In our search for a new dog, we took a shot on Junior, a mixed Golden (although where that comes in, we're not sure, see picture) and an unknown breed, although Rot or Pit was the best guess. So yesterday we brought him over to see how he would do with the family. He is 5 months old and already weighs 55 pounds and was built like a linebacker. He had an absolutely great disposition, but was all puppy although built like a full grown dog. He could not sit still. He chased Gordie all over the house wanting to play (that did not go over well with Gordie, who ended up in Dad's lap most of the afternoon). So when he wouldn't play, he barked incessantly at him (annoying to both Dad and Gordie) and then decided he would try to chew everything in sight including pillows, bumper guards on the table, Brendan's trains and DVD's and Gordie's tail (again, not well received). After shopping for a cage for him, Mom and Brendan returned home. At this point, Junior decided since Gordie wouldn't play, Brendan was about the right size and ended up tackling him two or three times and wanting to wrestle. Since Brendan was outweighed by about 25 lbs., it ended up being a one sided affair. After a few times of that, we decided for the sake of Brendan standing upright over the next few months, it was time to call it a day and return Junior back to his Foster Parent. We wish him the best, he will make somebody a great dog, just not us. So it's off to probably trying to find another Golden (they just fit us to well) and we did get a call today from the Golden Rescue fund that there may be some Golden puppies available which we may be looking at. So that's our finding a new dog update for now. Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a great New Year tomorrow night.
