We have two dogs, and usually have three at the house. They don't bark, they are kept on-leash when off our property, and I am the only one who sees their poop. Barking dogs are an owner issue. Address the owners, address the issue.

I think my dogs enjoy the Lake as much as humans!

We have become "cat people" but no pets have ever beat our Goldens. They are both sadly gone for many years. No better breed IMHO.

Someone once told me that living with a Golden was like living with an idiot relative.. (no insult to anyones relatives! )

My favorite Golden story comes from a friend of my Dad. Frank and his wife where getting ready to go out for the evening, and husband Frank was assigned to go out and find "Walter" their Golden. Old Walter was always off visiting the neighbors. As Frank drove around in the pouring rain looking for Walter, he finally spotted him on a neighbors front porch. He rolled down the window and called Walter into the car. Walter jumped into the back seat. When he got home, he found his "Walter" already on his front porch.. and had to return the other Golden to his home. Long story, but anyone that has or has had a Golden will "get it".

See title above, I'd rather have a Golden than some of my relatives... cause they sure can be idiots!

AND............... the story about Frank and Walter is a riot........ and I always think the name of the man in On Golden Pond was Walter so I found that even funnier! (I know, I know, his name was Norman................so sue me! )

TY, Steve A, your post just tickled my funny bone -- on a night when I especially needed it!

I do think you were close, Walter is the fish!

Her are my two Cairn Terriers, Khaleesi (on the right) and Harry.
(His middle name is Drogo! Hers is Daenerys. )

They both don't like getting wet, but they sure like rides on boats! He turned three in April and she turned two in January. They are blood cousins - his papa and her mama were litter mates. I love my little fur babies. They are my surrogate children.

Have you taught them how to drive, yet?

Khalee tried to drive! I wanted to get a picture of her front feet up on the handlebars, but I was afraid I'd drop my phone. Maybe Paul can catch that for me sometime.
