I'm not ashamed of the fact that I'm taller than most of my breed... and I've been called the Yao Ming of Golden Retrievers. With most of our photos, it's hard to distinguish the size difference... but check this out!
My brother, the Luke [on the left, 74#] is the classic height/weight/shape of a male Golden Retriever. I'm much taller, but skinny [90#]. And I must carry at least 20# of fur weight! Ha!
The difference in our sizes can be seen a bit here, too... as we position ourselves in a high traffic pathway!
Following a stressful overnight, today's long nap was particularly refreshing... so I was real happy to bust out into the back yard when the Mom came home!
Dark day, dark photo... Cute, but dark!
Light matters not to me. A goat is a goat!
I look repentant in this pitcher... but it is a misperception, on a counta I am not.
And speakin of NOT repentant... here is a video that the Mom filmed of us today...
I have lost count of the Mom's sleep quotient, but I know it is substantially less than what Luke and I logged after she left for work this morning. And that works out just fine for me, since napping is one of my most favoritest of hobbies!
And now I close with a wish for bleu and quiet skies... on a counta that's the thing the Luke is wishing for the most right now!
I'm not sure what it all means, but Mondays are Treatment Days... and the Luke is whisked away without the normal breakfast fanfair that we traditionally share.
Once he has boarded the trolley, I am served my tasty breakfast. And I'll be honest, once my belly is happy and full, I usually lose track of the fact that I'm still home and the Luke is not...
But believe you me, by the time he strolls back in... I am ready to pat / sniff him down, because in the name of justice, it is only right that he explains his whereabouts for this entire day.
I am happy to have him home, though!!!
I'm keeping tabs on him. I know some days are different than others around here. I'm trying to be a sweet boy, but some times my ornery mischievous side overrules. Mostly though, I am just so happy to have Life return to normal...
Ahhh... And Praise all things Good, I am free of the cone!
You see, I've been trusted out side the cone of evil influence for the past few days... but knowing how nervous I am with change, Mom thought it prudent to adorn me with it this morning. She explained it to me by sayin... "The last thing I want to see you adorned with is a raw hiney!"
Happy and cute... downright adorable really. According to the Mom, anyway!
And here is 50 seconds of sweetness...
Before leaving you, I would like to thank my dear friends...Scout & Freyja and their Mom... for the wonderful design that is unfolding on my little corner of the web! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this site truly reflect...
I am love, lovable and loved. I'm about gentle nudge, head in lap, circular tap dance, fetch, respect, bed and nap time position. I am Yao Ming of GRRH basketball team, and likely world's tallest Golden Retriever. I'm gentle, playful and have most excellent sense of humor. Quiet disposition make my intelligence and cleverness profound. Love playin game "thtick what thtick" with the Mom, but it no fun til she make me thpit thtick out!
