I have a new mom and a brother dog who told me he came all the way from China. He is happy to be an American dog now because he is safe and loved. I have always been an American dog, I think. My mom and my brother are teaching me all kinds of things I need to know to be a good, grown up, golden retriever. It’s what they call a “work in progress.” But I’ll get there thanks to them. Lots of love from little Mona pup.
