Ruff.Ruff.
Today is Remington's 3rd birthday!
he's real excited I woke him from his nap to stickElmo on his head, I'm a real pest like that sometimes. ha.
When we got Remington we had waited about 6 years to get a puppy. We wanted to wait until we had a yard and time for walks and such. That's why I'm so bonkers over him. I love dogs. He was such a cute puppy... a mess, but a cute mess...
He's always been goofy, I guess
When Remi was about 1 years old, we read in a book that Golden Retrievers become fully mature in size at age 2... I gulped because he was already huge. Then it said they didn't become mentally mature until age 3... I gulped again because he was still chewing the house down and rearranging our landscaping on a regular basis. Well, he finally DID stop growing at 2. As far as the mental thing goes... we're still waiting. ha.
This was at about 7 months old, at his peak of MESSINESS.*what, did I do something wrong??*
You say, no digging in the rain??Aww, shucks.
hee-hee. glad those days are over. ;-)
Happy Birthday Dog!
(as Ashlyn calls him)
Here's some Remi Fun Facts:
-Remi weighs 80 pounds... YES, *8*0*!
-His favorite snack is Peanut Butter
-I brush his furry little self everyday... I wish there was money to be made in dog hair collection.
-Remi has food allergies and has to eat a special dog food... ahh-humm EXPENSIVE dog food. We've been trying to find employment for him for a while now, if you know of anything let me know.
-He has a nice set of chompers and I think he can destroy anything on command.
-He doesn't know how to swim... or maybe he just doesn't want to get his head wet. Either way, it's bad. We live by the Lake! embarrassing.
-He puts his chin in my lap at least once a day... to tell me he needs a hug. His life is rough.
-He's been in dog training for 2 1/2 years and still will not sit and stay unless I have a treat. The stubbornness is remarkable.
-His favorite thing to do is to find a good stick to chew on and go for walks.
-His most devious desire is to get Ashlyn's stuffed bear and tear him to pieces. I don't know why, but he has issues with her bear.
He's a funny, funny dog.
