is perhaps the kindest, most rewarding action in the world. Go for it, never deny but occasionally they can become very fat. I am certain you and everyone who has ever had one knows this.

I miss mine so much but our adorable crazy mixed adopted sweet guy fills the place nicely.

Still, there is something about a Golden.

Golden retrievers are precious. They know how to charm humans, and make them feel loved. When humans feel loved, they are usually generous with treats.
