HI Everyone!
Let me start by saying... I have learned ALOT! from reading posts & am happy to be here.
I (We) recently got a Golden retriever Puppy Diamond is 10wks. Not something we were expecting to get.. A lil Background.
my hubby & I had been together for about 2yrs myself and my kids)
We got our selves a puppy back then. 8 yrs ago.. "Duke" Lab/Rotti Miix
unfortunately.. Duke in his older yrs develeloped allergies MAJOR ones.. from everything from House flys to cotten. lamb & rice,Chicken etc etc. (he was missing hair from shoulders back + on meds for overactive thyroid)
he was a wonderful companion & Loyal to the family.. On Aug 16 he got out off of backyard.. & has been missing ever since.. I havent given up.. but no one seen/heard/or there has been no signs off him anywhere.. pounds/vets/ flyers etc. *sigh.
Duke RIP- RIP DUKE (http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=56148)
So to fill my companion need during day (I work from home) We got a puppy.
Now from what Is the story is that the mom was dumped off @ side off road.. pregnant.. The family took her in. She gave birth pretty well within 2 days off being settled. (They actually Breed labs & that is what we had orginally gone to get) She & her brother were in the kennal with about 6other labs while the labs were crying/barking craving attention, Her & her bro were sitting there looking at us with the sweetest eyes. I picked her up & she licked my face.
needles to say.. She has been a great edition to family but I still pray/hope for Duke.. he will also be happy for a playmate...
Training that I will leave for another thread... <<bangs head against wall>>
