Goldie comes home...

I remember the day we brought Goldie, a very stubborn and willful golden retriever, home. One of my cousins highly recommended this dog that their neighbor had and wanted to give away to a loving family. OS there we set off, the very picture of a close knit and tight family to fetch the one thing missing from our crazy lives...an even crazier Golden.
 To the uninitiated, a bit of information about Golden Retrievers. They are lovingly called Goldens. They are very energetic, fun loving, people friendly family dogs. They love food and will do and I repeat from experience absolutely love food and will do anything for it. They have lovely soft fur in colors from white, silver to bright gold and orange. They are beautiful dogs and have a wonderful spirit.

So, back to the story. The owner told us that Goldie is very well trained and walks to the left. She will never pull the leash and loves to walk with people. So, we decided to take our lovely new pet for a short walk. Well to put a long story short, the well trained walk theory went for  a toss. We came from the 4th floor to the ground in a record six seconds. She doesn't pull on the leash..yeah right only when you walk at her speed. We covered a distance of I think 1 km, before we(meaning Goldie who had the cruise control)  finally changed course and headed back. We had no disruptions of traffic or pedestrians, since no one wanted to stand in the way of a bull dozing large golden dog with two kids in the tow.

Then we got into the car and finally came home, a very happy and yapping Goldie and a very exhausted but satisfied family...
