What a   great  picture! These are Lori Appel's boys, Jacob, Benjamin, and AJ.  AJ is a chocolate Labrador Retriever puppy, born on November 17th, and pictured here at his first Puppy Plan appointment on January 11, 2001, when he weighed 13 pounds.  It is wonderful that these boys are learning the responsibility of taking care of a new puppy - these are lessons that will serve them well throughout life. It will be fun to watch all three of these boys grow up together!
