Sorry for the typos that resulted in misspellings... I am wrestling with my French Bulldog puppy, Louie. He is 14 weeks old and hungry. Better get his dinner now.
Oh, lucky you. A new puppy. We lost our precious Golden Retriever to pancreatic cancer about the time I underwent a total knee replacement. (2 years ago) I have not replaced him because 1) he is irreplaceable and 2) my husband doesn’t want another dog. He thinks that I would be incapable of caring for a dog because of my limited mobility. I really miss a dog, however.
I love Goldens, but I’m not sure that I could handle another one.
Our most recent Golden was a rescue dog who was about 1 1/2 when we got him and was considered a “wild child” by the rescue organization. He grew into a very well behaved dog who NEVER barked and who went to work with us every day. He was very well mannered. At home we could just turn him out to do his business (we have 12 acres). He knew our boundaries and never wandered away. He was a very civilized dog and we traveled by car all over the country with him. He had a flat, rather than curly, coat and didn’t even shed as much as some. I shipped my piano to one of my daughters in NY a month ago and rearranged my living room and found a rawhide chew hiding under aone of the couches! A little rememberence of Max.
