We had one puppy in the winter.....that was NOT an enjoyable expierence potty training him. Thankfully, it wen't quick once I took over.
Would take him to bed with me, I would wake up when he would walk around on the bed looking for a "good spot", grab him and head for the door.

Thank god it isn't kilos.....lol.
A friend got her parents golden when they could no longer take care of him, he crossed the scale at 150. They bought a used minivan to haul him around, he couldn't get in their car or truck. Took a couple years, but they got him down to 110lbs.

The vet had someone cancel and in Marlin went. I got some chewables that make the dogs jonts produce more fliud for lubrication. Its a start.
He was dropped off without a collar, so no leash today. He went in my Dr's office with me to meet their golden and the vet (no other animals there) "free...
Got my old buddy Marlin for a few days....he's 9 now and won't try to get in the car now. Going to call the vet tomorrow, get him checked out. Have a feeling he's got hip displashia going on. Been thru it with 2 other dogs, the 2nd one got steroid shots to help, made a huge difference in his...

Funny dog story for the day..
Today was the first day of school for the daughter (her first teaching job) and grandaughter in the 4th grade.
Loml had the 2yo....I pulled in the drive after lunch and Taz pointed...dogdog here! Boy was she pissed when grandpa didn't have her Marlin in the truck.

The big yellow smelly dog got groomed last week....still smells nice and clean, looks great.
Loml & daughter were garage saleing and bought him a new rawhide bone for 3 bux. He can trash the daughters house with it....lol.

When the kids moved out (after 5 years) they took Marlin with them....people tell me that isn't right...he's with you all the time! I explain, he's the kids dog, keeping them happy is his purpose.
Most don't understand how a golden is with kids....after they grow up and calm down.
Where she...
Felt sorry for the Amazon deliver driver tonite....dropped off packages at 7:00 pm, inside door was open, Marlin laying there, looking thru the storm door for rabbits.
The shit hit the fan when Marl saw the packages hit the deck. He has this blood curling high pitched bark and he went off...
Was sitting at my workbench this evening, felt something warm against my legs, wth?
Look down, dang, didn't think Marlins lard butt would still fit. Lol. He used to lay there all the time when he was....uh, smaller.

6 years, he's my granddaughters. He was less than a year old when they moved in...been a heck of a ride with him. Went from a wingnut puppy to the immovable object..lol.
Fwiw, he weighs in at a trim 120lbs.

There you go. Toby wanted nothing to do with Marlin when he showed up, different story now.
Fwiw, Toby is half Chow, not exactly the most friendly thing in the world. He got over it.
