They were walking with their toddler in a stroller and a golden named Wally. He came right up and laid at my feet and asked for belly rubs. He was so sweet.

...but I adore Goldens as well.

Great dogs. I would love to have one, but I already have a Tuxedo Cat Domino and My Scottie Lass Abigail. Those two are all I can handle!

That goes for pretty much all dogs. I mostly had mixed breed rescues, but all my doggies got old passed over the rainbow bridge. I still have 4 cats. The 3 younger ones miss their doggie brothers, but our new place doesn't have a fenced in yard. We'll probably get another dog eventually, but my wife isn't ready yet.

Still very fatigued and gets confused usually around 7pm. After we listen to soft music for 30-45 mins it seems to pass. Nurse practitioner today prescribed a mild drug to try taking once a day that might ease these episodes and hoping they go away altogether over time as the steroids wash through his system. 🙂

The whole household should be happy and chill after burgers on the grill!

At the dog park if a dog is aggressive he will just run and play. He understands he fits under chairs and the big dogs don't.
Which is fun to watch.
However if we are standing together and a dog runs up aggressively Harper loses it. He is protecting me.

chased a mama bear and her three cubs into the woods. I ran after them screaming for them to stop. I didn't see what happened, but I can guess, as they both ran terrified out of the woods and huddled at my feet.

who looks just like a tiny Chewbacca. She wants to take on every big dog in the world and goes running at them snarling and barking, telling them she is about to clean their clock. You never saw more confused, big dogs… They just can’t believe what they’re seeing.

My biggest fear for her are eagles. A couple have swooped fairly close when we are walking on the farm and I think they would gladly make a snack of her.

but I’m not on a computer, IPhone only, and I’ve given up trying to show photos on DU.I wish it was as easy as it is on other sites, and I’m too impatient to mess with a lot of steps.

But thanks for asking
