1996 Guestbook
"I like your site. I am new to web page authoring, and I like the format of your page... need to save this one :-)" - K.Y. (12-30-96)
"I liked all the links and the wondeful pictures." - J.S. (12-29-96)
"I liked the graphics & the pictures and the links and the doggy quips - basically Otis in general! You go Otis!" - A.F. (12-29-96)
"I saw your picture and I knew I had to look around. You remind me of my best friend's lab. I bet you two would get along great!!" - L.S. (12-28-96)
"Ok, my two kitties want to make their own comments as they feel I'm just a biased human. They're asking me why I'm bothering to check out the homepage of a dog - Murphy does like your page even if he doesn't own up to it. Great page Otis!" - S.S. (12-27-96)
"When I went to your site today, Harley saw the pic of you on the first page & reacted immediately! He knew you are a kindred spirit! Or maybe he thought he was seeing himself... he's not as *big* as you but don't tell him, OK? Anyway, he cocked his head & barked, & wagged his tail. I switched it to the one of you in the snow & same thing! Hope you'll get to meet each other some day :-)" - S.L. & H (12-10-96)
"What a great page. As a Lab owner myself, I'm always on the lookout for great Lab pages. I'm so impressed I'm awarding you the 'Kelly Knows Excellence' Homepage Award. You deserve it." - L (12-9-96)
"You have a great Web site. Please visit my Web sites and add them to your page as links. I am going to add your page to my links. MY URL's are: http://pages.prodigy.com/bobf/gabbie.htm and http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7920/ (frames page). The title of my pages is 'Gabbie's Doghouse'." - R.F. & G (11-30-96)
"Made me laugh and feel good. Also had many teriffic links. Check out San Francisco SPCA - great organization!" - D.W. (11-30-96)
"Loved the photos and the links" - C.B. (11-30-96)
"That's a great picture of you on your starting page! Otis, I like your page a lot. As a black Lab myself, I'm partial to Labrador Retrievers' web sites! I live with a big dog named Otis also. He's about 115 lbs. part Lab and part Malamute. If you would like to see him (or me) try my web site at http://www.netlabs.net/hp/lew/rudy/. There is a link to Otis's newly created page as well. Keep up the good work. I have added a link to your page from my *friends'* page. I would be thrilled if you would add a link to my page. Your friend, Rudy" - R (11-8-96)

Otis says: "Another Otis?!? I always knew it was a cool name!"

"Great pictures of Otis! What a mountain of muscle... I'd say he's the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Labs! Gryphon: 'Hiya Otis! Gryphon the Lab here. We spoke a few weeks ago. I just wanted to let you know that my dad Rob finally put up my very own Web page! You can take a look at me and *my* pool at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/9911/.' " - R.S. & G (11-4-96)

Otis says: "Schwarzenegger... yeah - that's the ticket. Cathy! Get me an agent - maybe I've got a career in the movies!"

"Ike (21mo black boy) and Babs (8mo yellow girl): 'We love to swim too! Mom can't keep us out of the pool! Our favorite games are fetching the Kong and Frisbee...' Ike: 'I fetch... she just steals the kong from me!' " - M.L.D., I & B (10-28-96)
"Great pictures! Also liked the list of favorite web sites; I haven't seen some of them. Otis, you are one handsome guy! And lucky to have such wonderful humans who obviously care about you a lot." - C.B. (10-28-96)
"Your Mom and Dad did a great job with your web page. You should be proud. I think you need a buddy of the Lab variety. Splash and Ted are so very happy that I would never have a single lab again, they get along well and are both intact males." - E.M., S & T (10-27-96)

A note to Cathy and Harvey: "The affection you share with Otis is special and multipled by the fact that you rescued him. I hope that the people who gave him up realize the treasure they gave you!"

Otis says: "I'd love a 'live-in' pal, but I've got all I can handle right now with Coal, my buddy next door. We have great fun together every day!"

"We live in Florida and have a ball at the beach and in our Uncles swimming pool all year around. We allso do field training at a cousins lake. If you ever come to Florida, pay us a visit. We live at Heatherwood Labs. Asti and Trudi, yellow girls. Mom is going to put our pictures on her homepage this week. Bye for now." - A & T (10-27-96)

Otis says: "Can we go Cathy? Can we - huh? Can we, can we, can we? PLEEEASE!!!"

"...How are you with kids? We have a new sister - 3 month old Samantha, she lives in the house all the time with our parents and we look in at her a lot. She has control of the floor most of the day. Then Joan lets us in at night to smell all the good smells, like baby powder." - O & C (10-26-96)
"You're just great! I love to meet the doggies of my breed. Don't you think a breed 'LAB' is the best worldwide? ;-). I lick your muzzle, Besia - a black Labbie." - B (10-26-96)

Otis says: "As best I can tell from the e-mail address on this comment, Besia lives in Poland! I just love having international friends and Besia is right - Labs are the best worldwide!"

"Otis, you look just like my 8 month old puppy, Toby. Well, Toby probably doesn't weigh as much as you, but give him a couple months!" - S.M. & T (10-2-96)
"Our Jake is 9 months and weighs 75 lbs and growing every day. Now I know what he will look like when he 'Grows Up'. He also likes to play Basketball. Thanks for the pictures to enjoy." - D.W. & J (10-1-96)
"Black and white pictures sure do capture the moment. I can only hope that my four month old yellow male looks like you when he grows up. You are such a handsome boy!" - J & J.J. (10-1-96)
"Great pics... Man Otis you are big. I hope to be as big as you when I grow up." - J (9-30-96)
"LOVE IT!! Otis, you are too cute for words. I wish we lived closer... we have 3 labs (one of each color, of course!!), you'd be welcome to play at our house!" - C.V.S. (9-30-96)
"Swimming and balls, what could be better? It was nice visiting with you and looking at your pictures. You can visit us at http://members.tripod.com/~jbland/index.html. You may have to reload once to get all the pictures but it doesn't take long. See you on Labrador-L!" - J & S (9-30-96)
"Great Pictures!" - L.S., A & C (9-30-96)
"Loved the photo of you holding a basketball in your mouth! Well, Otis, we've signed the guestbook, and now that we've torn a hole in the liner of our pool we'd love an invite to take a swim in yours! Good thing there's four of us, you outweigh us two-to-one!" - L.M., R, B, B & R (9-30-96)
"I like all the cool pictures. I'd like to know all of Otis' measurements. I've got a 100 lbs. black lab at home and I thought he was big!" - K.G. (9-30-96)
"How about some girl dog pictures?" - R.M. (9-30-96)
"What a great looking dog!" - H.W. (9-30-96)
"You are a great looking dog who looks like he really knows how to have fun!" - C.M. (9-30-96)
"We are your friends...even though you did not come and greet us last time we visited. You know we love the food... the pool... the company... etc." - E & L (9-29-96)
