Lazy Weekend for Golden Retrievers…

Posted on August 25th, 2008

This is how we dogs spent our weekend…

It was the dog day afternoons of summer this past weekend for us Golden Retrievers. Too hot to even go squirrel and bunny chasing on a walk, and too hot to even laze around outside on the deck…

We know what our friend Rusty did over the weekend; he started this awesome Squirrel Patrol club. Anydog is invited to join so you should go and visit Chasing Squirrels with Rusty to find out how. We signed up already! It may have been too hot to chase those pests this past weekend but we are always on high-alert, even inside!

Tell us what you did this weekend. Or tell us what you plan to do for Labor Day weekend. I think we are going to get to go down to Lake Erie for a walk/swim at the beach! Hooray! Plus Labor Day = barbeque which means we’ll be sneaking some delicious table scraps from unsuspecting family members! Hooray again!

Here is a look back at some of my favorite dog pictures from the last few months (of my own family’s dogs of course):

I think I might have shown this before but it’s just too cute to not feature by itself. This is my favorite picture of my one Golden Retriever, Benson.

Okay, so these are my dishwasher duty dogs. Every night after dinner they help out with the pre-wash cycle. (Don’t worry — all the bad stuff is off the plates… :))

Can anyone come up with a quote for these pictures?

We Got Haircuts!

Our father always takes us to get shaved for the summertime since our fur is so long and we prefer to spend summer days lounging around outside chewing sticks. We Golden Retrievers are known for our rich long fur so its always nice to be “naked” for the summer. Our Mother calls us “naked dogs” when we are shaved and we’re totally fine with that.

Here is me laying in my favorite position, the “froggy dog” position (as my sister so eloquently calls it):

And here is my brother lying on the carpeting waiting for everyone to go to bed for the night. Its harder to see his naked body since he is a white Golden Retriever:

In the meantime, my kitty kin is teaching my sister a lesson in how to actively ignore a human:

He prefers not to be bothered when he is outside spying on birds, chipmunks and mice.

Lazy Day for Golden Retrievers

Posted on May 2nd, 2008

It is raining all day today, boo hiss. We Golden Retrievers have to refrain from our normal spring activities of stick-chewing, squirrel- and bunny-chasing, and peeable-plant-finding.

I find comfort in the big brown leather couch my Father bought for me (how silly of him to think there should be room for humans to rest here at night).

While my brother seems to perfectly happy trolloping around the house flinging toys around and smiling for pictures…

Hopefully tomorrow the sun will shine again and we can venture to the park to roll in the mud when our Father isn’t paying attention. :)

10 Reasons Why I Love My Golden Retrievers

Posted on March 31st, 2008

10. The way they play with each other (hopping around like bunnies, tackling each other like puppies and chomping their jaws together – hilarious!)

9. Their loyalty

8. The way they snort when they get really excited and have toys in their mouths

7. The way their bodies “waggle” back and forth when they see me walk in the door

6. The way they absolutely have to sniff people up and down

5. Their lack of modesty (the way they go belly-up at night on the couches, mouths open with their legs spread apart and their front paws in the air

4. Their intelligence and awareness of a daily routine

3. Their lack of intelligence (or perhaps its just selective hearing…)

2. Their cuddly nature

1. Their ability to forgive and unconditionally love us imperfect humans
