then he grabbed it, and now he's chowing down on it - and grabs it and runs if we approach. LOL

Should be good for a couple hours, at least (he can chew the cover off a golfball in under 2 minutes).

My favorite time is when he's sleepy & cuddly.

He likes pig ears a lot, but eats them very quickly now. We wanted him to have something that would last. I'm leery of rawhide chews.

Same color, same curly-ish coat.
I am smiling for you knowing you have years of laughs and awwwwww with this breed.

My sister got a littermate - they both looked curlyish as pups - but hers has a straight coat now. I love those curls!

He's a little guy - much smaller than the last two goldens we had, who tipped the scale at 106 and 118 lbs. I think he weighs about 65-70. My sister's pup is kinda chubby, but Otis is svelte and very active.

I notice he has a blocky head, which is so coveted by British breeders.

I particularly like the copper red coat color.

This is our guy at 1 year:

Our last two predated the kids by a few years, so they only knew them as older fellas.

We lost one at age 10 from cancer, and the other at 15 from old age a couple years ago - it's amazing how you get used to the slow, sedentary lifestyle of an elderly dog - it was quite the readjustment to adapt to an energetic pup again!

It's finally getting nice out here - not so much MUD, which he loves. Our 12 y.o. son is looking forward to taking him on more regular walks again.

We are allowed one large dog.
PIA is only 3 so a Golden Retriever puppy is years away.
