Jake, my Golden Retriever, is the joy of my life. Sounds pretty corny, I know, but what the heck. He LOVES LIFE, NEW PEOPLE, and RUNNING. My husband and I took him hiking for a week--were worried about whether or not he would be able to keep up. What a joke. While we were walking, he was running--up hills, into ponds and streams, around and about, for five-six hours a day. He LOVES water (except for the bath, of course). About the only thing he loves more is having his stomach rubbed (probably a tie)
Watching the pure joy of a dog running through the woods keeps the angst away.
He's a good snuggler too.
