[Clintons Are White Trash]

I'll see your 80 lbs and raise you 105 lbs. My golden retriever is the biggest bundle of love and loves to play like that - tho he doesn't mouth like he did when he was a puppy. He will happily greet you face to face when you visit and remove every bit of makeup he can. (A habit we are trying to break!)

This is completely blown out of proportion. Kids this age should be able to rough house with a dog and get a few scratches without being traumatized.

Our golden is 140 lbs of wuf wuf.. getting old and not as spry as he was. He will, however, try to get as close as possible for a little loveing which sometimes makes you feel as if you're in a squeeze chute....
The other two young clowns like to go out and challenge the local coyotes to a howling match right after we go to bed.

Amen. That's what dogs are for.
