My coworkers’ brother haas a ten yr. old yellow Lab ,very active and playful, but being medicated for epilepsy.  
Apparently, he is off medication with no ill effects but I would expect to get him checked out  
The brother is moving to FL tomorrow and we just found out he is planning to have Lucky **put to SLEEP** because he doesn’t want to be bothered with a dog in FL.:(:mad:

If anyone can help with a new loving dog, please call me at 847-562-1100 (Mike Gilbert)

I will pick up the dog and deliver him.  
I am going to take the dog today but due to financial constraints, I can’t keep him long.

Mike, contact Midwest Labrador Retriever Rescue. [http://www.midwestlabrescue.org/](http://www.midwestlabrescue.org/)

The coworker’s brother is a heartless asshole who doesn’t deserve to have a dog.

update: The dog has been off meds for 6mo.- no reason given for the stoppage. He gets seizures but hopefully they will be mitigated by resumption of phenobarbitol ($15/mo.)

Go with the rescue folks. I’d take him but I’m already at my town’s legal limit of dogs (3).
