I’m Mark Spitz, Michael Phelps and Tyler Clery all rolled intro the shape of a big handsome Golden who would rather swim than any other sport. I can chase balls, toss a stuffed toy around, run races and do other dog games but give me some water like in a pool and I am a happy guy!! I can dive, do freestyle, the butterfly and backstroke but my event is the dog paddle. Some people say I might be part fish! People are surprised to hear I am 7 – not that that’s old but I play like a much younger dog. I just left a dog shelter thanks to AGA arranging a ride for me to come to Atlanta and after a visit at the vet to help with an ear infection and get my teeth shined up I was raring to go – on to my new family that is! Yep, I made my wish list and found the perfect family to match! When mom and dad met me they just begging me to adopt them – so after a brief interview and a lengthy discussion about the new rules of my household I decided that they would work – besides they are totally golden retreiver people!!!! I will be the fourth golden that’s owned them and from how things started it seems that they are already pretty well trained (I guess I have a few golden angels to thank). My bowls were all ready – full of water and food, my toy basket was overflowing and I have a terrific house & backyard too. Dad works from home so he’ll be around to respond to my every desire and when mom gets home she can give me some golden love too! Now if I can just make them understand that the big bed belongs to me…
