My silver labrador pup, named Coho also coincidently turns 1 years old today. He went from 8 pounds to a bouncing playful 99 pounds. I swear he is part spider monkey!

Here is Coho all dressed up for his birthday.


Coho, was named after a Silver Salmon also called “Coho”. The day I got him he ran and jumped in the river. I thought I was going to lose him or have to swim in the icy cold river to get him. He swam perfectly and looked at me like “no problem”.

He has been a real bonus and entertaining, active outdoor adventure buddy, and best friend addition to my life. I had no idea he was going to be this big, but that's ok with me if he can’t fit on my kayak or SUP.



Coho prefers to carry his own leash.


Coho stills jumps onto any water he can. Especially if there is a stick or a ball.




HAHAHAHA Showing his spider monkey ways in this video.
