwing it out there for him several times I realized he was tired and decided we should go. As tradition, I gave him the ball to carry in his mouth on the way out. With my camera ready, I flipped him the ball and captured this!
