Tell us about how Gracie became a part of your family: She was a Facebook find! I posted a message on my Facebook page and a college friend of mine said her parents needed to rehome her and I was so excited because I always wanted a chocolate lab growing up!

How did you come up with the name Gracie? My husband and I used to watch Friday Night Lights and named her after coach Taylor’s youngest daughter.

What's something special or unusual about Gracie? She can sit, shake and occasionally lay on command. Other than that, she's just a normal dog.

What do you like best about Gracie? Gracie is very sweet and loving once she is around you for a bit. She still has lots of energy for her age, but is great with the kids!

What are Gracie's favorite toys & activities? Her favorite toy is anything she can chew and destroy. That’s why she doesn’t get many! And her favorite thing is going for walks! I can’t say the word around her or she knows what I am talking about.
