Likes: Wrestling with Cosmo anytime he's awake, car rides and walks, playfully chasing our cats, mud puddles, pretending he isn't tearing up the lawn as we approach him
Pet-Peeves: Not being allowed to eat the cat poop, those "scary" reflections from the tv on the patio door
Favorite Toy: Cosmo, tug ropes, things he's not suppose to play with
Favorite Food: No-salt canned green beans with his kibble, Dingo bones
Favorite Walk: Neighborhood public park and dog park so he can see people, dogs, and collect tennis balls! We have dozens that he's brought home since there is a tennis court at our neighborhood park
Best Tricks: When Quincy was in his first puppy school class, we were asked to teach our pups a trick for graduation day. I taught Quincy how to "play piano" wearing his graduation cap and gown. He was a riot and the whole class gave him a standing ovation!
Arrival Story: In September of 2003, we said goodbye to Butch, who helped us raise Cosmo. No dog could replace him, but we felt a big void since Butch had been with us as long as we'd been married. We found Sherwood Goldens, a reputable breeder in San Francisco who owns a home that is full of wonderful Goldens of different ages. We just wanted to have more history this time on the health and temperament of our new addition to our family. We weren't necessarily trying to find an existing litter but maybe a puppy we'd bring home in the Spring of 2004. Coincidentally, this breeder was expecting a litter at the end of January, 2004, so that meant they would be ready to go to their new homes in March, 2004. So, we went through the screening process and were ecstatic when we were offered a puppy from this litter and had a great time preparing for the new baby. Precious puppy visits were made almost every week until we brought our Quincy boy home at eight weeks of age. The first day we brought him home he joyfully ran up to Cosmo as soon as he saw him, knowing he had a new big friend, and snuggled with him as much as he could!
Bio: Quincy was one of four boys in the litter (sadly, his little sister did not make it). We met his parents, grandparents, and other relatives. He really had a great time going to puppy classes and posed like a proud little graduate in his outfit! Though Quincy can be a handful at times, he is really sweet, happy, friendly, and loveable! It is so hard to be mad at him for any length of time, especially when he gives us "that" look when he's done something naughty! He has the true Golden spirit and we love him to pieces!!
Forums Motto: To Know Me is to Love Me
I was adored by two little girls at the dog park today! Plenty of other dogs were there but they just fell in love with my handsome face. They were petting me, hugging me, and kissing me. Next thing you know they were combing me, with a comb that goes in their hair. BOL! Their daddy was there and he didn't seem to mind. Yep, I was soaking the love up!
I usually don't play with dogs at the dog park because I'd much rather get petted by their peoples instead!
Today was an exception when I saw Griffin, a 2-year old Golden Retriever. We ran and played and ran and played and ran and played! Cosmo was busy playing with the little doggies. He likes to bark at them too!
The name Griffin happens to be the family name of one of my bestest friends on Dogster. That must be why I liked him so much!
I met a 9-month old Golden Retriever named Jack this morning at the dog park. The dog park is just a few blocks from our house. Cosmo didn't go because two walks this morning was enough to wear the old guy out.
Jack was busy chasing tennis balls and I was too busy trying to make his parents fall in love with me. I took turns sitting in front of each of them so they could pet me and tell me how handsome I was.
Jack's parents were wondering when he was going to calm down and lose some of his energy. Dad told them it'll be another five years or so!
