Yes Kai came into my life, what a sweet soft gentle 'big' boy just 5 months old. I know with every fibre of my being, my golden angels souls have joined with this little one's, to bring me joy and love once again. Thank you my Bridge Angels, I love you more than I could ever express. XXX

Yes people A Puppy, never thought I'd have another one, especially after my foster pup Bella, she opened my eyes to what having a puppy was all about ! Although he loves to play, there are some moments when Kai just wants what we call in my family 'luv, luvs'. He actually put his front legs around you and snuggles his head deep in your chest or whichever part of your body he can reach.
As he's come straight from the breeder, there are certain things I don't think he's seen before. We took him out the next day to get him a few supplies, it was to a local retail park (I think you call them shopping malls). He was quite amazed to see all these vehicles and people. I of course kept him very close. Another first for him was stairs, I don't think he'd ever come into contact as it was an extremely large home where he came from, and some of her dogs were in an enormous kitchen/living room, with cages dotted about, though outside we viewed a very professional set of runs for most of her Goldens. So no, stairs were something else, Kai will put his two front paws on the first couple of stairs but that's as far as it gets ! However I've found he loves the TV and will sit in front of it for quite some time watching whatever is on, so to those who say they can't see, come and watch my Kai.
He's the perfect little boy, he loves playing with all the children in our extended family, and has not been phased by 6 children at the same time (all of which are under 6 years). That is something to be proud of. Although I must say he does have one child, our Izzy, with whom I think he has a very special bond. She was one of the first to play with him when I picked him up. The very next day all you could hear were fits of giggling all afternoon. Kai and Izzy were chasing each other around and playing fetch and throw with various toys, you would have to see it to believe it, was like two kids playing not a dog and child.
He has barked, if you can call it that, just a couple of times. I am very surprised how laid back he can be, for a pup. He loves to play, have a short walk, then sleep curled up in one of the various beds I've dotted around the place. I'm sure he's going to give me lots of wonderful memories, like his uncles Fluke & Harry, and of course his Aunty Simba, my first loves, forever remembered deep within my heart.
Here is a photo I've managed to get on this iPad, hopefully more soon.
