Nicknames:
Doodle, Puppa, Puppa You-You; Pib, Pibby, Pibbo (lovingly short for Pain-in-the-butt)

Quick Bio:
-purebred

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!!

To Know Me is to Love Me

Week 8 - Chemotherapy

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The cats and I got dinner early because my parents were driving out to celebrate with other family members, but I was told that I was part of the dinner discussion along with the cats!

The cats have their new Christmas pages up but mine will have to wait for another week or so because I have a new outfit coming in the mail that Mom saw on eBay and expects to win it. That should be fun because I have a hard time sitting still for photos when I'm wearing stuff that I'd rather be chewing!

Dad dropped me off for my treatment this morning but it was only for bloodwork and exam and they said I was doing good. My treatment this week will be Cyclophospahamide (Cytoxan) pills at home like I had during week 3, where my parents have to wear gloves when they give the pills to me.

The people at the hospital said I was a WILD MAN! That is a good thing because it means I have energy and feel strong, so Mom was very happy when Dad told her they said that!

Have a great weekend!

Wags,
WILD MAN


Week 7 - Chemotherapy

Hi Pals,

OMD, we are so excited to see that I'm a finalist in the Best Friends and Craziest Tail categories in the World's Coolest Dog & Cat Show! I immediately noticed my friends Zaidie, Luke Skywalker, and Sophie Bean in the finals too!

My kitty siblings, Mercedes (Mercy), Reebok, Melody, Enzo, and Pixie also made the finals, and I'm very proud of them!

Thanks to all who voted and congratulations and good luck to all the finalists! The photos are pawsome!

Okay, so I got some Vincristine today. Dad dropped me off this morning, left for the dentist, and Mom picked me up a couple of hours later since she took the day off. My white blood cell count will drop a little again, so I need to build it back up before my next treatment which will be Friday of next week since Thanksgiving is Thursday.

I am doing very well so far, and you wouldn't even know I was sick if you looked at me. We count our blessings every day!

I have to tell you about my "Suspicious Sunday" last weekend. Mom and I had just reached the gate to the dog park when we saw an unfamiliar lady and her two small dogs who were inside the park. This is the conversation that took place before we entered:

LADY: Is your dog male or female?

MOM: Male (with an annoyed look on her face)

LADY: Is he fixed?

MOM: Yes

LADY: Oh, okay

MOM: Are yours male or female?

LADY: They're both males

MOM: Are they fixed?

LADY: Oh yes, they are

MOM: Well, I guess it's safe for us to come in then!!!


BOL!!! Way to go, Mom!

Love,
Quincy


Week 6 - Bloodwork is Normal!

I only had to get my blood drawn this morning, so I was back home within an hour. I wanted to wait until they called with the results before I wrote in my diary and they just called and said it was normal!I'm off the Prednisone right now as well.

The other day when Mom was cleaning the room upstairs where the cats eat, she thought I was asleep downstairs. She didn't have the gate latched while running the vacuum cleaner and when she turned around all the cat food bowls were sparkling clean. You just have to be at the right place at the right time!

Last week, I picked up a pinecone during an evening walk with Mom. I was carrying it in my mouth while walking and we ran into my buddy Casey. Next thing you know, our heads were side-by-side but we were very quiet. That's because Casey had grabbed one end of the pinecone with his mouth and we were both standing there holding it! Eventually, I let Casey have it and he dropped it before we all continued walking.

Earlier this week when I went on another evening walk with my Mom, we walked by the same spot where I had run into Casey last week. Suddenly, I started pulling Mom and then she realized why--to retrieve that same pinecone! So, she let me carry it and we continued to walk.

Well, guess who we ran into? Casey! However, this time he didn't care about the pinecone because he was more interested in Mom's long scarf, so he grabbed one end and held it tight with his teeth without pulling. Okay, so now Mom is laughing hysterically while his apologetic parents are unsuccessfully trying to pry his mouth open!

I think Casey's parents got very annoyed because they started scolding him in Russian! Casey has some strong jaws because we must have been standing there for at least ten minutes.

After all that excitement, we all decided that it was best we continued our walks, but not together! And, I brought my pinecone all the way home! I only like to carry them, but not chew them.

Next Thursday I'll be getting another dose of Vincristine.

Love,
Quincy
