Darth Vader

What name jumps to your mind when you think of a huge, scary, black dude? That's what Mr. Akers asked me when he suggested the name Darth Vader for our 100 lbs, purebred, English Labrador we adopted a few years ago.



Fortunately for us, Vader's personality is nothing like his namesake from Star Wars. In fact, he is the nearly perfect dog, who makes all who meet him, go purchase a dog of their own in hopes of discovering a companion half as amazing as our Darth Vader.


As much as Mr. Akers & I love him, there's just something immensely special about a little boy and his dog.

They are lounging buddies:


Inseparable:


& Goofy:



Hopefully JD will share his dog with his new baby brother when he comes. In the meantime, Vader is wasting no time loving the new addition already. He lays his head on my belly every chance he gets:
