Last chance to vote for your favorite Calendar Lab!
OK, I know I’m biased, given that I formerly shared my home with two Labs. But Labrador retrievers are sooooo cute/handsome/beautiful, you would need a 100 months in a year to do them justice in a calendar.
But, sigh, only 12 lucky dogs can be calendar pups for Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida’s annual project. And you can help choose them.
Click here to see the 114 entries already received. Then vote by e-mailing the NUMBERS next to the photos of your two favorites to: LabRescuePhotos@yahoo.com.
Here is Number 14, possibly the next Miss June. (Editors note: Publication of this photo is not the reflection of the opinion of the management and should not be construed as an endorsement of this Lab).
But hurry, hurry! The deadline to vote is this Sunday, Aug. 10.
LRRoF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to placing purebred Labrador retrievers in loving permanent homes, and is run entirely by volunteers. The group has placed over 2,400 dogs since 2000.
Their adoptable dogs regularly appear on Rescue Me, a SSS! feature that profiles animals available through our nonprofit South Florida rescue groups. So check back here from time to time if you are on the hunt for a Lab.
And if you are a local rescue group that would like to be featured on Rescue Me, just email: dlade@sun-sentinel.com.

What a great idea! I wish I would have known earlier, because I would have taken a special pix of my lab, whom I adopted from the LRRF people....oh well, next year! I like the black lab with the pumpkins, but the yellow lab with the cowboy hat is really good, too!
