Golden retriever core.

I love all dogs yet am partial to labs and golden retrievers. As i drink my coffee on the back porch my golden chonk who is almost six years old.
Is digging a new best hole maybe four feet from me. I’m catching dirt shrapnel as usual from this new dig and over the years.
I’ve evolved to using a coffee cup with a cover because of flying dirt.
And dunc will dig then stop and bark into the new best hole.
I stopped asking why dunc barks into these holes as it is just best to mind my own business.

Teach them to “find my phone”.
Give the command and they sniff it out and either sit by it or point at it.
Dogs love to have job. To get a treat.

Our two tom cats earlier were having a standoff over the communal cat food bowl. Mostly growling hissing a few paw slaps no claws extended i think.

The videos are wonderful. Made me miss my golden retriever, Sage, yet again.
