I love the photo!
She's so adorable... x3

How do you train her to be like that?

If my friend's dog had a tuna can on her head, she would shake it off and try to open with her claws... o.O

[MacGyver]

It takes a lot of patience and practice. c: We started out with just balancing a piece of food on her nose (been doing this since she was 4 months), then moved to different objects, higher value objects/food, then moving things to her head, and just mixing things up, making it fun for her. c: You have to set your dog up for success. If it looks like they're having trouble, go back to an earlier, easier part of the trick that she knows and just keep working. ^^
Then I taught her 'bow' and now the poor baby has to balance things on her bum now too. X3

How're everyone's Goldens? c: Heard anything new in the Golden world? (I've been deprived of the Golden-related news lately. So busy!)

Do you own a/ny Golden(s)? - Well, my dog is 50% Golden and 50% Labrador, so I guess that would count?
If so, what is his/her name and gender? - His name is Kompis, and he is a male.
How and where did you get your Golden? - I got him as a Christmas present from my stepdad, who bought him from a proper breeder, so he was given his shots and cure against worms and such already. C:
Do you compete in any sports or participate in any special activities? - No. I haven't really taught him that kind of stuff. He does fetch frisbees, but he refuses to hand them over when he gets them, so he runs around and teases us with it. xP
Pictures (optional) - None at the moment. When we try to take pictures, he wants to eat the camera or phone, so I haven't gotten alot of good photos of him. :L

Haven't been here in a while Sierra has a runny nose, not sure if she's sick, poor dog.

[MacGyver]

Hieeee! Aw Sierra is as pretty as ever! Love dat face X3

As long as the discharge is clear, I don't think it's too much to worry about. But if it lasts a long time or turns cloudy/smelly/green/etc, I would seek vet care asap. It could be something as simple as allergies or excitement, but you never know.

Goldy has an oozing
bump a few days ago,
but I cleaned and wrapped
it, and it's healing nicely.
She has another one on
her side, but that's
because my mother
tried to empty Goldy's
wax plug and made it
bleed. I'm going to
clean that one today
and make sure it's
healing at the rate it
should be. {Cancerous
bumps heal slowly/don't
heal at all. I'm always
making sure her scrapes
and bumps heal as quickly
as they should be}

Whenever it is storming or even raining, Sam goes berserk. He tears up the siding on the house and will destroy anything and everything. he just can't handle storms.
anyone know a way to fix this?

[Joe Kerr]

Have I mentioned that Goldy
is obsessed with tennis balls?

Hi again everyone!

I just wanted to say I got a new dog, he doesn't have golden in him but. A week after we got him Melba passed away (Monday) :'(
It is really hard for me considering I had her before I was born

I am so heart broken.and I can't even think about her
So right now i am tearing.up writing this but
I know she had a great life and that she is in a better place now

My new dog (Scout)
