Golden Retrievers are a good choice for a family pet.  They are obedient, playful, intelligent, well-mannered and extremely good with kids.  Golden Retrievers enjoy being with people.

Golden Retrievers do need a lot of exercise, but not as much as some other Retrievers. Their activity requirements can be met with a couple of daily walks and tossing a stick in the yard. They enjoy most outdoor activities their owners participate in, such as walking, running, hiking, biking, swimming or playing chase with kids.

Some dogs just want to have fun … like this doggie who is trying his best to be silly with silly string!

Thanks to A Dog’s Purpose for sharing their Dog Pics from Friends.  Check out the book by Bruce Cameron.

“I’m serious … I’m not walking past that prissy poodle!”

This little doggie doesn’t like getting his feet wet … don’t you love his little red rain boots?  Only in New York!

Moe is quite the family dog … he likes to have meals with everyone else.  Looks like he’s waiting for his milk and cereal!

Thanks to Dawn, from Michigan, for sharing this cute doggie photo with us.

Is this for me?

Nevin, one of our favorite whippet dogs, just had his third birthday … Happy Birthday, Nevin!

Hmmm ... I smell yummy dog treats!

We’ve all asked for a “doggie bag” a few times before leaving a restaurant … but New Yorkers seem to have found a new definition of Doggie Bag.  Lots of New York City dog owners love to carry their petite dogs around in their shoulder bags.  How nice for doggie!
