Congratulations, Bluebird. All the Golden Retrievers I've known were wonderful, sweet-natured doggies!
I would love to have a puppy. But my cat Cha-Cha would not understand, spoiled thing that she is!

Thanks, Chatty! I'm glad we talked, also, because now it feels so right. I know we'll be ready. Going to go check out petsmart.com

Hello, this is wonderful, we all love pups and they all deserve wonderful homes, but please also considering adopting a rescued puppy. This country kills 20 million healthy dogs and cats a year because of no home. Puppies are frequently given up to animal control after unexpected litters from unsterilized strays or dogs are born. Over 50% of dogs that end up in animal control are pure breeds. Also, I read where there are tons of puppies and kittens being born to the dogs and cats left behind from Katrina. So please, consider adoption, also. There are so many in need.

Kelly, the reason we decided on a puppy is that our 8 year old is so afraid of dogs. We knew if he had one that started out small, he'd be able to handle it better. Our local humane society had advertised that they had Golden puppies rescued from Katrina but by the time I saw the ad and called, they were all spoken for and there was a waiting list, besides!

BB, Didn't you say this was your first puppy? I think you said a long time ago that you were thinking of getting one, if I remember correctly. I think everyone should have one puppy in their lifetime.
