I have ended up in exactly the right place! My family used to have another flat coated retriever and would you believe it, his name was the same as mine! My new mom works from home and also spends time teaching me things I need to know. I don’t quite understand why I can’t help her cook the food but I guess she knows best. When dad comes home it’s my job to follow him and make sure he doesn’t leave again. We are going to “train” together to be running partners. My new brother takes me on walks and teaches me about leash walking. I have to admit I’m still growing out of my puppy behavior but couldn’t ask for a better family to help me. So here I am, all the way from being in a shelter to being saved by AGA and I consider myself one lucky dog! Kisses and thanks to everyone, Toby
