SO WE MADE THE PLUNGE AND GOT A NEW DOG. WELL HE'S TECHNICALLY A PUPPY, 14 1/2 MONTHS OLD. A FRIEND AT WORK WAS LOOKING FOR A HOME FOR HER GOLDEN RETRIEVER AND EVEN THOUGH I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WAITED, SHE WAS READY. SO WE DECIDED TO GO WITH IT. SO HE IS A PURE BRED GOLDEN AND JUST ONE OF THE SWEETEST DOGS I HAVE EVER MET. HIS FUR IS SO SOFT AND HE IS SO GENTLE WITH THE KIDS. HE HAS SOME JUMPING ISSUES AND DOESN'T REALIZE THAT HE IS 90LBS BUT OVERALL IS JUST DOING PUPPY THINGS. WE ARE GETTING PRIVATE TRAINING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS NOT UNDER 1. SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP. I HAVE TO SAY HE HAS DEFINATELY GROWN ON ME AND WE JUST ADORE HIM NOW. I HAD TO LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT THE BREED BUT HIS IS SUCH A GREAT DOG THAT IT IS WORTH IT. HIS NAME IS OLIVER AND WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE HIM AS A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY!
