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!!

I gave blood and a pee sample to the vet today. They'll call with the results when it's ready. If all is okay, I'm going to have the bump/cyst on my shoulder and the "growth" above my tooth removed so they can be biopsied.
Dad got my pee sample this morning. He prefers that over letting the vet do it so a styrofoam cup and the container was sitting on the kitchen counter all ready for me! It was kinda weird to have Dad follow me to the backyard this morning to put a cup under me but I let him and didn't freak out!
If I don't hear anything before the weekend, have a safe and happy 4th of July! We don't usually hear any fireworks that are close to our house, so we should be fine.
I have neglected updating my diary because we were a little distracted with what has been going on with my brother Cosmo. He doesn't seem any worse for wear, and neither do I.
When the vet did an aspirate of the bump on my shoulder, she mostly got blood but wanted to send it out to the lab anyway. They told her that there was too much blood to tell what it was, so she wants to remove it to have it biopsied. I obviously would have to be sedated to have that done and that's when she'd want to check out the growth above my tooth as well to see what it is.
The bump on my shoulder is not new. The first time they saw it they just said to watch it and it hasn't changed.
At this time, neither Cosmo or I have a set appointment for any type of surgery but we will be going back for rechecks soon. It's not because we're being overlooked, but I will say that my parents have some hesistation about disturbing things unnecessarily, even though they know discovering things early is important. Sedation is always serious.
We'll update our diaries when we have something new to report, but we are thinking and living positively! I even brought home a new tennis ball I found in the bushes today!
I went to see the vet this week for my annual exam! Of course, she said I needed to go on a diet!
I also have a couple of bumps or growths that need checking out. One is near my shoulder and the vet thinks it's a cyst, so we have to wait for the results to come back in a couple of days.
There is another growth in my mouth above one of my toofies but I have to be sedated to have it removed for a biopsy, so we all decided to wait until the results of the other bump come back first.
I'm not having any trouble eating or anything like that.
