He’s a fine looking chap. Let’s hope he’s obedient, to a fault, as well.

Thanks, FP! She's a handful, a cutie and speed demon when she gets the Zoomies (every morning). Starts Puppy Training 101 in 2 weeks. We're certain she'll pass (if they grade on a curve). More pix when I get better/faster w/the old Hasselblad...

Temporarily. English Cream is her AKC breed, a line of Golden Retrievers

BW: I was trying to make a DEI joke. I've never heard of English Cream, though I do like Irish Cream Ales. I had a young pup once in South Dakota. His name was Charlie. He was a golden retriever. Well, Charlie and his two mates, Mountain a black Labrador, and Felix a Dalmation, would leave our Yellow Farmhouse at night to chase cattle and other livestock.

The first time this happened, us hippies awoke to the three dogs howling on the front porch. They were scooting on their asses across the planks. Some farmer had put Tabasco sauce on their butts.

The troublesome trio of dogs didn't learn their lesson. Two nights later they all disappeared. No doubt they went out chasing livestock again and this time the farmer shot them.
