Playing pattycake with the water!
After the loss of Takoda we just didn’t feel right around the house. While the big dogs are a lot of loving, there was an open spot in our hearts to love another doggy, so Janet went in search of a dog to fill that spot.
We now have “April”, an 8yo Golden Retriever, who has stolen our hearts, a lot of toys, and 99% of the bed. She has worked her way quickly into “old girl, top girl” position with the Leos, who seem to take it in stride. We thought we might have trouble with Skimmer (a 2 yo male teenager) accepting her but it seems that we should have been more worried about her accepting him! She’s not exactly tolerant of the the young whippersnapper, but he has deferred to her in all instances, and she is learning that he’s more than just a mass of fur that moves frantically. All is calm on the homefront and April feels more and more comfortable each day.
I can’t say enough good things about Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies . If you’re looking for a Golden, check them out!
