Pay attention carefully and you’ll virtually hear the guts emojis flying round as Jess opens up about her 10-year-old heartthrob of a canine, Reggie, a chocolate Labrador with the vitality of a pet, and the swagger of the Hollywood star who impressed his title.
“Reg is my coronary heart canine and my soulmate. I’m 1,000% dedicated to him, and I owe him greater than I may ever hope to correctly clarify,” shared Jess. “I’ve seen your work and it’s attractive…I do know it is possible for you to to seize the wonderful, magical creature that he’s and the profound love I really feel for him.”
Reggie isn’t simply your common Lab; he’s a charismatic, ball-catching, extroverted celebrity who just lately made the cross-country trek from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh for a one-of-a-kind session. Jess thought this could be an ideal probability for Reggie to bask in his love for displaying off. Spoiler alert: she wasn’t incorrect.
A Title Match for a Legend
Earlier than we dive into the action-packed day I had with Reggie, let’s take a second to understand the story behind his title. You see, Jess and her husband, Tim, are massive followers of the cult basic Slap Shot, a film a couple of minor league ice hockey staff that includes Paul Newman as Reggie Dunlop, the staff’s scrappy player-coach. Seems, Paul Newman liked that position, and apparently, so does Reggie, as a result of this canine embodies each little bit of that spirit!
Tim thought the title “Reggie” can be excellent for his or her future Lab, and as soon as Jess noticed Reggie and his littermates at simply 5 weeks outdated, the title was a no brainer. I imply, what higher title for a lovable, energetic, showman of a canine than one impressed by Paul Newman himself?
Jess provides, “I agreed, particularly since we had bonded over Slap Shot. After we introduced him house, we shortly realized it was an ideal title for him as he’s most positively a Reggie. However, like most pets-a minimum of those I grew up with-he has a number of nicknames. As soon as somebody requested me if he was named Reggie after Elton John’s actual title and I mentioned no, however that truthfully wouldn’t be a stretch. He’s positively a flowery little man and infrequently goes by Sir Reginald.”
Mr. Good-looking in Motion
When Jess describes Reggie, you possibly can really feel the love.
“I believe he’s essentially the most good-looking little man. I really like his options; he’s a stunning Lab” she says “He’s so robust and athletic. It brings me such pleasure watching him soar and catch the ball after we are enjoying fetch and watching him tear by the woods on hikes, dodging bushes and leaping over fallen branches prefer it’s second nature. Character-wise, he has the largest coronary heart and he’s so clever. He’s obtained this stunning duality of being a troublesome man but additionally being a really delicate soul.”
I can affirm Reggie is each bit the athlete she says he’s. We had a blast at Brady’s Run Park the place Reggie placed on a full demonstration of his athletic prowess. He chased his favourite ball like a professional, displaying off these muscular legs that make you suppose he’s been secretly hitting the health club.
And let’s speak about that duality Jess talked about. Reggie’s not simply all muscle and motion. Between his bursts of zoomies, Reggie would usually examine in with Jess, ensuring she was watching his each transfer, like a real mama’s boy. He’s additionally that Lab who’ll soften right into a chocolate puddle of emotions the second you give him a scratch behind the ears. Delicate, athletic, magnetic—Jess scored the hat trick of canine allure with this man!
Reggie the Showman
Jess had a hunch that Reggie would thrive in entrance of the digicam, and boy, did he ship! She had talked about how Reggie tends to get aggravated when she takes footage of him (I can completely relate with my Hunter who does the very same factor), however because it wasn’t her behind the digicam this time, he seized the chance to strut his stuff.
“He loves flirting and displaying off,” she laughed, including, “I believe he’ll benefit from the probability to point out off and be the focal point.”
And that was clear from the second we arrived on the park. Reggie was all about being the star of the show-posing, working, splashing by the creeks, and lighting up the place like he was scoring a game-winning purpose!
Reggie gave us gold. Whether or not it was his massive goofy grin after catching a ball mid-air or his targeted, intense stare as he honed in on making an attempt to catch a fish within the cool creek, it was onerous to not be in awe of him. It’s protected to say we exhausted him after a day of continuous motion, however you realize what they are saying: A drained Lab is a cheerful Lab. And Reggie, properly, he was each.

This selection wasn’t nearly aesthetics; it was the proper souvenir for a canine with such a vibrant persona and coronary heart.
