I have always been a "dog person" but if I am being honest I don't think I have always been a "big dog person". We had a shih poo and two shih tzus when I was growing up and aside from my Grandparents black lab, Bear, I never spent much time around a breed bigger than any cat. My parents got a golden retriever when I was home for Christmas break my freshman year of college and I fell in love. Goldens are the cutest puppies (see pictures below), and just the kindest, sweetest, most gentle dogs in the whole world. My [super] senior year of college the two parent dogs of our retriever (Tug) were due to have their last litter. When I was home over Thanksgiving I stopped by to see the 3 dogs that were left from the original litter of 12. What started out as an "I am thinking about buying a dog" visit quickly turned into "I will be back in 3 weeks to pick her up!" Boo was the blondest and the smallest of her siblings and I got her at a discount because they had to amputate part of her tail [BEST BARGAIN OF MY LIFE].
Boo has many great qualities a few of which are:
-she doesn't hold grudges and is almost never in a bad mood.
-loves all people (except those with lawn mowers), everyone is a friend.
-she makes the dishwasher more or less obsolete (I call her my "pre-wash").
-she loves to cuddle.
-she is the most gentle dog I have ever known (which is displayed in her sock obsession- not one of which she has destroyed!)
She loves us and we love her. Happy birthday Boo Dog!!
Birthday girl took a trip to dad's office
Our little fam at the church's Trunk of Treat night. Boo was loving all the kids and they loved her too! There was a little girl dressed like a tiger that walked right up to her and started kissing her snout. So precious. Trunk or treat will probably be Boo's new birthday tradition. Hope you had a happy Halloween and a wonderful weekend ahead.
