| You Are a Labrador Retriever |
| You are very optimistic. You approach life with enthusiasm and vigor. You aim to please, and you are a very quick learner. You can be a bit rowdy and unruly, especially when you don't get enough exercise. While you are a bit wild, you're never dangerous. You are a truly gentle creature. |
When I was a little girl my grandmother came to visit us one year for Christmas. I was really excited about Santa coming and had my list all ready to recite just in case anyone asked. I remember asking my grandmother what she wanted for Christmas. She would always laugh and answer "I want a yellow dog named Towser."
One evening we went to see Santa and tell him what we wanted for Christmas. I naturally recited my list of "must-haves" and just as I was getting down I hastily added and my grandmother wants "a yellow dog named Towser!"
I noticed that the adults all around me were laughing except grandmother. It seems that Santa had a microphone on his lapel and so everyone could hear what each child said.
On Christmas morning I don't know who was more surprised...Me or my grandma. Under the tree unwrapped was a yellow slinky dog with a bow around his neck and a tag that read to Grandma from Santa. The dog had a big name tag that said " Towser. "
