Collin Standon, 24, is living the dream after deciding to keep an entire litter of Golden Retriever puppies — in addition to the three dogs he already owned.
Standon, who lives in Texas, already was a pet parent to dogs Chloe and Sam — who later went on to have a litter of nine puppies — in addition to Chloe’s sister Emma. Later, he adopted Buddy from a shelter, so the golden retriever wouldn’t be put down.
Now, he has 13 fully grown dogs: Buddy, Chloe, Sam, Emma and the nine puppies, named Rocky, Moose, Raider, Cowboy, Pumpkin, Sunshine, Missy, Angel and Callie.

I have 2 and they are my best friends.
Okay, I hear ya. All a matter of what you’re used to.
I was house hunting some years back and wondered why this one property was priced so cheap. Until the wind shifted.
Not even a Mexican Hairless.
My wife goes to work, my kid goes to school or work, and I’m left with 3 dogs under 2 years old.
The cattle dog is bred to have endless energy and I’m left watching over them all day long.
I can’t let them in back because they will kill the chickens.
I can’t let them in the wayback because the horses will kill them.
My wife and kid buy them toys they instantly destroy and leave cotton balls all over the yard.
The two males are homos.
The wife and daughter have never held up to their pledge to pick up the poop.
They tear their doggy bed apart and I have to pick up all the stuffing.
The two cats (well, one is missing) are terrorized and refuse to come in the house.
They lifted the lid off the Thanksgiving and Easter tubs and destroyed anything that looked like a doggy toy.
I have to get to the Amazon packages before them.
One got trapped in the pond and ripped up the pond liner.
If I can’t find something, I look in the place where they destroy things.
If I’m not attentive enough, they will barf, piss or poop in the house.
One walks between my legs.
Two sit on my feet.
The girl needs me for loud noises.
The boys attack the leaf blower and vacuum cleaner and the sprinklers.
The boys jump in my truck every time I open the doors, even if I’m not going anywhere.
I can’t sit on the floor without them thinking I want to play.
That went over well today when I cleaned out the fire place.
The newest dog we have had for about two months.
I was so mad that they let me name him.
His name is Mangy.
the question is will they eat him when he dies. The cats would
Those retrievers will have to retrieve a lot of gold to pay for that much food.
The 22lb bag of dog food has gone from $21.00 to $38.00 in 9 months. Now THAT’S INFLATION. I also give them hamburger and vegetables every other day. Getting pretty spendy.
I would only have thirteen dogs if I could control them and I was fully retired. That’s a full-time job to care for so many dogs. You’re at risk of the dogs forming a pack without you.
I love Goldens, but 13 is a bit extreme.
LOL
You should submit professionally as a writer.
Great stuff.
Don’t know if you’ve heard of the late Lewis Grizzard.
Humor writer from Georgia who had a dozen bestsellers (I read them all and his others, too):
If I Ever Get Back to Georgia, I’m Gonna Nail My Feet to the Ground , If Love Were Oil, I’d Be About a Quart Low ,.
Elvis Is Dead and I Don’t Feel So Good Myself and
My Daddy Was a Pistol and I’m a Son of a Gun.
Cute.
I despise the phrase “pet parent” and the inherent implied zoophilia.
I have two grown daughters, one married, one single. They both say they will not be having kids, so we consider our two cats our grandchildren…🐱🐱🙂

Indeed. “A Day In the Life Of Haddit” like would make for good video as well. Just sayin...
Probably enough to pay for the dog food, I’d think.

I’ll look him up.
Thanks. Good chance for people here to see some of his humor.
It’s better to have died a small child than to be a politician who gets caught in a scandal during a slow news month.

Life is like a dogsled race. If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
To my girl’s retriever, tennis balls are like crack. I finally got a Nerf Dog ball launcher to save my arm.
He would be great finding a missing child. All we would need to do is show the dog a picture of the missing child and say “this kid has got your ball. Find him and we’ll get it back.”
