Likes: I like to give excessive kisses (hence the nick name Lick-Lick) , I love icecubes, chewing on gumballs and mulch until mom catches me and makes me spit them out, drinking out of waterhose when mom waters her plants, going for walks, rough housing w/Dakota
Pet-Peeves: I am not fond of sharing any toys. I don't like to share attention, don't like nail clippings or ear cleaning solution in my ears, and cats strolling onto my property.
Favorite Toy: All of the toys. Dakota isnt' aloud to have any- I'm the keeper of the toys!
Favorite Food: Bacon, and any scrap of table food I can mootch, as well as our Canidae kibble.

Best Tricks: I speak on voice command and hand signals, high five, give me skin (Shake)
Arrival Story: My new owners came to visit me and my parents at my parents breeders place which was a horse farm in the country. All the daddy dogs were outside, including my birth daddy. So they got to meet him. Then they came in the house to meet me and the remainder of my family, most of my brothers and sisters were already adopted. Me and my brother were still here. My new owners met my mom and me and my brother. I was too busy chasing my brother all over. But they caught me and looked me over. My new owner mom liked me right away. They decided to take me with them. I had to get a bath before I left with them. We rode in a car to my new owners house. When we got there, I met this male Golden Retriever they already had there. His name was Dakota. I was scared at first, but he was nice to me. He kept sniffing me. My new owners, put me down on the floor and I walked around, checking out my new digs. Dakota followed me around. I went into the kitchen and saw food in a bowl. I was curious what kind it was and went to check it out. Dakota didn't like that much. But, he was cool. He soon made me feel more welcome. I gave him a run for his money- Poor guy. I had him chasing me all over . He couldn't fit behind the sectional sofa and under the coffee table like I could. Ha Ha! I had alot of fun teasing him. The schmuck! I liked my new mom right away. I liked her cuddling me-because I missed my birth mom alot. It took me a little longer to get used to my new dad. He's cool though. Now Dakota and I are good buds and I am happy here.
Bio: Mom says I have developed quite the personality! I am very affectionate and very free with my kisses. Rather excessive really. (Hense the nick name-Lick Lick. I demand constant attention, 24/7. (Except when I am sleeping). I still think I am a lap dog, even though I now weigh like 65lbs. When mom decides to lay down on the couch and get comfy and I see her cover up with an afgan, I think that's the signal to hop on up, so I sail on top of her and get comfortable too. (Usually we are not aloud on the furniture). If dad saw me do that he would yell at me and make me get down. Mom's a softie though, and I get away with it with her.
She says "Shhh, don't tell daddy!" Dakota will see us cuddling and come over and I quickly nudge him over so I get all the attention. But mom try's to distribute him equal attention as well. I don't make it easy though. She will get mad when I get aggressive and won't allow Dakota attention, so she will make me get down and scold me. I don't like that. When I know it's time for Dad to be home from work, I go to the front door and look for him. When I hear the diesel engine of his truck come down the street, I start wagging my tail. Mom will wait till he pulls in the driveway and stops the motor, then she say's "daddy' home, go get daddy" and opens the door and we race out to his truck to greet him. We're pretty good about staying in the boundries of the front yard. So, we don't have to have a leash when we go out there. Every once in awhile, we'll be in the front yard, and if I see a kid walking past our house, I forget and get curious and run into the street to smell them and get attention. I get in big trouble when that happens. It's not very ofter though. Usually when I get too close to the street, mom calls out in a stearn voice and and I go to her. I'm getting better.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
Hello,
I am excited! I have a Birthday coming up on the 25th! I wonder what kind of surprises will come my way? I hope I gets some new toys! I love toys! (Although, Mom says I already have too many to trip over) Mom will probably make me wear a silly hat or bow on my head and want to take a bunch of photos. She's a photo nut! I wonder if I will get a cake or cool snack treats? Wow the anticipation is killing me? Koda is probably going to be a little jealous, cause I'll be getting the attention. But, mom will lavish him with equal amounts. That's what she usually does. His birthday is in Nov. His turn is coming!
I had a rough past week. I was sick. I got a nasty gastrointestinal
thing. I was feeling pretty bad. It wasn't pretty! But, I'm all better and getting back to my normal self. Thank goodness. I wouldn't want to be sick on my birthday! That would be a drag. Well-later pals!

OMG, my mom is screaming and carrying on, she just found out that she is going to be a grandma! She can't believe it. My human sister just moved away, all the way to AZ, like a week and a half ago, now she just called our mom tonight and told us that she just found out that she is pregnant. She's going to have a puppy! Oh, I mean a baby!
(Maybe twins??-our mom is a identical twin and my human sis's dad is a fraternal twin, so....... who knows, usually it skips a generation-and human sis is doubly jinxed-LOL!-poor kid) She just may have a litter!(I'm bad!) Better her than me. Hey, maybe we will get to go on vacation to AZ soon to see the litter-I mean, baby/babies. Dakota and I have never flown on a plane before. Mom and dad have though.
That would be an adventure! And we thought camping was fun. My human sis has a Boxer puppy, named Gsxr (Jixer). We got to meet him before they left for AZ. He was annoying, nipping at us all the time. His puppy teeth were sharp. Maybe by the time we go visit, he will have calmed down a bit. He is mom's grand dog. You want to hear something funny, one time, before human sis left, mom went to visit human sis's apt, and she just let Gsxr out of his kennel to go potty, and he ran to my mom all excited and jumped up on her to greet her, and pottied on mom's leg. Way to go! Mom said she got christened by her grand dog. I was wondering why, when she got home she had such a strong scent of that annoying dog on her.
Ok, well it's late and whe're going to snooze
This past weekend, my buddy, Dakota and I got to go camping with our mom and dad, to Lake Gaston (VA/NC Border). We were so excited! Usaually we aren't allowed to go on vacation with our owners and have to be borded. So, we were really excited. My day's brother owns a vacation timeshare there, and they brought a puppy, Brandy with them. She was cute, but annoying. Dad took us swimming in the lake, I was scared at first (Can you imagine a retriever scared of water?) Then, I got used to it. Dakota was a real woose though) Then we had to get bathed afterwards. We had alot of fun. We liked going for walks around the campground and sniffing all the people and other dogs. I saw some stray cats running around. I perked up when I saw them and starting barking. All mom has to say is "look, a kitty!" That definatly gets my attention. Mom wouldn't let me chase them though. Party pooper! Maybe next time.
