Webbed Feet

I learned something yesterday. Not just one of those normal lessons, but a lesson about somebody that I care dearly about. Somebody that I live with. Somebody that often shares a bed with me.

He has webbed feet.

He's been with me almost every day since October 2003, and before him, I had one just like him for five months. And all this time I never knew that Labrador Retrievers have webbed feet.

(This is the part of the blog where you laugh and shake your head)

I did a little research into this topic - just to see how *coughcoughstupidcough* ignorant I really was. Well, I went to several websites about labs, and they all specifically mentioned their webbed feet and how it makes them such good swimmers. Now, if a dog can keep a secret like this, how much more can the people in our lives? That's one of those things both exciting and frightening at the same time. Exciting because of the diversity that comes with the human spirit - God did not create us to be dull, boring, or simple creatures! However we can also hide from those we love all too easily.
