Ernie is showing signs of maturity...I have told my husband he has one paw in puppyhood, and one paw in adulthood! He is more calm when he needs to be, but still has what I believe to be a quota for activity! I think he keeps track of how much activity he gets......and holds us to it. Quite a character!
Hi everyone! I've enjoyed getting caught up on everyone, but it seems like life is busy for everyone-this thread has been relatively quiet lately!
We are doing well-have encountered some new "teenage" behaviors, like biting the leash when it's time to go in, that we are dealing with-but overall, Thelma Lou is quieting down some and we're all loving life.
She is shedding like crazy right now, though. I think it's because of all the changes in our weather. It's 70 one day, 35 the next. We have not had winter like the rest of the country (2 awesome snow days!) but it's been a roller-coaster ride that her coat cannot figure out.
Our big news is that we are being transferred to Germany this summer! We've been there once before-and actually took a dog with us, so I have a little idea of what to expect, but it's been a while. We are excited and also sad to be leaving a North Carolina. Hopefully we'll get to come back here in three years.
That's pretty much our focus now. Hope you are all staying warm!
so excited for you guys moving to Germany! I always thought that having a dog there would be fantastic, especially with all the walking trails I ran on. Good luck to you guys!
And yes the weather is getting on my last nerve! I just want it to stop raining.
They definitely do like dogs in Germany-I remember seeing dogs in many restaurants and department stores the last time we were there. She will be a well-travelled dog.
Ernie sends his birthday greetings. He's doing great. Finished CGC so now he is Starr's St.Nicholas CGC.... We are taking a break from classes but he has been enjoying long walks and plenty of play! I'm starting to really love his calmer side....here he is proudly wearing his CGC bandana and medal.....ð
Happy birthday to all the October babies!! Molson's bday was on Saturday.. I can't believe it's been 2 years! Time flies when you're having fun right?!
I heard that Goldens calm down around 2 years and as a tough a puppy that Molson was.. I couldn't see him calming down at 2. This past summer he really matured and now he is an amazing dog. Not that he wasn't before!! It was like something just clicked with him.. with us and our bond... it's hard to put into words but I love it!! I think that we were going to start agility classes and I would love to get his CGC.
Buffy turned 2 on Oct. 22 and she had a week of celebrating! It has gone so fast She has accomplished a lot this last year by becoming a Pet Partners Therapy dog and a volunteer at CHLA. Can't wait to see what this next year brings...
Puzzle will be 3 soon. She recently came into my life when i lost my husband in Jan, and she is helping make my heart whole again. While she may look cute and pretty - she is a handful with her Partner in Crime (Ariel the Cat). She even helps me at work on Friday's sometimes. Happy Birthday to all those 2012's B-days out there. Im hooked on Goldens now!!
Puzzle is beautiful, thank you for sharing pictures! I bet Ariel loves her new friend
It's hard to believe that Gretzky is almost three years old. He has calmed down enormously from that first crazy year - although he still has more excess energy than our 7-month-old Hobey!!
He loves car rides, swimming, and meeting new people.
Puzzle has retired from the show circuit (they said she had heavy ears) LOL and she has very much taken to the spoiled life of my house. She loves water, her Soccer Ball and any tennis ball that she can get hold of! She has springs for legs though!! I am new to this site, so i am still learning things.
wow long time no "see" around here! Its great to hear about the puppies! Peaches is doing great. She is our little hall monitor. She loves to boss the other two dogs around and make sure the family is all safe and doing what we are supposed to, ha ha. She is such a wonderful and sweet dog. She got a couple of her foundation titles and her last clearance is on the 13th of August. WE plan on breeding her in January, or if she goes in sooner. I owe her so much, she has turned my whole world in a new direction, I'm all dogs 24/7! LOL
Ernie is doing great!!! He has calmed down tremendously, still a puppy at heart though. always up for silly antics... quite the clown..... We just got back from Cape Cod where he had his first Ocean swim......
How nice to see everyone checking in with updates on their pups! Looks like everyone is having fun! And yay-I'm excited about Peaches' breeding!
Thelma Lou moved to Germany with us last year and she is enjoying the "dogs allowed everywhere" atmosphere. Although I do admit sometimes we don't take her along because we just don't have time to stop and greet every single person and that we pass. She is much more of a people-dog than a dog-dog, that's for sure!
Heading out in a few minutes to go hiking in the Black Forest. Schönen Tag, jeder!
Happy 3rd birthday to all the October pups!!! I can't believe it is three years already. Time has flown by. Our lives have forever been changed since Peaches came to live with us!
