I decided I wanted a dog after never even really liking dogs because I was always scared of them after being bit in the face by a German shepherd when I was a child. Little did I know how much this dog was going to mean to me. I ordered a yellow lab puppy from Purebred Breeders and in two days picked up the most beautiful, perfect puppy I'd ever seen. Having been suffering from depression ever since my ex husband wrecked our family with his prescription drug addiction six years ago, I was just moving two hours south and beginning law school. My ex launched an attack of lies against me in court, saying I was going to abduct my children, that I was isolating him, etc. And managed to get my two young sons taken from me after they had been with me 90% of the time. So it was just Jawea, my sweet puppy and I, who ended up moving. If she had not been in my life, I know I wouldn't have made it in law school, and I probably would have driven my car off a cliff, because coming home to an empty house without my two sons there is just too much to bear. This dog has saved my life. I bought a calendar of yellow labs and I swear there is not one in there that is as beautiful, as perfect as she is. She is absolutely perfect from whisker to tail. Everyone who sees her, from the vet to the dog owners at the dog park, all say the same thing: "You got yourself an exceptionally good dog there." Her tag says below her name: "She is my heart." And she is. Her disposition is amazing, her spirit, sweet and strong, and she is physically flawless. I named her after Sacajewea, the strong, smart American Indian woman who led Louis and Clark across the great divide and helped them become the first white men to reach the west of this country, while carrying her one year old on her back. I can't thank Purebred Breeders and the person who brought this dog into existence enough for creating the most perfect dog possible to be with me as my best friend and my anchor to this world.
