PETAL
"Fresh as a Petal. Built like a Labrador. Eyes like a cartoon character."

Meet Petal.

She's a beautiful white-and-tan Lab mix, and at the moment she's carrying around a few extra pounds.

We're not judging.

We're simply calling it a temporary snack surplus.

At 45 pounds, Petal is a little more cushiony than she needs to be, but a few good walks, some hikes and a reasonable amount of restraint around the treat jar should have her back to a healthy weight in no time.

And Petal is going to make that easy.

Because this girl loves being outside.

She's happy, healthy, well behaved and ready to enjoy the good life. No puppy nonsense. No toddler-level chaos. No explaining to Petal that the couch is not a trampoline.

She's an adult dog with adult-dog chill.

Want to take a nice long walk?

Petal is ready.

Want to explore a hiking trail?

Petal is ready.

Want to spend the afternoon hanging out in the yar

Want to spend the afternoon hanging out in the yard?

Petal has already found the perfect spot.

And then there are those eyes.

THE EYES.

Please look at this girl's magnificent bug eyes.

They're enormous.

They're expressive.

And they appear to be permanently set to "Did you say TREATS?"

We suspect these eyes may have contributed to her current snack surplus.
