Made the big decision.... [View all]

getting a golden retriever puppy this weekend. 11 weeks old, last of the litter. The lucky bastard will have the run of the house and will have plenty of room to explore the property (under supervision, of course). There will be training of course...I hope I pass the course.

Been 3 years living the monastic life...time for some 4 legged companionship.
