I rescued my Golden as well. We are also a foster family for a golden retriever rescue. The horror stories are just plain sickening, especially the ones from Mexico.Hey Mr. Dog hater Dude. My dogs are on a leash, unless at home. Period. Dogs are a helluve lot more worthwhile than a Shitty GF.
With yer attitude, you'd do well to behave, and to mind yer manners. Dogs are excellent judges of Character.
They all do what they're told, and are better behaved than many children. They guard the Fuck out of my house, inside and out. 1st line of defense.
The 2 big ones are rescued from Tweaker horror. Had to steal one back, after MFKrs broke into the house and killed the mother of the other 2. Went straight to Lubbock, laid in wait,, and got my dog back.. Went to SO, and laid bare my crime. "Your Dog." Karma.
They are all grateful AF.
My 3 legged Pom was thought to be unable to breed. I wasn't going to let him live his life in a Kennel. Yeah. he's a fearless Stud. Puppies in 2 months to prove it, with Baby Grace, the little black dog. Now we know.
Do I love my dog's? Hell yeah Brother.
