Dogs are so amazing. Everyday Abbey does something and I just look at her and think how intelligent she is.
Your golden retriever sounds sweet.....Abbey is part golden retriever (mom) and chocolate poodle (dad) I think I've done a post on her....maybe last year. I can't remember. Probably time to do another. She's an amazing dog.
I get to dogsit quite often for my neighbors Labradoodle. He is huge, and the smartest dog I have ever been around.
After Griz died, I have never had another dog, so it's fun to do a bit of doggie daycare for my friends! I don't have any pets at all right now...unless you count my two fish and my worms in the compost bin!
