golden lab retriever?

my golden retriever and me
I did not go anywhere for ten years because my golden retriever would have a nervous breakdown if she was away from the family. She bit a family member when we tried to let her sleep over at another person's house and she would not eat one bite at the kennel, threw up everyday, and fell apart.

THIS TIME, when we got a puppy we PRACTICED boarding. She would go for a couple of hours, I would pick her up, she would practice an overnight visit, and I would pick her up, practiced getting a bath at the kennel, etc.

We taught the first dog to not be able to live without us. We taught the new dog that sleepovers are not the end of the world. It is a really good skill for dogs to learn.

Alternatively, a LOT of hotels take pets!
Having just lost my golden retriever a
few short weeks ago, I can totally relate to how your are feeling. It never gets any easier to lose our fur babies. Hugs to you.
She a lab retriever mix
We watch Cesaer all the time. A lot of what he does has helped as far as walking, my dominance as the pack leader. I've been doing what I can on my own but decided we need professional help. I spoke with animal control about her again and got yet another story of what background they knew on her so I'm not sure what her past is. I'm not a fan of crating and don't plan on ever doing that. Lil also has to have minimal exercise due to her bum knee but we make sure to play and walk as much as she can handle. She seems to want to have friends but needs help being able to actually do it. Plus I'd like her not to eat smaller animals (cats, squirrls).

I do have to give her a gold star as far as her work with my kids. She's listening to sit/drop/stay commands from the kids and the kids are doing better at giving her correct commands and praise as well.

I have a golden too...
And they are the sweetest dogs in the world. I can't imagine anyone treating an animal that way. I hope they go to jail or, at the least, get fined big time. Makes me angry. I live in a part of California that is very hot in the summertime, and we let our dog get in the pool with us all she wants, but mostly I let her lie around inside all day when it's as hot as it is here today (107 degrees, yuck!).

You definitely did the right thing by calling the authorities. I would have wanted to take him in too, but I would have been worried like you about getting in trouble for it. Bless your heart. At least the poor dog isn't suffering anymore.
There were 5 Golden Girls

Sophia, of course!!!.....Wise-crackin' momma...she never missed a beat!   It's all in the timing!

1 Sheltie, 1 golden, 1 Brat Cat
Presently:
Crissie, bi blue Sheltie.
Jamie, golden
Kazie, AKA Brat Cat.

Just in the past year I lost:
Starting in March, 06 my 21-year-old kitty Dinger, then in July 10-year-old Taz Duh Golden (not too bright), 15 days later, B.J.'s a cat who absolutely loved Taz and I know mourned himself to death!, then in Feb 07, 'Stash a 15-year-old kitty.

Happily, I've had many grace my heart before this and are now waiting for me at the Bridge. Three are my absolute heart dogs....Jennifer and Tyde were goldens and Casie was a Sheltie/Shepard mix. I miss these little critters so much!
Which of the four Golden Girls do you most resemble and why? SM
I would say I am most like Dorothy. I give and get hurt,  I love and am left, always trying to help my mother!  I tell it like it is!! 
Love the pic. My golden who died 2
months ago LOVED the snow and would always run out in the yard, stick his whole head in and then do a slow dive and wiggle around in it. Thanks for the great memory.
My golden gets hot spots in the summer sm
I shave the hair off around the hot spot and put Neosporin cream on it. Oh, and check your dogfood. We figured out he can only eat Purina Beneful or Pedigree. He devleoped many hot spots to Walmart brand and when we switched him back, the hot spots cleared right up. I keep his hair short and thinned out in the summer to help his skin get some air.
I have a Golden too - I hope that poor dog makes it.
It certainly didn't deserve to suffer like that. Thank God you took action and helped it. Keep us posted on its condition.
Meant - Lucy is my golden's name, not mine. nm

Golden Globes - anyone watch last night

First time in a long time I agreed with most of the choices they picked for winners.


I was especially thrilled when whatever category someone from the HBO series "John Adams" was up for they won.  What an excellent and superb series that was.  I went and bought it when it came to DVD and I have watched it many many many times.


I was also equally thrilled that whatever Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were affiliated with did not win anything.  That really made my night. 


There were a couple Hollyweird people I lost what little respect I had for them.  Glenn Close.  When they announced the foreign winner (some Israel movie) they showed her face and you could tell she was very angry about that.  And the other was Angelina Jolie.  My DH had told me earlier yesterday that there was trouble because Angelina was stating something about Ann Hathaway "kissing her way into Hollywood" or something along those lines, and when they announced Anne's name for one of the awards they tuned in to Angelina's face and she gave Brad a look that I can't even describe, but it was obvious what she was thinking. 


Anyway.....loved the Globes last night. 


I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time

I'm so sad for this poor dog.  I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.    I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.


To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc.  (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).


The students at the Golden Lab Academy eagerly awaited their first fieldtrip.

Estelle Getty of the Golden Girls passed away this morning SM
at age 84 after suffering with advanced dementia for the last several years.  What a talent.  The Golden Girls is my all time favorite show and I still watch it every day and never get tired of it. 
Do you LOVE your husband? Want to spend your golden years with him?? Drop this fantasy at
s
I did. I leave all judgments up to the Lord, I take his golden rule to "love thy neighbor as the
to be the supreme rule, try to live by it always. I do not have to condemn, or judge in any way, Jesus is the supreme judge, what is wrong with extending earthly concern, friendhip, and love? Sometimes that works oh so much better when trying to "enlighten' someone than judgment, or hate, or harshness. That is all.
