Our brood keeps growing!!!

mike and I have been talking about getting a puppy for a long time-we went back and forth on what breed would be best for the girls,our family's lifestyle,etc. We finally decided on the Golden Retriever and started looking in the paper and online for the perfect pup!!

We found her last week-a lady had listed her English Cream Golden litter in the paper and was down to two puppies left-1 girl, 1 boy. We originally went to look at the boy b/c the breeder told us on the phone that another couple had already said they were coming to see the girl before us. we arrived at the breeder's house about 30 mins after the other couple was to be there for the girl. the lady told us that since the other couple had not called then if we wanted the girl, we could have her. She was so super sweet!! very calm,quiet and a bit timid (which I knew would go away over time). The boy was cute too but a furry ball of energy :)

We decided that we wanted to keep her and the rest is history!! We brought her home, and a day later the family decided to name her Sugar. For a puppy, she's been great!! only 3 accidents (mostly due to stress and diet change-the breeder had her on Purina which I can't stand so we switched her to Innova which is the best dog food out there outside of a raw diet-no corn,byproducts,fillers,etc.), doesn't bark, and is very obedient. She only cried for about 3 nights in her kennel and then got used to it just fine. She is almost completely potty trained-barks at the back door or hits the bell we tied to it w/her paw.

I think we are going to cherish this little girl for a long time!!!
