2020 sucks with covid and all so the wife and I got us a therapy puppy. She is a red retriever and had to drive all the way down from NY to Bama to pick her up at 7 weeks old. It was well worth it. Ry a gem and I recommend getting g a puppy to stay active and keep you on the wheel of exercise daily to fight the beast! Stay strong as my goal is to kick her ass and wear her down which will be no easy feat. Ha ha.. Ry has brought joy to our family during covid and apca diagnosis in Jan. Stay strong!

I could not agree more. Keep fighting brother. We just got a 10 week old golden as a brother to our 3 yr old golden.

I don't have memory without being with dogs, I've seen this cartoon slides somewhere, that shows the progression of life from teenager to senior. It starts out showing a person having many friends, then as life goes on, the friends count lesson, finally to just the person and dog.

I have two dogs, a five year old male Australian Shepherd Red Merle, he's nuts, tries to herd anything moving. The other, a 16 year old male American Eskimo, looks great for the age. Although, the prostate not working so good, needs to pee every 4 hours. I think we're sinked up overnight in harmony with my heat flashes.

I have a white English Cream golden and a rescue Shepard mix. I take them for long walks every day. The days I don’t feel like it, they look up at me with their big brown eyes asking me why we haven’t gone yet. I bring out the leashes and their excitement is always like the first day. They never feel sorry for me and they never stop loving me. Whether I am gone for an hour or a week, their excitement to see me is as if they hadn’t seen me in two years. To me, life without a dog is not really worth living. I will definitely have one till the end with a promise from someone To take them when I am gone. Gooooood boyyyyy......

Thanks for lighting up my day with some puppy love

He comes from an impressive bloodline. Great bones and muscles. Enjoy this beautiful dog. I grew up with an orange Belton English setter. They are wonderful dogs.

Wonderful! Congratulations on Ry. Look

Up the Puppy Culture early training

Program online. Great preparation for a dog’a nervous system to be in the world in positive social and fearless ways. The early weeks are crucial

And it’s fun.
